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!

In relation to Jock Itch's post on page 1615, when people take their child out for tea and call it 'date night'. That's just creepy.

Father-daughter time? Totally. But not a date.

Challenged it on a FB post once and got told to lighten up. I should have asked them if they were planning on having a bit of a fumble behind the pub carpark.

Quite right, Cackleberry, and date implies romantic intention.

People who ignore the one-way system in the car park to jump the queue while others are waiting for people to park to get past.

People who take half an hour to get into the easiest of parking spaces.

The expression 'loved ones'. Let's have 'friends and family'.
