I’m A Celebrity…Ramblings

9

I don’t watch ITV’s “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Here” but was channel hopping tonight and caught it for a bit and felt compelled to make some observations.
Dani Behr is gorgeous. Simply lush.
What is Martina Navratilova doing in there? She’s arguably the best female tennis player ever. Surely she doesn’t need the publicity?
Likewise why is [...]

Stuff

3

Stuff is a great word isn’t it? I use it loads to describe all sorts of…well stuff.
In this case though it means a collection of news and tidbits that I’ve been reading/thinking about and pondering over the last few days…
I was very glad to see Jeremy Clarkson and co. on this week’s Top Gear agree [...]

Strawberry Revels replace Coffee Revels - the world has gone mad. Vote for your favourite here

28

First the Jonathan and Russell fiasco, now further evidence that the world has gone stark raving bonkers.
After eating healthy for a few days now I decided I deserved a treat in the form of a little bit of chocolate to ease my craving. So I headed to the shop, picked up a bag of my [...]

Jonathan Ross & Russell Brand’s “offensive” call to Andrew Sachs - is it a slow news day?

22

I was going to blog about this yesterday but thought, no it’ll blow over soon, it must be a slow news day. How wrong I was. Today we have Gordon Brown and David Cameron appearing on TV and in the press giving their opinions on the whole debacle. Seriously, have our leaders got nothing better [...]

Stupid domain names

15

Domain names can be a bit like babies, you may think your son/daughter is the most beautiful baby in the world, when others just see a hairless chimpanzee.You may think your nice semi generic domain is the best thing in the world and worth £500k easily. Others will offer you £10.
But really, I mean really [...]

The big bad A4U Expo wrapup post

16

I got back yesterday afternoon absolutely shattered from the 2nd annual A4U Expo at the Excel in Docklands, London. It is only now a day later that I feel mentally fit enough to switch on the PC and write down my thoughts. It wasn’t the 3 parties over 3 nights that has left me exhausted, [...]

Grab a bargain - CompareCameras.co.uk

14

I’ve noticed a few domain names selling for way below their market value lately, well I certainly think they were good purchases. For example:
Competitions.co.uk - £5.5k
Directors.co.uk - £3k
Promotions.co.uk - £2650
Pcs.co.uk - £5k
All of the above were absolute bargains I believe, especially competitions.co.uk which will make a return staright away based purely in type-in traffic.
Anyway I [...]

Cold Is The New Hot

Has anyone seen the TV ads, billboards and press ads stating that “Cold Is The New Hot”? That’s pretty much all the ads say apart from telling us to visit ColdIsTheNewHot.com on October 1st and all will be revealed
At the time of writing, the site is just a landing page with a countdown [...]

Nice one Nominet!

7

I sold a .uk domain name for the first time in a while last week and I was very pleasantly surprised at how easy Nominet have now made it to transfer domains away.
In the “old” days you had to complete a paper transfer form and write a covering letter and send a cheque in order [...]

I got this email yeterday from Chris Applegate at London based “digital agency” OutsideLine.co.uk.
Chris Applegate wrote:
