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!

I'm with WR on this one. People making out that I'm unsociable becuae I don't do social media, or implying that it is the only way to keep in touch.

Here's another one that's been doing my nut in recently. You watch a show like Pointless for example. Contestants gives an answer. Everyone claps INCL THE CONTESTANTS WHO GAVE THE ANSWER. Why are you clapping for yourselves ? ... twats ! I swear it ... my fuse is definitely getting shorter by the day.

When people answer a question in a quiz and the host say good guess but no the answer is.... If it's the wrong answer then it was shit fucking guess.

On the same theme - although I've not watched for a few years - Noel Edmonds on Deal or No Deal - "You're playing a shrewd game". No you're not. You are opening boxes at random and trying to not get greedy. There is zero skill there...

And who would have thought you could make a 30 minute program out of opening a load of random boxes.

Agree there JK. The whole show could be over in 5 minutes. Noel Edmonds surprisingly doesn't grind my gears.

Noel Edmonds exceedingly grinds my gears. He filmed two "gotchas" at a place near to where I lived, where a lot of my friends worked. Suffice it to say he didn't endear himself to any of the staff, and the management declined to ever allow him back.

Idio - I believe it is on for an hour actually... The opening of boxes takes about 5 minutes, the adverts are about 15 minutes - which leaves 40 minutes for sob story, tears, and bollocks about pilgrims, fate, skill, etc.

Life is grinding my gears today. I had to leave the flat today and I'm in the foulest mood.
