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!

yes, exactly that Fitz! Especially companies I KNOW I never ticked a contact box for. I took my car to the main dealer a few months back and gave my email address so they could send me a video or some such shit, they have bombarded me with spam ever since. As if it wasn't bad enough paying main dealer sky high prices for something really simple which nobody else would do!

I'm still getting spam from a hotel I stayed in, in Belgium about 4 years ago. I haven't been back and I've tried to unsubscribe several times.

:) awh

The fact that something probably unavoidable happened after I asked someone at work to do something, and now they feel awful about it and I feel awful because if I hadn't got them to do it then they would be OK.

And that I'm fretting over it instead of just leaving it at work.

[email spam ... I do have a separate special email I give to people/sites when I don't want the spam - and makes checking emails a lot easier]

driver stopped in the middle of the road with a queue behind her while she texted... realises there's a queue, drives on while continuing to text, realises with a lurch that she's not driving straight, stops to continue texting.
