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!

Thank goodness for the 'Moon Shaped Pool' cd I put in my car.

the couple in the Medium Pace swim lane today who were swimming slower than the only person in the (very wide) Slow Pace lane. I had to resort to some serious tutting, which isn't easy in water!

Holiday cottages that don't put salt in the salt shaker or extra toilet rolls in the bathroom.

A bit like your swimming gripe, Gordon.

Slow runners who start races near the front and subsequently hold up everyone else. I have done a couple of races where participants have walked virtually from the off and got in the way.

Almost as bad as runners sticking with their pacers and blocking the whole road.

Second the above, and will add the term "my truth", as in "I want to tell my truth". Keep reading it everywhere, and it gets right up my snozz!

People sans mask on public transport.

I don’t care about your views on COVID, vaccines, Laurence Fox, tin-foil helmets or Zuckerberg. The fact is that masks are compulsory on public transport. If you don’t like it, FUCKING WALK.
