This is a question Biggest opportunity I've blown

Not Alan Partridge tells us: "I was once offered the chance to co-present a programme on national radio. Audience of millions, but blew up spectacularly, my entire contribution being the rustling of paper in the background. I was that bad, I have since burned my copy of the pilot show." Tell us about your big break, and how you messed it up.

Hahahayeah. Loads of people bought islands by sitting on trademark domain names.
Wait ... I don't mean loads of people, do I? I mean absolutely nobody ever. You dick.

Oi, Doc! Shams! Shamboooooooooo!
Go on, tell us about the time you missed the opportunity to punch someone in their worthless wordy throat for a post they made on QOTW.

Oh no, wait....That didn't happen, did it? EVER.

Thanks shambolic internet sage, you've set my tortured mind at rest.

if you'd been a couple of years earlier and registered a bunch of two or three letter .coms you could be driving your Ferrari off the back of your yacht into Monte Carlo
but that's like saying 'oh if I'd bought Microsoft shares at threepence each ...'

Your recent edit to add 'trademark'
'Nestle' is a common word ('Nestlé' is the trademarked name), 'Mars' a planet and 'nurse' a job description. I'd have been well within my rights to register any of them. Remember 'apple.co.uk'? That was owned by the illustration agency until the computer company recently made them an offer sufficiently generous to persuade them to relinquish it.

Yeah, that offer went along the lines of "give us it or we'll bankrupt you with a frivolous lawsuit that we can afford to drag out for years."

Not bad, but if you can't simultaneously freeze to death whilst getting eaten alive by clouds of midges, where's the fun?

Yerr. Lots of company trademarks in that list. Derp.

Nice. Added the word 'trademark' 8hrs later.
