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 love the way Windows updates ‘zip’ through to 30%, then sit there for ages.

Love it!
Could easily be followed by

"Okay I'm 99% of the way there"
5 minutes later....
"Yep, 99%"
5 minutes later....
"Okay, I'm 100% there but I still have a few other things to do so sorry to keep you waiting"
