It's a funny old game

I left campervanrental.uk to drop today, I wasn't expecting anyone to bother catching it, but it was caught by the tag that owned campervanrental.co.uk which was also dropping today, I had the .co.uk loaded but was expecting them to renew it after catching the .uk, but they didn't renew it

and I caught that one, catching is a funny old game

Probably they didn't realise it was going to drop - a bit like the squad.co.uk owner who, after it dropped, went and renewed everything else on his tag due to drop that day immediately after

It happens - I've lost a couple that way due to forgetting renewal dates.

If you're loading a .uk, you'd expect that someone would at least check to see who owns the .co.uk, and realise you own it

Maybe they think .uk are going to be top dog after 2019 and decided to let the .co.uk go, we'll never know.

I did email Invincible about the squad name, had seen him leave some names to drop recently so thought he was having a clear out, so I asked if he was looking for a swap on a name he made me an offer for last year, saw he renewed them shortly after, if he'd seen my email roughly 25 minutes earlier he could have renewed squad before it dropped, ouch.
