Wandering around the internet late of an evening is a well documented affiliate malaise. On many an occasion we are struck by a blinding bit of inspiration in the wee small hours. Unfortunately, in my case this inspiration is sometimes driven on by a bottle of wine and ten large whiskies.
Sometimes I find domains in my account I don’t remember putting there! A quick spot of private detectoring usually reveals that the registration date took place the night before I suffered an inexplicably terrible hangover.
I’m going to list some of these mystery domains here, as well as the reasons and inspiration I can either remember or pieced together afterwards after thoroughly questioning witnesses who were present at the time I lept up off the sofa and crashed off in the direction of my home office at 2am.
bikinitrimmers.co.uk - This was as a result of a frank conversation with one of my best friends regarding personal grooming and how women like ordering these kind of products anonymously. It’s probably not a bad domain, I’ve just never gotten round to developing it. I can actually remember registering this one.
boyfiends.co.uk and girlfiends.co.uk - Another girls night in. I believe the theme of the evening was “all men are bastards”. My idea was one of them grass your ex in type affairs. The female domain was registered after a grudging consensus was reached in the room that some girls could be total bastards as well.
diyhell.co.uk and diyhell.com - Drinks were taken by myself and the other half after a particularly protracted bout of DIY which involved him stripping 57 layers of highly toxic paint off the hall and livingroom in my Victorian flat. Apparently I burst into our (by then well appointed) livingroom after a somewhat lengthy trip to the toilet and announced my great new site idea plus domain names.
howtoluciddream.net - I wasn’t drunk when I bought this one, I couldn’t sleep! Tantamount to the same thing as it transpires, as I “found” this domain name some weeks later. I used to be plagued with the most awful nightmares so I now remember that I decided to write an online blog type thing documenting my attempts to get the bad men in my dreams under control.
leglove.co.uk - Another great post-chardonnay idea. This was actually for a site about hosiery until my friends sniggeringly pointed out that it looked more like the name of a fetish site. I’m not quite ready to explore that world, so it will be idling in my account for some time to come!
Pashpoints.com - my very favourite half-cocked idea. A sex toy reward points site. Buy all your naughty stuff though us toys, lingerie, adult dating, etc… and get points towards naughty prizes. I decline to comment on the topic of conversation in my livingroom that evening, but I vaguely remember it all being very funny at the time.
I bet others have registered worse than I, and to be frank the above does not represent full disclosure. There are one or two I fear might ruin my reputation for life, lol!
Anyone else care to share some 3am domain examples?

You certainly paint a vivid picture here Kirsty….:)
“after a somewhat lengthy trip to the toilet and announced….”
June 26th, 2007 at 1:59 pm
A classic thread. All I am saying is ‘Moldovian Clog Dancing’
As for 3am examples - “midgetdwarfporn.com” politically incorrect, however you can fit twice as much porn on your hard drive…. apparently.
OK…. lets get real here. I can honestly say that I have never bought a domain name drunk. This is just as well, because some of the domains I have bought while sober are frightening enough!
Please share the topic of conversation regarding Pashpoints.com
June 26th, 2007 at 2:40 pm
Ah come on now lads, I know you’ve registered them… you’re just not saying, are you? “FearAndBoakingInLasVegas.com” would be a good one for you now Chris.
I always paint a vivid picture of life Kieron. That’s why it’s never a good idea to give me more than ten drinks in polite company, lol.
The topic of conversation regarding PashPoints.com cannot be shared unless you manage to get me too drunk not to answer truthfully. Given I genuinely can drink a bottle of wine and ten large whiskies and then see myself home, I suggest you try it at a free bar someplace?!

Hehe funny article, yeah i’ve got a couple of names that were definate moments of madness. I wish I could blame alcohol for all of them though
June 27th, 2007 at 9:44 am
It’s not always alcohol… I’ve got heaps more crap ones I didn’t drink the EU wine mountain to register.
To be balanced I’ve registered some crackers when drunk too!
Buycheapsatellite.co.uk
buykidstoys.co.uk
buyscubagear.co.uk
Have I developed them? Of course not!!

Excellent. Many a good domain can be found when under the influence. That’s almost how I got a really decent domain one time whilst taking Co-Codamol for back pain.
I think it’s time for a bottle of something to get the creative juices flowing and find some more classic domain names.
June 27th, 2007 at 2:30 pm
Already there… its wine PM on the luxurious side of the world!

I checked my domain name list and there’s nothing especially amusing there now so obviously I’ve progressed to the “getting too hammered too quick to order a domain name” phase.
Then I checked my iTunes account and realised what it is I do when I’ve had a few jars and get home still feeling sober enough to operate high-tech equipment. Journey - Don’t Stop Believing? Enya? Dire Straits?
And I used to think I was such a cool indie kid at school….

Hi Kirsty, greetings from indonesia, i really enjoy reading your blog, hopefully i could learn a lot from you.
August 9th, 2007 at 1:22 am
I’ve long let it lapse, but a few years ago I (pissed) registered funeralsrus.co.uk - Quite what the feck I thought I’d do with it I have no idea.
I don’t even know how to use a shovel without causing myself injury.
August 9th, 2007 at 3:01 am
Fox, that my dear chap is a total cracker!

We have all done that, thanks for sharing.
If you are looking for some decent .co.uk names to buy or sell, head over to acorndomains.co.uk

[...] Domains I’ve Bought Whilst Drunk pale in comparison to some of Jeremy’s bloopers! Well, except my idea for a sex toy reward [...]

Hi Kirsty
I can certainly relate to this post ‘coz I’ve just come in from the pub and I’m thinking of registering ‘pissedperspective.com’. If any of you guys register it before me and make your millions, I hope you remembre where it came from!
Cheers
Jeff
