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!

Someone wrote an email to me today containing the words "teh interweb", as if no-one had ever used those words before. Wow, how delightfully cutting-edge and zeitgeisty. Now, feck off back to your Hoxton hairdresser.

"Prostrate gland" and "I've got a gastric stomach" should, but they just make me smile a little bit.

the fact that on soaps they all live and work in the same street - they lose their job in the mini mart so they enquire in the lauderette or the cafe (ok i know it works better for the context of the programs but still!!!)
