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!

oooh and Grammar police.

It's like every time you make a mistake in life you get jumped on by people who clearly have never made a mistake ever.

Actually any self policing get's me. The next person who pulls me up on a mistake I make, I will follow you for the rest of your life and if you ever so much as cross a road before the green man flashes, forget to indicate, spell a word wrong or forget to put in a single comma in the right place I will be on you like a ton of bricks.

Everyone chill out. Humph!

[Miscapitalisation of either "Grammar" or "police". And a misplaced apostrophe.]

[Although since you are below 100 posts I should not have pointed that out. Hopefully you will be suitably chilled about it.]

Unnecessary use of full stop and capitalisation and starting a sentence with "And".

Sentence should read [Miscapitalisation of either "Grammar" or "police" and a misplaced apostrophe.]

See what you've started now. I did warn you. :-)

Use of square brackets where quote marks are required.

I agree, but I could have been here all day. Do you mean "The use of square brackets where quote marks are required." or did you mean to start halfway through a sentence. Can we all just stop it now.
