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!

People playing that silly Wham game. Unless you are totally stone deaf I call bullshit on you claiming you still haven't heard it.

Raptors Claws are Coming to Town
I'm not sure I've been Whamageddoned this year, but my gears were ground by a hideous breathy smushed-around version of A Spaceman Came Travelling.

I honestly don't know what it is. I've seen Whamageddon mentioned on Facebook but assumed it was related to the club challenge lots of people are doing (but not me; you have to be on *strava*).

It seems like maybe it's something else.

Christmas stuff is the one (seasonal*) chore which SWMBO takes the lead on. It irks that I'm almost shut out of it :-( [Christmas and Boxing Days we're at her parents. They cook, we all clean up

It’s something to do with not hearing ‘Last Christmas’ bring played. 🤷‍♀️

I'm pretty sure I haven't heard it, but then I did most of my Christmas shopping with earphones on, and have only gone out to the cinema or restaurants that don't play that kind of music (because I pretty much have no life any more).
