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!

Worst advert? That bloody "vintage" dress! Looks like some kind of 1980s C&A reject!

The Daily Mail. Yes, i know, everyone hates the Mail, but I'm having to read it today for interview prep, the first time in about a year. I'd forgotten just how facile and vile it is - unless you're a woman, under 30, with a 'washboard stomach' and 'flowing locks' you don't count. There are at least two entries for the talentless Kardashians, oxygen thieves that they are, I recognise about half the other 'celebs' mentioned and the paper's focus on the death of Cory Monteith is gruesome and unnecessary. It feeds on misery and insecurities. It is loathsome.

What's so depressing is that people will read this and believe sincerely this is how they have to be. OK, women will read this and believe etc etc. My old PA had hair extensions and plastic nails, she was 21 and devoted herself entirely to how she looked. She also judged other completely on their looks and their clothes. She was a sweet girl but the crap being drip fed her by the Mail turned her into a vapid shell, who looked just like every other sun-bed tanned vapid 'TOWIE' wannabe. It makes me sad and it makes me furious. And tomorrow I'm going to be asked how firms can work with the Mail and get good coverage...you can't is not an answer I can give altho it is the truth, as I see it.

People who just can't seem to have an appropriate amount of perspective about any given event/situation. Calling the police isn't the automatic answer to every thing that happens which is vaguely not right.

Businesses that advertise their hours as being open until 1700. I rock up at 1644 and they have a closed sign on the door, the lady was inside but mouthed the words "Closed" to me ffs!

I mean, it only takes about 3 mins to cut what little hair I have left. :-(
