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!

A few months' back, I ordered a curry and got the wrong one. The correct one arrived ten minutes later. Got to keep both at no extra cost!

This obsession with drinking alcohol at the World Cup. Seriously, its embarrassing.

^^^ That. Plus, the obsession with the World Cup generally.

People who talk about *The* World Cup without specifying sport or gender.

Someone from the Welsh gov office made a reference to 'Wales being in the world cup for the first time' the other week, and I was so confused. We've been in every world cup, men's and women's. We hosted the first women's one.

Then I realised she was talking about men's soccer.

Teachers giving kids a "treat" irrespective of whether they like football or not (and you can guarantee that the Teacher does):



Sian's not going, despite great achievements. We'll reward her separately.

when my eldest was in primary school, his end of year treat from the school - in a week when they'd learnt about mountains - was to watch The Sound of Music

Idea (from a teacher 40 years at the chalkface): balance this 'treat' up with an action plan for addressing the areas for improvement for pupils not 'making the grade'.

We said something similar, swittle - whilst it's nice to have our daughter included in the 'doing well' group, she's often been excluded and it's harder to motivate from that position.

Email from British Gas: We’re sorry, when we moved you to our new system, we didn’t set up your Direct Debit. This means we didn’t collect 1 payment.
Ways to pay
If you’d like to make a catch-up payment now or at a later date, you can do so by logging into your online account.

I logged on to my account but it won’t let me make a payment because a payment is due to be taken 🤦‍♂️
