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!

You've reminded me - that idiotic and pointless Halifax ad with Top Cat.

The debate on Twitter about XC and women running shorter distances. Women talking bollocks and still pretending to be semi feminist.

Yes XB "that's aaaawful" said in the most annoying fake American accent ever.

Actually, all Halifax adverts with famous cartoon characters annoy me.

The toilets in our town's Patisserie Valerie - they are individual toilets directly off the cafe, so that if you left the door ajar afterwards you could see the toilet from most seats in the cafe while eating.

I'm not squeamish and I don't know why this grinds my gears.

That sounds disgusting even if you’re not squeamish, Carp. Nobody ever wants to stare at a toilet :)

Email from Tomtom saying they are discontinuing Lifetime Maps on my model of Tomtom. But I can get a discount on a new one! What part of "Lifetime" don't they understand?

A member of my team thinking she needs to work on her ‘bikini body’ before her holiday. She isn’t grinding my gears but the marketing industry spouting this kind of bolloxs is.
