I have a friend who is an actor, wanted it for her, I said actress was dropping that day too and she seemed offended almost, guess I'm out of touch with some PC stuff

I'm travelling and offline the next 2 days, so I won't know what I get from today. (I'm on Mastermind and they're filming tomorrow.)

Domain Names...

I always wonder how far you can push your chosen specialised subject - 'the works of William Shakespeare - plays rhyming with bamlet'. or 'The history of Albert Einstein between April 17th 1955 and April 18th 1955' or even just 'My most impressive bogies'

'My most impressive bogies'

It's fine for the Guinness Book of Records, so it should be fine for Mastermind:

Does anyone know if cregisp accepts backorder requests? (and his/her contact details)

He did but there was a shut off date and only for select clients.

The owners of their .co.uk have had fair warning, a whole five years. A strong defence to owning the .uk, its a whole different matter if you try to pass off the .uk as the co.uk

If you have any problems with .co.uk holders, you may want to contact John Berryhill, johnberryhill.com , https://twitter.com/berryhillj?lang=en

He is the go to guy regarding domain disputes.

Assuming you've used him before and he looked after you?

Tbh I've always found IP / domain name lawyers the absolute pits. In two cases where lawyers served me a "without prejudice" they both lied, not just twisted the truth, but flat out concocted a right load of twoddle to try and make me out to be a crook in the hopes I would bend.

In three other cases where I retained the services of a lawyer...

One tried extortion
One wouldn't even confirm a point we discussed unless I paid him more
One used every argument in his response that I posited as to why a DRS would be unsuccessful. I seriously could have written the letter myself... without the typos. I look at it as though I simply paid (a lot) for the confidence of his name.

I wouldn't be surprised of it's the domain name lawyers who'll end up with the biggest windfall from .uk

Trying something new with the script to mix it up a bit.... As its the last day. It'll more than likely end in disaster...

Publicly, broadly yes, but you can reg them at some places, Crazy Domains is one.

Yes, still available to participating tag holders until the general coordinated release next week.

You could also try Acorn members, who are participating in the process.

I'm happy to help out any non tag holders.
