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 EasyJet flights were particularly egregious to and from Morocco because they spent most of the time trying to sell you booze and fags.

Most times that me and Liebling are on a train, your dislike of train announcements comes up. I've learnt to develop that hatred too now. It's quite bad on the GWR ones but I reckon Thameslink have overtaken them for continual announcements. We got "If you see something that doesn't look right tell staff or contact British Transport Police on 61016. We'll sort it. See it. Say it. Sorted." three times on the trot, i.e. a second after the 'sorted' it kicked off with 'If you see something...' again.

Thameslink see it as their duty to provide some kind of entertainment because the wifi is never working.

Journalism like this (from the BBC):
Miranda Harris, 66, Chris Naylor, 58, and Mr Naylor's wife Susanna, 54, died in the crash in Port Elizabeth on Monday, the Christian charity A Rocha International confirmed.

Fuck right off with calling Susanna "Mr Naylor's wife". They'd never write:
Miranda Harris, 66, Susanna Naylor, 54 and Mrs Naylor's husband Chris, 58...

Why not:
Miranda Harris, 66, Chris Naylor, 58 and Susanna Naylor, 54.

If entirely necessary, you could mention that the Naylors are married to each other separately. Gets my wick that the woman is the wife, and therefore possession of, the man (in the way that it is written).

Hallowe'en. Parents encouraging young children to be stupid up here during the latter part of the afternoon. Then, this evening, I was down in West Sussex to witness hoards of adolescents pratting around.
