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!

And never again, or anything else of that ilk.

When younger I did read the Dick Francis novel several times. Mary did a great job on the research.

I rather like Dick Francis. Formulaic, sure, but well played out each time and a good entertaining non-strenous read.
The Reality Dysfunction, on the other hand, was the book that made me say 'no more Hamilton' and mean it.

The Dick Francis are quite enjoyable, and well done, but very similar, especially the male protagonist in each one.

McG - The man I was sitting next to on the train this morning was reading The Ministry of Fear, and I wanted to ask him how he was liking it but, being English and all that, I didn't. When are you going to read it so I can ask you?
