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!

Now we're in the off season for OC, I need something to amuse my head.

We were trying to think at home of what our "OC intro" would be if any of us were on the show. Has to be truthful, but OC-style.

The best in our house were:-
- This is XXXX, who once performed "Never going to give you up" to an audience which included Rick Astley's sister
- This is XXXX, who was once roundly condemned by a short editorial in The Sun

Any truths which you feel you want to share?

I used to enjoy MM but as I've got older I've got less and less interested in the specialist subject rounds as it feels like they've got narrower / more niche. The general knowledge is solid, though the first question always irritates me - far too easy.

And Mark from the Chase.

It felt really flat, I'm glad they've relaxed more into their idiosyncrasies!
