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!

Bingo and gambling adverts in general on TV.

Especially adverts that show mobile phone bingo as being so much fun, and a big community thing, instead of the life-ruining thing they are.

my (current) pet advert hate is the deodorant ones showing someone exercising enthusiastically but not sweating on the part of their body where they've sprayed the deodorant, apparently for the next 72 hours. It's blatantly untrue and i don't know how they get away with it. I don't think I sweat any more than the average person, but by the time I walked one mile to the train station yesterday, which was a very hot day , I was sweating despite having used that exact brand of deodorant.

I thought antiperspirant stopped sweating and deoderant just made you sweat smell nice ;)

Garmin not bothering to upload my "training" to itself, or if it does manage that, not sending it to Fetch.

We are due to have workmen here today to install a shed. They've given us a time window of 2pm to 6pm. They've not shown up yet. Nobody is able to give us an update. Are they on the way? Will they turn up? Surely it's not a difficult task for the installations manager to keep a check on his team and let the customer know what's occurring.
