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. But to be honest, I was bloody hungry, it was 8:30 and I couldn't take the other adults moaning at me because I hadn't done it.

I grind my own gears.

"Child starts school shocker! Read all about it!"

Or, hear all about it, actually. Why is this being covered on the BBC radio news?

People being sniffy and snarky about stuff other people (strangers to them) like* (not on here, I might add).

Having to clean and tidy up the house as the in-laws are staying over. Both of these events grind my gears :-(

Links to interesting-looking articles that turn out to be paywalled.

Forgetting to apply Skin So Soft to bare legs before going to parkrun, and providing breakfast for chiggers as a result.

The way the BBC has recently upped the amount of advertising and inane chat padding out their programmes.

How when one presenter is replaced with 2 when they plead poverty all the time.
