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!

Really? Who else?

There was a thread somewhere but I couldn't find it and just needed a rant. Then I needed to rant more so blogged it :-)

Tossers who ring you at home in the evening to discuss double glazing. Fuck off.

Telephone Preference Service works wonders for the salesmen. You get fewer calls, but should you still get a sales call, you just have to mention that you registered with the TPS and they start apologising straight away and hang up.

Do the Mail Preference Service at the same time, and you'll probably save about a sackload of mail each week too. I know I did.

People who bounce threads that are nearly a year old for no reason at all, or to just to let everyone know they get wound up by people who bounce threads that are nearly a year old for no reason at all.

People that spot that people have bounced threads and just *have* to put their two kronor's worth in.

People who have indirect conversations within bounced threads about things that wind people up.
