  1. this thread pretty much covers the life of a man, started well with hope and expectation, only to be dashed just when it got interesting and sent back to the drawing board, chin slumped into chest

     

    Haha, we'll see! I'm determined to find little crevices and cracks of revenue online...

  2. Ok, I couldn't help myself...

     

    I've just done the predictor again. I've envisaged Huddesfield only slipping up once, versus Millwall this friday (D 2-2).

     

    I've only had Charlton pick up 1 point from their next 3 (Norwich (H), Exeter (A), Leeds (H)...)

     

     

    By those calculations, the table of the final day would look like this:

    So, going into the last day we would have potentially shots at getting a playoff berth, assuming either one of those teams lose.

     

    The fixtures for the final day:

     

    Exeter v Huddersfield (Tisdale would wanna do us a favour despite nothing to play for, surely!?)

    Oldham v Charlton (Oldham safe.... Hmmmm)

    Saints v Southend (Southend just out of the drop zone - might still have a bit of fight left so could be difficult)

     

    Hmmmmm. Hmmmm. Damn Huddersfield clawing it back tonight.

     

    Disregard the goal difference - I put in Saints to win 3-0 v Carlisle when I really meant 1-0. So, only +41 ;)

  3. Slow down Lungs, you could be throwing your money away no matter how small a price you are paying.

    The .fr.mx etc etc is the easiest cases for them to win

     

    Oh crap. Really?

     

    Lol. Epic public fail.

     

    After all that excitement, too.

  4. Me too please, i've also thought about this before.

    Remember when saintsfc.co.uk expired and some religious society picked it up on the sly! :D

     

    LOL, thats quality!

     

    There is a few stories like that on the net... as I said, there is defo a list somewhere out there which lists domains that are about to drop off but I'm still trawling to find it.

     

    From what I gather, some people have had a bit of success with it though some have encountered conflicts with the original domain owners, the domain selllers and themselves, partly because the original domain owners and the domain purchaser almost simultaneously purchase/renew it...

  5. i bought the domain, and all variations, of a competitor about 10 years ago. he got the right arseache when he found out he couldnt register them. this angst was compounded when i charged him £1000 to release them to him. he's never forgiven me:D

     

    not sure what the potential is like these days though, i imagine its a fairly tight market?

     

    although there was the case a few months ago of one of the ftse companies forgetting to renew their domain, and a very eagle eyed punter snapped it up instantly. cost them £50k to get it back. and some people got the sack

     

    Yes, competition is pretty tight now but after the rather painstaking process of typing and retyping possible 'trend' domains into GoDaddy (there is a facility to search up to 500 domains at a time on there) I've come back with some pretty promising results. I've got 17 listed so far, I've bought one already and I'm just having going through a few more to take me up to 25.

     

    I'm then going to list them on sedo.co.uk or snapnames and see what they fetch. Might even park them, assuming I've read correctly that will enable the domain itself when parked offers services related to that domain name (for example, chocolatebottoms.com would link you to sites featuring chocolate and err, bottoms) and it is a small way of getting your investment back in pennies by people clicking them whilst you are auctioning the site.

     

    Anyway, I'm pretty new to this so I'm learning so don't take my word for it just yet!

     

    There is an interesting little possibility also with .mx names (mexico), and there are still plenty of domains going for what is predicted (on some forums) as a domain reg that is growing in popularity.

     

    Anyway, I've given all my secrets away now so happy domain purchasing :)

  6. I have often considered this, is there a website that lists the expiry dates of domains ?? List domain names for sale currently ?

     

    There is, somewhere, and if and when I find it, I'll PM you. :)

  7. Lol... just read this thread back!

     

    no problems, guys..

     

    I have just been wisely advised that it might be a good idea not to advertise it so publicly next time as it may be breaking a few rules (understandable, really!). Therefore as from Saturday onwards I'll have to operate it probably via PM. Still, feel free to distribute to other Saints if you do already know the logins... :)

  8. I once made £500 on one I purchased for £1.

     

    Well, I've just registered one in relation to my forthcoming iPhone application, got the domain valued it came up at around £5000 :-o

     

    Not that I'm going to sell it because I need it but I was still a little :-o

     

    Irrespective, been mashing domains together this afternoon and I'm ready to buy around 25 further domains with similar potential... Just wondered whether anyone else had any experiences or successes themselves?

     

    Some of the domains on sedo.co.uk are nothing special, but are going for fair old whacks...

  9. If you can just organise the subscription again for next year, that would be great.

     

    Thanks ;)

     

    Expires on the 17/4/2010, was about to re-register, funnily enough, even though I'm back in the UK and I'm in the Radio Solent region.

     

    Btw... no probs everyone, like I said, feel free :)

  10. Faaarking hell......

     

    That last 20 mins of Ep5 is as good as ANY war film I've ever seen. From the point when the landing craft comes out of the ship.....to the end of the episode is gripping gripping stuff. Im off to watch it again....

     

    To quote one of the Marines from the the start of the episode

     

    "It was a nightmare"

     

    That is exactly it... as soon as the landing craft is readied and ship opens it bowels and the music starts... damn, goosebumps.

     

    I was pretty 'meh' about TP but that 20 minutes alone has surpassed anything else I've ever seen of the same genre. Incredible.

     

    I'm off to watch it again after Saints :)

  11. Cheers for that St Landrew though I have to say that whilst this was the first time I've viewed the show, I found it atrocious.

     

    Even moreso because a club with no links to the football league or the show whatsoever other than they are being relegated to it was talked about more than almost all of the other regional clubs..

     

    ...but hey, what great fans they have, eh?

  12. "Tojo and f**k face"

     

    Lol, yes, that bit!! :D

     

    _________

     

     

    Ja-heeee-sus! Just finished Ep5, all I can say is the 2nd half.... bloody hell, in every sense of the word and the terminology.

  13. Well, having given some thought as to the language in schools idea, I definitely think it would be a really, really good move for children to be taught a second language in junior/primary as opposed to secondary school.

     

    Like benji says, I personally feel that at that I'd age I'd definitely be more enthusiastic about learning it but more importantly, and I refer to VFTT and ABTF's earlier posts here, that at that younger age, children do tend to absorb and learn much quicker.

     

    Secondary school had too many distractions for me, if I'm honest :)
