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!

Starting 90% of sentences with the sorely misused conjuction, 'So' has become commonplace, closely followed by coming to the end of a sentence and saying, 'Yes', doubtless seeking some form of confirmation of what has come before by so doing.

Quite often it isn't 'yes', it's 'yeah'

[oh, now I'm tempted to say "from the gecko" on purpose.

FDNB, the sanitiser dispenser outside our work bike shed delivers very sticky gel. Turns out that using it then pushing bike by saddle ends quickly in very sticky trousers. ]

As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the gecko (in the gecko)

And his mama cries
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It's another hungry mouth to feed
In the gecko (in the gecko)

Posthumous birthdays. It’s not John Lennon’s 80th birthday, he stopped having birthdays in 1980.

And the extra-evil cousin of posthumous birthdays, “happy birthday in heaven, mum” FB posts.

The way the washing machine tells me the cycle I've selected lasts one hour something, so I press the button, and when I look five minutes later it tells me it has two hours and fifty-two minutes still to run.
