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!

Amazon reviews that go, "I've just received this book, I haven't read it yet, but it seems OK." Eh?

Or: 'I bought this as a present, so I've not read it.' 3 stars.

Or: 'This book is brilliant. Best ever.' One star.

Or: 'This never arrived'. One star.

Veet For Men, Bic For Her and sugar-free gummy bears.

Look up the Amazon reviews if you want to waste ten minutes crying with laughter.
