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!

Was going to say the correct action was probably to boot him into a bush, and run of shouting about how you do what you feel is right.

He doesn't know it, but I crushed him in performance terms. That will have to do for now, comrades.

I want to do Battersea at some point, not soon though. A lot of comments I read said it was quite chaotic today.

No surprise that it was chaos. Most events never get close to that number and have years to get established.

Called it. The talk has always been that Battersea would get very big very quickly. I saw talk on social media yesterday that the event is currently on a trial period and there will be a review in 6 months or less. I don't know if that's true or not but it sounds credible.
