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!

Shoddy design's what it is.

BTW, I should make it clear that I put my feet on the base, not the table. (People who do that in public also grind my gears.)

People that say 'I'm good ' when they mean 'no thanks'.

[One of my girls does that, Linds. I say, "I know you are, but would you like a cup of tea?"

Macca, I was just about to say that. T1 says "can I get" or "can I grab" despite knowing I find it teeth-grindingly incorrect and irritating.

Oh that 'Can I get...' :-( Son1's partner, who I really really like in every other respect, says this. If it were son1 I would have words. But since it's his partner, my gears are well and truly ground :-)
