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 always try to open a window (where possible), then chuck on the headphones to not hear the tutting of the permanently central heateds...

adverts that sell you products based on the fact they tackle the "7 signs of...", as if that number is some kind of scientifically proven measure rather than something dreampt up by an advertising exec.

The advert about “boomerang smells” always hacks me off. Because they don’t exist. A marketing department just made them up!

Mildly ground gears when people define everything they do by how far it was. 4 mile run, 8 mile walk. What about the scenery, the weather, the company, etc

The fact that I've come on this thread and completely forgotten what I'd come to moan about.
