Ahoy there!

[RickofRock]

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".

Ooops!

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.

Hope you enjoy the forum, I always do.

Great introduction. Welcome!

 

[Marcoose]

Perhaps the best intro yet - none of this "I'm new - hello!" bs. Five Stars!

Yes, a great intro. Welcome to the Acorn - I'm sure you're going to enjoy it here
