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!

Nigel fucking Farage. Just when you thought he couldn't possibly be more of a twat, he proves it's possible.

Cricket, I believe.

Girls who wear thick black tights and beige or white court shoes. Go and buy some black shoes or neutral tights.

Gambling adverts making out that appallingly rude/borderline addiction actions such as ignoring people around you or jumping under a table to place bets is normal and acceptable behaviour if you enjoy betting.

And just the sheer number of gambling ad's on T.V, especially when watching sports.

Signs that tell you not to do something, but don't tell you why. They'd be way more effective if they said why as well, so that people understood the consequences of the instruction.

For example:
Do not flush paper towels down the toilet.

People might think 'Why not? They're just like loo paper, only thicker'

Whereas if you said the above and 'Paper towels do not disintegrate and therefore block the toilet' then people might be more inclined to pay attention to the sign.

Dear Nicola Sturgeon, the word you're looking for is "Scottish" not "Scorrish". Now don't let me hear you at it again !
