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!

Television in the morning. Especially when the person who insists on having it on is as deaf as a doughnut and has his head behing the Daily Expess.

When I lived with a BF, I hated television in the morning. I used to hang out in the kitchen with 6Music and my breakfast.

People texting/facebooking etc while walking, particularly through a crowded station in rush hour - no I am not going to get out of your way, and the next person who tuts at me because I didn't leap out of their way might just find themselves in A&E waiting to have their mobile device surgically removed.

The TV licensing authorities who assume that everyone in the world must have a TV and continues, 15 years after I last owned one, to pursue me.

FFS which part of I DONT HAVE A TV don't you understand??

Ah well at least I have the comfort of knowing that if I don't have a license I'm not paying for the completely pointless paperchase...

I found them a bit menacing when I emailed to let them know I didn't have a tele. Threats of visiting to check and a long list of terrible things that'll happen if I suddenly acquire one and don't remember to get a licence.

They came to check once, and for a while the letters stopped. They just as suddenly started again. I just chuck 'em away now. They had enough trouble finding the place last time. Its just the complete waste of money that annoys me....

T'would annoy me too. They seem to've taken my word for it so far and it took them 3 years to bother me.
