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 asked him so see if he could get something whilst he was out. He texted me to let me know he was heading home but of course it doesn’t occur to him to tell me if his mission was successful or not without prompting.

A beautician we have known for years reads over every e-mail we send and only replies with her latest offers. In her case, we don't bother resending the original message.

Too much choice!! In the good old days, if you wanted a new pair of leggings you had a choice of about three brands and a similar number of different designs (go to leggings every time were Ron Hill drifit, so easy peasy). Nowadays, you are overwhelmed with choice (as an example, Sportsshoes.com has 342 pairs in my size to choose from!!) and I end up getting nowhere!! Anyone else have this problem, or is it just me?

I've got too many different leggings to choose from in my own house, let alone on the internet.

People in my office putting up green balloons and encouraging us to celebrate 'Wear green and go to the pub for a Guinness day.' No-one in my team is Irish although one lady is married to an Irishman.

It probably won't go down too well if next month I put up red and white bunting and coerce everyone to join me down the pie and mash shop.
