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!

BBC Sport website

Leicester about to play in a European Rugby final, but no mention on the beeb. They do have a story crowing about the 6 Nations staying on their channel. Stories about ice hockey and MMA, swimming, athletics, golf and a shit ton of football, including Eric Dier's veg patch. Crap. Shut the whole sorry lot down.

Dental floss packs that are opaque rather than translucent so you can't see if you're about to run out, and you go to pull out a length of floss and it's only 2cm short and no good for anything.

Well bugger my buttocks!

No sooner do I vent my spleen on here, a story about Leicester's match magical appears as the 3rd item on the home page.

Food packaging where the cooking instructions are on the reverse of the label. Why?

In a similar vein, packaging of delicate foods with ingredients on the bottom (like an apple crumble, for example). I need to read the ingredients, but that involves either turning it upside down, ruining it (and so selecting a different one from the shelf), or a bizarre almost Lion King pose to read the underside...

It's like they want me to enjoy an allergic reaction...

People in big towny 4x4s on the single track lanes here: not pulling in, but forcing you to get stuck!!! Also: nit reversing the 5 metres to the passing place they just passed. In stead making you reverse half a mile to the next one.

[V'rap, that people I know comment and share and tag those posts winds me up no end. And without justification either since I am never going to appear on one because they are all English names).
