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!

[Technically and traditionally, Sunday is the first day of the week. Even though most people think their week starts on Monday.]

weeks are just arbitrary delineations therefore they don't start or end at all

Yes, but no. Saturday and Sunday are known as the weekEND, therefore Monday is the first day of the week. Trying to convince me otherwise is a waste of time.

FB notifications that my application to join a load of groups I didn't want to join has been rejected. Those "click on this link to join a load of groups vaguely related to the post you're looking at" things are a nuisance.

Somehow, I was accepted onto two groups last week which I had not applied to join.

Restaurants that only let you see their menu and opening times if you're on FB. (At least I assume they do - maybe they like to keep these things to themselves.)
