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!

If their tax didn't keep the likes of me in a job, I could justify going into private practice and could afford twice as many bikes :)

(Not, of course, that I believe that anyone in this town has ever paid a penny piece in tax apart from the voluntary tax-on-the-stupid that is the National Lottery.)

Eck in the Royal Box at the Men's Final .....Gladhanding it with Rod Laver like they're fellow sporting icons ,doing the trademark Nat wide-clap at the finish like a caller at a Brechin barndance and failing to properly unfurl the Salty Tire that the First Wummin had secreted in her handbag ...All in all , a cracking advert for the No campaign..!

That's actually OK. It's when people are talking about something and say "Cutesy-nickname is so up for this tonight. She's going to blast away the competition" and they're actually talking about themselves.

The staff at the Tesco Express near me at work who address me and everyone else as darling - they say it pretty much every other word - it starts to get right on my nerves....thats 50p love, do you want a bag love, is that all you need love 50p chage love, have a nice day love - its not that I object to being called love as its a northern thing its the repeated lvoe and darling that they use about a dozen times in conversation with everyone. I often wonder if they have been on a course and told it makes them seem mroe friendly if they refer to everyone as darling or love.
