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!

MAHLlig is the correct pronunciation though. it's us ignorant English speakers who have been getting it wrong. (I used to work beside a woman from Mallaig who put me right on this. She had such a lovely voice.)

Get in there Oyster! Anarchy!

My annoyance of today: Blokes in gym changing rooms who have to have REALLY LOUD conversations. Although I'm not sure whether today's was an actual conversation, as it just seemed to consist of the words 'Yeah', 'fucking', 'innit and 'right' repeated in some sort of random order. Maybe it's some sort of clever code?

You give your name when answering the phone and the caller still asks 'Can I speak to [your name]?' just because they don't listen.
