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!

Lose/loose annoys me. I get slightly annoyed by defiantly instead of definitely but also usually amused by the inadvertent meaning of the incorrect use

+1 for lose/loose, also where/were
+1 for snowflake - usually the people using it as an insult are more over-sensitive and ridiculous as their purported target

The humans of Facebook world are grinding my gears lately. Idiocy, triumphalism, "do your research, sheeple" - and I've a couple of friends who bait these people, and so Facebook's algorithm decides that I want to see every comment. I've really lost faith in humanity.

Stupid people who block the roundabout exits causing the whole roundabout to be gridlocked.
