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!

Following on from the same kind of thing. Youngsters who describe things they like as 'sick'. That grinds my gears.

Having to wait in a queue with the kids to use the computer.

(Fortunately, it doesn't tend to happen - they've learned to clear off it when they hear my footsteps on the garden path!)

I raise you Pebbles Diva (who will now be in her 20s), Queue-Shy (who will now be about 12 and pregnant), Odessa and Pilate. And Nijah, whose mum named him "Niger" for reasons of ancestral origin then realised, once the preggy-brain had lifted, that it was a very thoughtless thing to do to a little boy who was going to have to face the school playground one day.
