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!

Blokes who are unable to go to the gym without their I-phones - and then have to check it between EVERY set of reps. FFS.

John Inverdale....Rugby Union presenter on BBC.

Very very anglocentric...eg Ireland played Scotland last Sun...Inverdale came out again with "what are England going to make of this?" eh? England played the day before!! same as Wales France and Italy! Dont think he realises the BBC is shown in the Celtic Nations as well! His xenophobia is subtle but its still xenophobia

Also he looks a bit sinister.. Like Michael Howard there is "something of the night"about him.

Unfair pupil funding in schools. The Local Authority I work in gets one of the lowest per pupil fundings in the country. Our school budget is substantially lower than schools in other local authories with the same munber of pupils. By at least 25%. And we are still expected to get the good/outstanding progress but with fewer teachers and other resources.

The fact that the so called Badger Cull has cost around £4,000 per dead Badger. The cost of vaccinating a cow against Bovine TB is £3 per cow. The cost of vaccinating Badgers (including trapping albeit by volunteers) is - wait for it - not just yet - 30p. Yes folks 30p.

As they say - go figure....

But the people who pocket the £4000 / don't spend the £3 are probably all conservative voters. Which grinds my gears to the extent it's true.

Umbrellas. Especially umbrellas being carried in high winds, on very crowded pavements.

Also, people in London who are too fucking lazy to walk during the tube strike and take up the entire pavement while waiting for an overcrowded bus that will only get stuck in traffic anyway.
