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!

I think, I think, I think, says the weathercaster, whose personal speculation has no place in the forecast.

Touch screens on phones that, when the page loads, suddenly jumps just as you are about to press a button, usually resulting in you pressing the 'yes I'm happy for you to spam me for the rest of my life' button

The BBC is quoting Professor Sally Bloomfield, at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine as saying that 60* is far hotter than any sauna.

bbc.co.uk

I assume that neither she nor the reporter (who is a fact-checking reporter!!!!!!!!!!) has ever experienced a sauna.

[Yep, saw that too - they are right about baths that hot being very dangerous though, but not the comparatively dry heat of a sauna.

Their overall point is right, you won't kill the virus inside you with a sauna as raising your internal temperature enough to kill the virus would also kill you!]
