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!

Weather reporting (especially in the newspapers).

Bit of a cold snap: 'arctic blast batters Britain'
A bit of snow: 'blizzard'
A deepish low pressure system, with some wind and rain, like we get 30 or 40 times a year - and this is their new one: 'weather bomb'.
Bit of a warm spell 'hotter than.....' (select name of usually hot country and compare to the overnight temp)

Duchess. Does the use actually relate to the direction you intend to go?

LG. I agree, and then even worse if they dawdle and hold you up by driving like a moron.

I too drive an Audi perfectly responsibly. It's coming up to 150k miles now and has been a great bit of kit. I think the big problem nowadays is that Audi styling has become much more aggressive, which increases the 'perceived twattishness' index (and perhaps attracts the 'twat about town' into the showroom.)

Local Twuntmobile of Choice is currently the C**tRover Sport.

Sarrers, I'd widen that out to unnecessary hyperbole of all kinds; 'smashing the world record by 0.01 sec', 'I'm in absolute agony, but I'd like an appointment 3 weeks next Friday' and as you rightly say 'it's literally freezing out there' when the temperature is +5C even accounting for windchill. GRRRR!

My hands and feet. I've been home from my run for 45 minutes, I had gloves on the whole time, the fire is on, it is warm in here and yet my hands are still white, my nails are still purple and/or white nd I have pins and needles in both hands.
