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!

[With the strife X-mas can instil, Merry Crossmasl, it might be seen as quite apt for the stress of the seasonal ill will ;-) ]

The headmaster of my infant school, Notty North, (staunch Methodist lay preacher) ranted at us in assembly one day about "Xmas - taking Christ out of Christmas!" He was very scary - shouty, with the veins on his neck bulging and bits of spittle showering over the 5 year olds in the front row. I've never ever used Xmas since, and this was getting on for 50 years or more ago.

I once read a newspaper article by a writer on religion about all the good things about there being an X in Xmas. Even as a nipper who'd been taught that the minister can do no wrong, I thought it was bunkum.

When it says 'prick microwave meal several times before heating' and people think they have to stab the bastard to death but slamming the fork into it 50 times!! Boils my piss.
