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!

Architects. Is there a single architect who doesn't come across as a pretentious twat?

This ISME adverts. I don't believe Carol Vorderman has bought a £40 coat in decades.

Carol Vorderman's continued media presence when she was culpably complicit in the MMR fiasco. The likes of her seem to be teflon-coated and it properly pisses me off.

Oh, aye, proper little voice of wise authority on all things immunisation in those days, was Carol. It was just before she became an expert in detox and got between the covers with Anita Bean.

i love the way 'celebrities' can be come 'experts' on whatever takes their fancy and then the media take their pronouncements seriously just because they are celebrities.

in fact, something that grinds my gears!! :)

HR directors sending me snotty letters about my blog and the response of Fetchies to said blog, but miss-spelling my name. Unprofessional and incompetent.
