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!

People who are very OH-EMM-GEE-I'm AWESOME, but project their impressedness with themselves on to other people.

Especially if they do it to me.

Or do it to me by association. FWIW, your doctor, whoever he/she is, has NEVER been amazed that you've survived infancy/Ever Walked Again/had a baby/done a race. We see miracles all the time. You're just routine.

Cars, scooters, motorbikes, buses, ANYTHING other than a bicycle in the little box at the front of the queue for the traffic lights with a helpful picture of a BICYCLE painted on it. Numpties.

And vehicles that start to creep forward in anticipation of the red light changing colour. It's still red, so still stop, you twats.

TV companies that have given licence to some dickhead with a digital music gizmo to totally ruin a programme with music that is completely over the top or so loud you can't hear the dialogue. When David Attenborough is carefully treading through the African bush there isn't some giant sound system blasting out some over dramatic music is there? Just let us hear the sound of nature FFS

Newspaper weather stories. Granted it's got a tad nippy and many of us have a covering of snow. Not really 'artic blizzard' 'the big freeze' etc is it. And they always say 'and there's more to come...'.

The Daily Excuse is probably the worst in this regard. They were forecasting an "arctic blast "in October and it promptly got warmer.

Yes, and they always quote some obscure bloke from some fictitious sounding weather company as the 'expert' predicting the 'current cold snap is set to continue until March' and 'worst winter for 20 years'.
