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!

You really can't expect them to leave their dummies at home 🙄

(Hoka ??) shoes that squeak loudly on every step on wet tarmac (not mine but a fellow race participant). He sat behind me for a good two miles, I then slowed down to get him past and ahead to reduce the volume.

That one annoys me too.

Feeling like shit with flu and knowing I need to miss work tomorrow when we’re short-staffed and I don’t get paid (zero hours).

Vapers who think that the "no smoking or vaping" signs apply only to smokers. I was at a rugby match yesterday where neither were allowed. No one was smoking but loads of people were vaping.
