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!

back to radio DJs. I also hate Steve Wright with a passion -a nd have done so since the 80s. Just can't stand his voice and manner - really grates on me.

All football commentary. These days its just a love-in for the biggest teams.

In European ties they seem to think that if Liverpool or Man Utd (just as an example) are playing then everyone in the country will be supporting them and speak with bias accordingly. This is despite the fact that it is very likely that there are plenty of people watching who hope said big team will get utterly horsed.

What WS ? ... it's understandable that your dad doesn't have wifi or it's understandable that his lack thereof grinds your gears ? (Or both.)

Went to the Athletics the other day; people were photographing/taking movies of the action on the big screen - presumably to load onto their social media to boast and prove 'I was there'.

Grrrr
