I'm curious how many names you drop catch (as in "successfully catch for yourself, or have caught on your behalf") in an average month. I'm sure it will vary depending on upcoming drops and luck, but I'm sure even a ballpark would be interesting...

On a "slow" month I probably catch 30 names and on a busy month it can hit 60-70 names at the top end.
 
are you asking purely about .uk domains?
as i catch far more other extensions myself or on backorder etc

for .uk on a slow month maybe 4, at most 12
other extensions put a zero on that
 
Would you count an uncontested hand registered domain, on the drop day?

Theoretically its a drop, but no one else wanted it or knew about it (the removal or need for an automated system).
