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 who put up little signs in Ladies' loos saying things like:
"If you sprinkle
When you tinkle
Please be sweet
And wipe the seat"

Can't they just learn to hover like everyone else ... well, like 98% of women according to one survey, though I reckon only about 2% of women have strong enough quads ;)

(Actually, I agree with you, Puddington!)

People who finish my sentences when I'm speaking. If you're in so much of a hurry for me to finish, just turn your back and walk away please.

I do (not want to) actually do or barge them out the way shoulder to shoulder.

I don't get angry a lot mainly in cars, football fields, and travelling in general.

Oh and when Robbie Coltranes on TV
