    Hi there
    Thought i'd be different and use the original greeting Graham Alexander Bell used in the first electronic communication, which sadly got wiped out by the American "Hello"...

    Ok...so i'm a bit of a tangent minded guitar bloke who does web stuff and have been doing since around 1996.

    I'm a domain name hoarder, which drives my wife potty.

    Worst name i ever bought had to be kisdiy.co.uk for my father in law, who had intentions of setting up a DIY site, (Keep It Simple Do It Yourself). Needless to say, the site never got finished, due to his constant demands for changes, and due to him finding a new hobby in wine tasting and drinking, and falling over from aforementioned wine tasting..)

    The best name I owned I can't talk about for legal reasons, but it made me a ton of quids, but i suppose my next best is www.food-order.co.uk. I had plans to use it for my sandwich shop, but I've never had time.

    Like i said i'm a guitar teacher and run a music school too www.rock-school.co.uk (which is actually a brill name too, for us).

    I dabble and sometimes come across the odd gem, which i'll sell on and make some cash to buy new guitars with.

    Domains i wouldn't mind trading/exchanging:-

    www.food-order.co.uk

    So if you've got owt I might be interested in giz an email/PM and i'll get back to you.

    Thanks for reading
    Ricky

    Yep, nice introduction and welcome to the forum.

    I would get rid of the '---review' domain you have due to it containing a trademark though.

    review site

    Thanks chaps :)

    The review site, was a "fansite" deal for a band I was putting together...the Q refers to frequencies.

    I had some issues a few years ago with a well known brand of portable gas for heaters. I sometimes skirt close to the edge, sometimes it pays, sometimes it doesn't...Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I've since discovered a few ways to make sure i'm safe with these things ;)

    Welcome, nice to see someone putting in the effort and hopefully you will stick around ;)

    That B and Q one is screaming DRS at me, I wouldn't put anything on it relating to DIY/tools especially with it being about reviews I think the store would really frown upon it, you say you know what you're doing so good luck 8)

    Welcome and that is a great introduction, you obviously have some solid experience in domaining. I am fairly new so unable to bring anything to the party yet but can definately confirm this is a great place to be with many helpful members.

    I find that hard to believe, especially considering how you have formatted the description of the domain as "B&Q review site" in your original post and not "Band Q review site". :)

    Bugger! Can't believe i did that *slaps head*. Just edited it, and since then i've unchecked renewal status, so when it expires it's up for grabs...it served a purpose for me ;)

    Welcome Ricky

    Would love to know what 'best name I owned' is, never mind great introduction.
