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!

[Charlie, I have the same quandary when I do XC - I usually opt for “Running - Cross Country” as I’m not sure I could class my efforts on grass/mud as “racing”]

I agree. If they note the positions then it is a race

Unless it's 'Running - parkrun'. :)

Is it actually appropriate to call the little things that annoy me 'pet hates'? 'Pet' implies special and cherished, but I have hundreds of them...

More like a herd of hates, by the sound of it.

Perhaps they are "pet" because allowing yourself to have them is a gross indulgence, and because you foster and nourish them.

Having to fill in a very un-user friendly form in order to get paid for approximately half the amount I actually worked, leaving aside the extra 4 hours I had to spend getting there each time.
