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 hate all those cloying terms from pet owners. Also putting words in their mouths in cod English, eg Hooman

Terms like 'these bad boys'. 'winner winner chicken dinner'. Yeah great, have a result and your dream is a chicken dinner.

[I was totally against those memorial pebble things, small enough to keep in your pocket.

Til a friend sent me one, unexpectedly, in the post after my dog died. I cried when I opened the envelope.

(Unfortunately, the new puppy keeps trying to eat it, so it has to live a drawer!)...]

That the whole "Buy British" thing has been taken over by right wing Brexit types.

Concerts by my favourite bands during week days instead of weekends. As they are usually at big venues that are nowhere near where I live, I have to use a day off from work or not go 🙄

Having a day/week/month to celebrate a sexual orientation or ethnicity. Every time I log-in at work, something pops up. Look, we're not ignorant and we live in a multi-cultural and diverse society but is it really necessary?

I'm starting to feel excluded as I don't ever recall a celebrating a white heterosexual male day, or anyone of the three for that matter.

Aw. The only comfort i can offer Phil is the stats about your demographic being paid more and discriminated against less :-)

International men's day is November 19th, if that's any comfort to you, Phil.
