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!

Gear grinding - bastard parasites that phone me up to ask if I have received all the compensation I am due as a result of my recent car accident three years ago?

When will it end? How come "data protection reasons" prevent them putting anything in writing to me, but insurance companies (on whose behalf they are claiming to act) insist on putting everything in writing to me?

A quote in a BBC report about Ticketmaster changing its method of checking that a real person rather than a robot is accessing its site:

"We're starting to see an uptick in fan satisfaction,"

An uptick - since when was uptick an acceptable noun in the English language

February.

Arse-wipe of a month at the butt end of winter. Sleety, grey, dark, cold and by this time you're really fed up with winter. Nothing good ever happens in February. Could well be the Mayans were right, just a couple of months off with the exact timing.

Websites that go down and don't get their server issues sorted for bloody ages. Meaning you keep trying to access it but keep getting the same sodding error messages for hours...

(In this case, not this one. At the moment)

Only a little bit of grindage

Known fact that people who claim to be mad, bonkers and/or funny are nothing of the sort.
