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!

(Note to self. Stop putting links in all your posts. If that doesn't grind the thread's collective gears, it should).

My children shitting on about pudding with a half eaten first course in front of them. Then they cry. And I feel awful for not just giving them a hot cross bun and chucking their homemade Ragu in the bin. Argh
