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 like choc ices and occasionally a piece of chocolate drops unknown onto my shirt and melts leaving a mess.

It usually lands on my shirt so it is essential to pick it up and eat it before it melts any more.

I don't know why it should melt so extremely quickly.

The continuing mangling of language. Today's case: some shallow food programme on itv now (positing more protein = better) stating that Starbucks' vegan breakfast burrito compares favourably with their chicken wrap. Protein amounts: 15g vs 18g. That's an UNFAVOURABLE comparison.

Whilst I'm on it, the increasing use of "a few" to apparently mean anything more than one. However many is "a few", it's not two. And probably not three.

Only just realising that IHG no longer offer discounted rates to England Athletics affiliated runners (I missed the notice in an earlier e-mail).
