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 that was the original purpose, to limit the user to the max field length. Rather than the OCR reason]

Fragile Do Not Bend
[In those days my street name and village name were often too long for the boxes, but I would just go over the edge. I’d love to have known if a OCR programme could cope with my handwriting, even my block capitals aren’t easy to read :) ]

Every time I make a sandwich (usually twice a day) I put the knife in the sink/dishwasher before I've cut them in half.

Does the F1 highlights prog on Ch4 ever get to the race? 20 mins in and it’s all chat chat chat.
Now I know why the ‘highlights’ lasts longer than the actual race.

keyboard warriors on pokerstars today, especially the type who make bad calls with ace-six off suit against a (much) better hand and have the audacity to call you the arsehole.

(top insult of the day - probably 'FUK U BRITISH DONK'. wonder if they will change my username... ;) )
