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!

The description of Sir Phillip Green as an "Entrepreneur". We're talking about a man who bought a business for £250m took £164m out of it and sold it for £1.

Oh yes and Brexit campaigners waving flags of St George and missing the grand irony that St George was Turkish......

People who think they can text and walk without walking into other people. You can't. Just stop and do it.

Just a minor grizzle but when I were a lad you had a simple rule that concluded with Yours sincerely or Yours faithfully.

Now for some unknown reason we've got every shade of regards from unqualified "Regards" through "warm" "best" "kind" "kindest". Too random for my liking.

But more seriously. 4-way temporary traffic lights. Two directions have massive queues, one direction a few cars and the other has nothing, yet we all get 45 secs of green time.

Sir Greasy Spiv took a lot more than £164M out of BHS. And gave it tax free to his non-dom wife. Perfectly qualified to be an advisor to this government by the sound of things...

Am I allowed to say 'Major Tim Bloody Peake'. That loud thump isn't his re-entry to Earth, but the sound of him touching down after jumping the bloody shark. Bored of it now. Will he be back soon, or will we all have to hear about how he's supporting Andy Murray at Wimbledon, following the Euros etc etc etc....zzzzzzz

The obsession with only in the premiership blah blah. Only in the premiership could a mid table side with nothing to play for get a draw against a title chaser. Yeah, that has never happened anywhere else on the planet!

I had to use a search engine to check who Tim Peake was.
