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!

Facebook in general is annoying, what might have started out as a good way to keep up with your friends is now just hijacked by adverts, full of the totally mundane as we all realise how tedious we all actually are and become some kind of weird monitoring tool. I might take myself off it.

Agree with the 'hun' thing XB, seems so false and trying-too-hard. It's a particular habit with my married-with-kids friends who haven't had a social life in about a decade.

I'll see your "Hun/Hon" and raise you a "Babe". I absolutely HATE that - it's the only thing that I have in common with Pamela Anderson's Barb Wire character :-)

My ex would call me 'Babes'. Just how camp and pretentious is that? I should have seen the signs...
