Fun with party names

I hope you manage it......

 

In the early days of the internet I foresaw the massive potential of the internet. 

This was when only 'dial-up' was available and you paid for an ISP and paid per minute to the telephone company.

 

There was also only .com and .co.uk extensions available.

 

I registered a lot of company names in both formats and set a girl on to flog them to the companies.

Nobody was interested, they thought it was a passing fad.

 

But disastrously, I used a registrant who turned out to be a dodgy cnut.

On reflection, I should have been a registrant myself - it's simple enough but at the time, I didn't know enough.

 

I decided I would just sit on the names until the internet became more popular (or park the name as it is called)

 

But WTF............ the registrant charged me for 2 years subscriptions (including my own company name .co.uk and .com)

and I didn't know at that time you had to renew each year.

 

He didn't pay nominet for the 2nd year (and kept mine and probably thousands more peoples money)

and I lost the lot.

 

My name is on a lot of famous companies 'previous owners' register but I didn't get a penny :(
