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!

That stupid BBC trailer (or whatever you call it when the programme's already aired) with Danny Dyer trying to smash a watermelon while being 'royal'. It was already an incredibly lame, dumb idea for a programme and showing that clip over and over is not going to drive me to watch it on iplayer.

That, at... pretty much any time of day really - but especially unwelcome at six in the morning.

I get v annoyed too at the call for doing away with male/female prizes just because an exceptional, one off talent like Jasmin win a race. One lady winning a race does not prove that all men and women are the same.

Our small team won the Equinox small team category 3 years ago - beating several all male teams in the process. That does not prove women are the same as men. We had a couple of sub elite female runners in our team - I suspect had the male teams had similar we would not have won. That said it was good to chick all the male teams - some of whom were very peeved at the prize giving! :)
