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!

I overheard a guy in the hospital cubicle next to me a few weeks ago spelling the nurses' names in the NATO phonetic alphabet ... Kilo, Alpha, Tango, India, Echo ... Victory, India, Charlie, Kilo, Yellow ... SO CLOSE, but least he was giving it a good go to try and Whiskey Oscar Oscar them ;)

I’m often tempted to use the cockney alphabet but I can’t remember all of it :)

A for ‘orses

B for mutton
C for yourself
etc…
