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!

Bloody misery guts who lives across the road from my local parkrun and junior parkrun route, complaining all over social media about the clapping and cheering going on “for hours”. By his own admission he’s lived there less time than the parkrun has used that park.

Thankfully most of the commenters have told him to shut up and get a life, in varying degrees of politeness.

[I definitely have a different Twitter feed to OH who's forever boiling about something or other.
My timeline comprises mainly the weatherman from Points West, traffic conditions on the M5, an art history guy, and the MERL in Reading. I enjoy reading my Twitter feed.]

What sort of person stands outside their fish shop, opening champagne, insults the Queen and takes delight that she has passed away? Then is stupid enough to film themselves doing it and puts it on social media?

Her customers in the village have already responded by pelting her shop with eggs and smashing the windows. Probably the end of her business too. Angry locals vindicated.

Ally-C I said the same to my hubby! I'm afraid I don't understand this 'mass outpouring of grief' (for want of a better way of describing it). I'm sad that the Queen has died, but it was inevitable (as it is for all of us!).
