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!

Pogs vs Tamagotchi

One of the Cubs had a proper cry when we confiscated his Tamagotchi one meeting - "But, it'll die" he sobbed. It didn't, and we didn't care. That kid will be in his 30s now. Bet he's still a wuss...

I'd left college by the time the Rubiks cube came along.

Gonks and trolls were a thing, IIRC.
