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!

The "if you've been coughing for three weeks you've got cancer, see your doctor NOWNOWNOWNOWNOW!!!!!!!" advert has been superseded in these parts by a leaflet-through-the-door campaign that says that if you burp you've got cancer of the oesophagus. I am seeing a lot of worried flatulents :(

My goodness, V, I burped (discreetly of course) earlier this evening and put it down to having eaten about 50g of wasabi peanuts. Should I make an appointment with my doctor or shall I just turn up at your surgery? Your receptionist will squeeze me in, surely? I have a whole list of things I can ask you about, especially if I arrive just about 5 mins before closing time :-)

Andy Townsend comments room on any football match but especially the Bayern v Arsenal
One I've just sat through. Appallingly biased and idiotic to boot. Get rid of him!
