Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Though sometimes that's their kids rather than their dog.

My neighbours have two sons and a dog. I genuinely don't know which of the three boys names they are constantly yelling belong to the kids, and which is the dog because they talk to them the same way.

Why do some people think that just calling a dog or child [when they are out of order] means they are going to come back or start behaving. Quite often, you need to actually get up and go to the situation in order to resolve it instead of constantly shouting.

Some eBay bot sneaking the option of making offers into my listings, so that I'm inconvenienced by vultures dropping piss-taking numbers on me, and not letting me edit it out so I have to end and redo the listing and watch it like a hawk.

The dinosaur Peter Alliss and his pathetic bleating about how it was all so much better fifty years ago when there was no such word as "sexism".

(He was being interviewed in connection with the Andy Murray interview correction. Just leave him to his entitled idiocy in some antediluvian golf club bar instead of putting him on the radio to boil my piss when I'm trying to relax in the all to rare sunshine :-(.)

'favourings'. (Not flavourings themselves but the lazy listing on ingredients lists ... what flavourings? My ear wax? My ToeJam? Local Free Range Homeless Guy's Two Week Knob Cheese?)
