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 WiFi router is in the hall. The laptop is typically in the lounge or dining room. I know it's the laptop at fault as other devices continue to function. I suspect the laptop has a crappy internal wireless card.

People who send their kid to school with a stupid haircut and then complain to the press when said kid gets sent home.

Dio, any idea what the wireless card is? Mine did that for a long time (has a Centrino N-2230); I think reinstalling the driver fixed it in the end.

Toilet paper holders that are really difficult to get the paper out of, you just end up making confetti.

I never peel mushrooms now.

Although ... on the few occasions that I did, I found it v satisfying.

Websites that have particular password requirements (capital letters, numbers etc) but don't tell you that until after you've tried to set up a password.
