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!

I often wear "shights". I don't give a flying one what people think about my choice of running attire but if self-conscious people are going to be dissuaded from taking up exercise because a running podcast gave their choice of clothing a comic nickname, that would grind my gears.

In fairness Fitz, the things people say about lycra are pretty uncomplimentary too.

I guess the one thing you could probably say is "shights fits all thighses".

The bumtrumpet who put his clothes on top of my towel which was on a hook in the changing room. My towel won’t dry and your clothes will get damp. Idiot.

there's a moving mannequin in Reigate sports shop wearing shights.

I think it's been running creakily for ten years or more. I do not know how anyone can work in the shop.

People who refer to their other half as their partner instead of boy/girlfriend, fiancé(e) or husband/wife. A partner is just an acquaintance or colleague, not far short of Del Boy referring to Raquel as being his 'significant other.' If my [now] wife had called me her partner, I would start thinking that our relationship was not serious as she was implying that I was just another person she had regular dealings with.

It may sound daft but I find it irritating.
