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!

The trouble my TomTom watch has finding my watch when it's right bloody next to it, and how often it starts syncing and then just stops.

Totally agree with the TV coverage of children finding out how they faired in their exams. There are some out there who are not academic (and I'm not saying stupid either) for who this is now a difficult time for them.

I did OK in my O Levels but certainly preferred to have them posted to me instead of standing around in school comparing grades with my peers.

The prospect of local radio being full of sodding cricket all week because of Ben "one of our own" Stokes.

Apps that want access to everything - my identity, photos, you name it, they want it.

Morrison's, yesterday. Unable to make pizzas due to a non-delivery of pizza cheese. It is a supermarket with, as far as I could tell, ample supplies of both mozzarella and cheddar, the two named cheeses used.

(Yes, I'm sure it's "more complicated than that". But why should it be? I didn't actually want a pizza, it just seemed ludicrous.)

It's the cricket club end of season BBQ & junior awards this evening. I don't mind going, but I'd rather have my usual Friday evening pizza.

That I can't find supportive New Balance 7.5 2E width running shoes at a reasonable price anywhere, £107 the cheapest on offer.

(Dvorak I'm getting quite concerned about Morrisons - for weeks now when I've gone shopping their greengrocery section has been woefully understocked. Perhaps they're getting us ready for a no-deal Brexit :-( )
