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!

[Impressed by your gymnastics, though. One-handed handstand on the desk to be rounded off with an extravagant dismount?]

job adverts where the salary is listed as 'competitive'. Your idea of competitive may well be very different from my idea of competitive...

Emails from BT suggesting they want to give me more when in actual fact all they want is for me to pay them more.

EON sending message after message after message offering to fit a smart meter, and if I don't want them to do so, to contact them.

Well EON, I've contacted you a number of times to tell you to politely knob off with your crap smart meters, and still you keep pushing. Bugger. Off.

when I ignore my sat nav and take a different route, only for the sat nav to realise that my route is 3 mins quicker than its original route. How did you not know that already, sat nav?!?!?

shopping websites that present you with a long list of ways to filter the item you're looking for but then update (slowly) after each one you click instead of having a single button to click after you've picked all your options.
