2018.. a lesson maybe?

I have been debating whether to register 2018.org.uk for about 6 months because UK world cup (maybe) is so far in the future.

I thought a 2018 footy type campaign fits the extension quite well so would have made a nice site for the government, tickets, kit etc, etc.

I finally thought right lets 'ave it and you guessed it - its been reg'd!

here i am spending £,£££'s on domains an yet still can't bring myself to punt £6 - what a mong lesson learned!?

I predict that by 2018, though, domains won't have the same importance as they have today...

First time young buyers will find it hard to get morgages on the domain names and the bubble will burst.
