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!

A quick "Sorry, I just run around here" is sufficient if you don't want to lose your rhythm Steve.

A lot of people who are lost deserve to be so because they are too lazy or stupid to make an effort to know where they are supposed to be going. Some of the people who've asked me for directions over the years defies belief. Being a postie doesn't make me a human sat-nav btw as that really grinds my gears!

I once got asked for directions to Windsor Castle, which was odd as I was quite a long way away at the time. I had to check twice they didn’t mean the nearby pub of that name.

[I was once asked for directions to the local city centre shopping centre by a family who, unknown to them, had rocked up to the wrong city. And it took a considerable while to persuade them that they were most definitely in the wrong city for the shopping experience they wanted ~ they were very insistent that said shopping centre experience WAS definitely HERE 'somewhere'! ;-) ]

Death pure and simple grinds my gears today. The process of who dies when is cruel and needs better rules. Now if god ever lets me discuss it in detail I will try to have the future set out better. Sadly I may not get that Gig.

The belief that a Royal pregnancy is of sufficient importance to be the lead story in the news.

[When I saw Meghan arrive at the Wedding of the Lunch Hour last week, I said, 'She's pregnant.' So it's not news to me, and I'd like to hear actual, real, 'news' please.]
