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!

Hmm, happy to be called a fat git and would be even happier if someone thought I was skinny. Don’t quite see the need to change the title- but if anyone was seriously offended then we should accept that

I will remember that next time I see you RH :-P

Seriously though, I was asked to change it by someone who felt very uncomfortable with the negative language. I felt that the existing title implied people who were not drastically under- or over-weight, so I made a change that removed the terms 'skinny' and 'fat git'. If, collectively, you want to come up with an alternative title, then do please have a chat about it, and get back to me.

But this feels like bowing to pressure from one person who needs to man up for want of a better word and far too much of it going on in the world today........ This has really peed me off.

Absolutely! Might have a bit of time on your hands changing every possible thread title that might offend.

I’m offended by the unicorn thread, making light of my national animal in that way
