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 worked with a Russel Bush [see H on previous page]. Nobody seemed to think it was a stupid name apart from me.

Still work with a Borka Price which amuses me, especially during literary awards season.

Not quite the same, but I once met a guy who had legally changed his name to Sidney Harbour-Bridge.

Just had an email from Norton wanting to do an automatic renewal at £124.99!!!!!!!!! Went into our account and found that it was £119.99 to renew. I removed our credit card details so it wouldn't renew while I looked into it and I now have an offer for £44.99. Went on to live chat with an agent to try to get clarification and he basically said yes, you can pay £124.99 or £119.99 or £44.99 for the same thing.

Definitely don't understand that one!

If I type three full-stops into a spreadsheet, it comes out like a flower with a curly stem and three curly petals.

minardi You can typically get anti virus software, including Norton, for much less than £45 a year if you shop around. The auto renew figures are ridiculous, and prey on those who just aren’t paying attention. I personally just use the protection built in to Windows 10, but would definitely not pay more than £20 for a year’s subscription to a third party product.
I buy Microsoft 365 from Argos when it is on offer, and it comes with a year’s worth of McAfee Total Security (which I then sell, as it is surplus to my own requirements and recoups some of my spend).

minardi you’re welcome 🙂
Incidentally, the Argos deal isn’t on right now, but periodically drops to £49.99, if you wanted to bookmark it (https://www.argos.co.uk/product/8837505).

Giraffes. Or more specifically the tails thereof. They are, to my eye, rubbish.
