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!

All the furore surrounding the price of booze. For God's sake: nobody has a RIGHT to alcohol and it isn't one of life's essentials so if it becomes too expensive for some people then ... live with it. As for the idea that "this just punishes people who drink sensibly" - I don't know where to even begin with the stupidity of such an argument.
The price of electricity and gas, no THAT's worth getting in a state about.

Movember. Im sorry but surely there is a better way to raise awareness for mens cancer than asking for sponsorship because you are letting your body do something it does anyway i.e. grow hair. I mean ffs, would you sponsor me for not shaving my legs, or having a period? At least completing a race for life requires some actual commitment and has some achievement attached to it.

Also as every-bloody-body does it and all at the same time, who the hell do you sponsor? Im not made of frickin money!

I think sponsoring for periods could be a good idea.

Jamuary?

Jen, tell the people of Scotland that access to cheap booze isn't covered by the Human Rights Act!

I am equally appalled and amused by Jamuary.

DK thank you for making me feel less of a miserable bastard, or at least not a miserable bastard on my own :)
