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!

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Because doctors are always coming round to your house being controlling about what you eat.

One is the loneliest number.

It's a mathematical construct and so therefore cannot have feelings.

[Probably should be on that other thread, but until embarrassingly recently I didn't realise that proverbs come from the Old Testament of the Bible 🤦‍♀️].

I don't think any of the proverbs mentioned here come from the book of Proverbs!
