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!

"pourri" is French for rotten or decayed, so the French know a thing or two.

I scanned the headlines on the BBC website and saw who would be getting the Lifetime Achievement award at tonight's SPOTY bash. Why are they telling me this? Why can't they just keep their fucking trap shut? If I knew who it was I'd have the decency and respect to keep mum. Wankers.

We don't use air fresheners of any sort, really. Mainly because of Number 3's lung problems. I'm unconvinced by the "natural fragrance" claims of companies, when most the ingredients in air fresheners are a product of the petro-chemical industry.

Our lives have not taken a body blow as a result of this stand.

Lord Coe getting the BBC Lifetime Achievement Award. He ran a couple of good races in the 80s but since then he's been a politician or an administrator. I don't believe he was solely responsible for winning the bid of the London Games being such a success. Compared to previous winners, he doesn't deserve the award.

He used to be William Hague's judo partner. He deserves it just for that.

Isn't "girls just wanting to have fun" a rite of passage though V-Rap, and something us Elders have bemoaned down the centuries, as they will do at the younger generation when they're older? Doesn't make it sound any better, though.

Dunno, Frobester. I think I just hate the noise the stupid inane screechy song makes, even without interpreting it as, "Girls just wanna vomit in their handbags and get chlamydia and hypothermia."

People's expectations and not being able to say the "NO" word :-(
