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!

My former American colleagues were very free with their reach arounds, as we also called them

You can always deliberately mis-spell it.

I find referring to retching out tends to stop the conversation most effectively. :-)

To 'fetch around' might describe touring the site for interesting stuff :)

One for American Football fans:

An official misses the most blatant foul and the culprit isn't even watching the ball, costing the Saints a place in the Superbowl. Rumours are out that the referee even lives in LA. Every time I watch it, it's a clear foul (pass interference).
