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!

Products that are "designed to be something".

If we go back 60-70 years, aircraft were no doubt designed to be safe, but it didn't stop them from being uncontrollable or falling apart once in the air and crashing.

And "architect designed". Doesn't mean that the architect was any good.

Came home tonight to find that my low front garden wall had been partly damaged by a vehicle. Probably a delivery van mounting the dropped kerb (as mentioned previously on this thread). No apology note and nothing seen by my neighbours.

More annoying in that I have hardly been away from the house recently (except when out running) and that it was only repaired last year as a result of another driver's incompetence.

Why are BBC1 and BBC2 showing exactly the same programme simultaneously? What is the point in that?
