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 am old and technology is a wonder to me at times. With example.

I have just, via the internet, sent a message to my Sky box at home, telling it to record something. This will seem simple to you kids, but to me it is basically Star Trek, minus the cool transport beam sound effects.

So yeah, technology is a bit nuts, no?

It's black magic and no good will come of it. I'm getting my pitchfork ready.

A big plus for me is there is no need to watch adverts any more - I wait to start watching a programme 3 or 4 minutes late, then I can fast forward through all the commercials.

I'm sure the advertisers hate it..! :-)

I understand most technology, but am firmly of the opinion that something went wrong in the early 80s, with the invention of the mobile phone.
