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!

Ultracat - Yes. I've seen that on the BBC news website. An overrated pub singer cancels her gigs - So what?!

While I'm here; another thing that I find annoying. That woman from Gavin and Stacey (the blonde one). She does voice-overs for some adverts (furniture I think). Her voice grates and is so irritating.

[Don't care about her accent - it's the squeaky tone that makes me reach for the mute button. It really grates.]

She does voice over for a mattress company. Her voice is hardly one I associate with getting a comfortable night's sleep.

I like Welsh accents but find her voice too harsh and squeaky.

The Eggheads team members sit far too close together. Whatever happened to personal space?!

I've often thought the same JK. It's not her accent (not Welsh myself but have lived in Wales for many years), it's the pitch and tone of her voice that really grates. She someone manages to be both nasal and high-pitched at the same time.

Parcelforce tracker states their driver left the depot with my package at 10.04 am this morning. Nine hours later and still not arrived. How many parcels can you fit in a van that it takes that long to arrive? If there is an issue, tell me!

Could have been easier from me to go to their depot and collect it in person.
