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!

People opening bottles of fucking Prosecco in the fucking quiet carriage. It’s a train not a fucking bar, go to the pub if you want to get pissed at 11am instead of annoying me trying to work

People who have kids, then seem to spend the rest of their lives making every effort to get away from them.

Radio 4 presenters and Sajid Javid giving the word "lure" three syllables - "lee-yew-wer" - instead of one.

That could be said for a number of sports. As a football referee, I once had to go over to a linesman to confirm whether the ball had crossed the line for a goal. Apparently it had but he was so lethargic and his signal unclear I really could not tell.
