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!

People who walk (or run) on the grassy shoulder of a stoney path. Presumably because they don't like the rough stones under their delicate feet.

Look, the path is currently a 6 foot wide scar across the fell side, would you prefer it to be an 8 foot scar? A 10 foot scar? Just walk on the f***ing stones. Or stay at home!

When colleague #1 says "I'm going early today, I've booked a massage at 3" and then colleague #2 says "I'm going early today, I've booked a blood test at 3". And that leaves just me, at the end of the day when it gets busy. And they sit next to each other all day every day and can't manage to discuss which day one needs to go early and avoid the day the other is going early. FFS.

the whole ITV world cup team has been crap, Townsend worst by a distance - but "experts" who have a limited grasp of English (Cannavaro, Juninho) and Chiles with his "laddish humour" are rubbish too.

The fecking government and their repressive policies and actions - and, as someone very recently said, their habit of shining a torch on the chickens whilst conveniently ignoring the foxes....(the "snoopers' charter" vs the Establishment investigation an alleged Establishment cover-up). Oh, and the craven knee-jerk responses of the other party leaders in agreeing in principle to a rushed timetable.

Football on ITV is like watching the game with blokes down the pub. At least you get some common sense with the BBC even if it's old school.

To demonstrate how stupid ITV are, remember the opening night and the demo that took place outside the studio along Copacabana beach? A colleague of mine (who's other half is Brazilian) said that the demo was primarily about a number of poor people's homes that were demolished along that stretch to accommodate the TV studios. The crowd were more or less stating, 'that's where my home was.' Adrian Chiles went out to see the crowd (from a distance) and called, 'it's not our fault, is it!' Enough said!
