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!

Builders thinking it's perfectly acceptable to start drilling and banging next door just because it's empty, at 7am for the last four bastard weeks.

Then being rude when asked to possibly start later.

Twats.

As it happens, we're all up by then anyway but that's far from the point.

How about 'really ticks you off'?

I love being British sometimes, it's so thoroughly pleasing.
