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!

People using 'FOMO' wrong. It's not envy/jealousy.

(Just occurred to me that there is actually an appropriate time to say “thanks for reaching out”: when you’re hanging by your fingernails, having just slipped over the edge of a cliff.)

The race I'm doing next weekend hasn't published the start time on their website or in anything I've received.

There is a countdown click that I've used to work out the time, but this seems like a huge oversight to me.

My wife tells me I’m being a nob for this but it does wind me up.

After 4 months in Spain and Morocco, I’m a great admirer of the foreign car registration plate. It does the job of clearly identifying the vehicle with a high degree of uniformity especially the Spanish.

And now that the ferry is near, the UK cars are gathering and what an unholy free-for-all mess. FFS get a grip and be more Español.

Just me? Probably.

Vodafone harassing me via text and email to upgrade. Feels like it’s been hundreds of messages - I’m really sick of it now. How come companies have free licence to bother you via phones and computers, but if a human did it, they’d be up for harassment.

"Quick question..."

Sure, but finding the answer is rarely quick.
