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!

"1) My toaster. 5 minutes: warmish bread. 5 minutes and one second: irretrievably burnt toast."

my toaster cooks each side of the slice of bread to different degrees. Annoyingly, one side isn't quite done enough, the other is slightly over done. The one at work isn't deep enough so the top inch of the slice is un-toasted.

companies that send emails that a) don't have an unsubscribe function, and b) have small print that says "if the details we have about you are incorrect please contact us", but it's a 'do not reply' email and the small print doesn't say how to contact them

These! I get three or four emails a day from ā€œcredit sesameā€ and in order to unsubscribe I have to log in- I have never had an account or even visited the site. They just get sent straight to the bin now but the inability to unsubscribe makes me so mad!

Didn't "logging-in" to a website you "have never had an account or even visited" not raise even the tiniest red flag here? Not surprised the spam keeps coming. I'd be making sure none of my passwords for other sites are *not* the same one as used for 'credit sesame'!

Well I donā€™t have a password for credit sesame as Iā€™ve never logged in. But I donā€™t reuse passwords anyway.
