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 counter thus by applying the rule that they don't get lunch until they are dressed. That grinds their gears.

It's a teenage thing - Mini often doesn't bother getting dressed at weekends if she's not going anywhere. I'm not fussed - "pick your battles" and all that.

Comfy clothes win if I'm not leaving the flat ;) Sorry, I'm firmly on the side of the young ladies in this one ;)

However, being woken up at 7:30am to my housemate playing Toni bloody Braxton's "Unbreak My Heart" dirge has ground down my last gear. He's now been exiled to the balcony to give me a little bit of well-earned peace and quiet...

Trifle - a waste of good jelly, tinned fruit, custard and possibly sherry.

Agree with Portugal, who should have left the party two weeks ago after finishing third. What next? A 32-team World Cup/Euros with no group stage elimination, so that every team takes part in a 'round of 32' knockout? The Scots might back that idea!
