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!

What do you know today, that you did not yesterday?

That the website britishwildlife.com has a page called "how to identify British bats in flight" - and it describes habits of different bat species but really doesn't live up to its billing.

That Aurotune (bloody Autotune grrr!) wasnever intended to be used on vocals at all. The software was created by Exxon engineer Andy Hildebrand accidentally, when he was attempting to develop a way to interpret complicated seismic data.

There is a sign outside my house - right beside the garden fence that runs alongside the pavement - that says No Ball Games. First time I've noticed it, and we've been here more than five years :-O

I found it while pruning the pesky creeper that we inherited with the house.

I left the bit of creeper alongside the sign unpruned, because we live in a place where kids play out in the street and I don't think it's reasonable to discourage them from playing football or road tennis. And they don't take any notice anyway, because we're forever retrieving balls or telling the kids that it's OK to go into our back garden to get their ball back without asking.
