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!

When I'm looking in a cupboard for something that is always in there, I ask my wife if she's seen it, and all she does is look in the cupboard I've already looked in. (Though what I hate even more is when she then finds that item in that cupboard!!!)

What's the relevance of biting a medal? Not sure I've really noticed it before.

I feel like it started with Nadal. He always bites trophies when he wins, going back years.

+1 for medal biting. It probably started with medal kissing and the press wanted more.

I still think they look like chocolate medals from Christmas... I can understand that a winner needs to check they haven't been duped!

Not sure if I've mentioned it before ... round about this time of year (in fact TODAY here in Scotland) the TV news coverage of school kids getting their exam results. Who tf cares about this except the kids and their families ? It's not national news. Plus they're always interviewing people who've "done better than expected". Fuck that ... if I've got to hear from them at all I want to hear from the guy who expected 5 As but failed everything !
