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.

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."

I like that you use the Subject: line for an actual subject. Very 1990s.
