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 say "We are where we are" and people who say "t'was ever thus". People who say both should be slapped regularly.

People in supermarkets with their kids standing in trolleys. Hey, my foods going in there and you never know where your kids have been standing ... or what they've been standing in !

There's usually a wee "no kids standing in trolleys" icon on the handle too ... why don't store managers pull them up about it ?

People who just generally fanny about. They pop up everywhere, getting in the way, slowing things down. Come the revolution 'fannying about' is going to be on the statute books as a crime.

Also stupidly long labels on clothes, always irritate you when you can't do anything about them - you vow, on pain of death, to cut the bloody thing off then forget until the next time you wear them and they irritate the fuck out of you.

One day I should just go through my bloody wardrobe and cut every label off, I never read the bloody things anyway....
