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!

Quiz contestants that give their life story before saying their answer to a question. Just say the damn answer! No one cares what you did when you were at school or travelling around South America when you were 25!!

It’s just a way of packing out a thirty minute program to a full hour.

[Yep. Some workmates did Eggheads, and they were instructed to share their rationale and fill the time. Giving a short and sharp decisive answer (because you just know it) wasn’t what they wanted.]

Pip threw up in the car on the way home from swimming yesterday, so now has to stay at home for two days / 48 hours, even though nothing is wrong with him. Work will go on the back burner. Again. FFS.

When people choose to take offence, especially when they've provoked the behaviour in the first place.

Radio 2 choosing Adele as “Record of the Week” and Coldplay as “Album of the Week”, they don’t need any help from you, BBC, but there are plenty of bands/artists who with just that extra push could realise their dream…..😡😡😡
