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!

Here's my favourite bugbears.

Use of apostrophe's to signify plurals;
People who forget that you need to pay to buy stuff in a supermarket and wait.................until it's all been rung up............before looking.....................for.................the.....purse;
Scientists who prove that food additives cause kids to go bonkers;
Walkers, who although already three abreast, look back and hold hands when I'm coming;
The bloke in a mini that called me a bat fastard;
Charvers;
JJB Sports- thy have decent kit, but hide it behind other stuff;
Gary Lineker and the "Match of the Day" team;
The man in the street;
Entrants in Cancer Research 10k races who get in my way because they haven't trained and dowalk-sprint-walk-sprint...;.

I hate you all!

Goodbye!

Strictly speaking Pud, I'm a southerner, but six years in the north of the East of England means that I've shortened my vowels and picked up the vernacular. Thing is, I grew up in the town that invented the word "chav".

Coat hangers. Those skinny metal ones that get all tangled up with each other.

The word 'granularity' being used instead of the word 'detail'.

No, it doesn't make me think you are smart or knowledgeable. It just reminds me of sugar. Thank you.
