Valid purpose for Nominet dispute?

On the other side of the coin, I had a .co.uk domain name that I got for free from "freenetname" around ten years ago, back in the days of dial-up (as long as you used them for your internet, they maintained it for you.) After they expired it, as previous owner I got it back from nominet and then kept it up, paying the nominal renewal fees each year, despite not using it for anything, simply because it was a nice two-word domain that could be a nice business opportunity at some point, and I did initially register it intending to make use of it.

Couple of years ago, out of the blue, I got an email from somebody wanting to buy it. Turned out they were from a major domain name dealer, and after a bit of bargaining, I sold it for over £4K ! It now belongs to a leading motoring magazine !

Only works if you have a name like Otto Carr though.

Plxply...it just so happens that I am disabled and living on morphine ect, after major spine op. did not work out, and can only use 1 finger to type and use pc for 20 max per day.
It is pathetic how people try to be smart without knowing the facts , also this domain statement looks like a wind up , how could someone be so childish.

Haha, you're seeking sympathy from the wrong person. You are also discussing with a disabled person who has been on fentanyl transdermal patches for years however I will not use my disability as a justification for my actions like you have done, which I by the way find totally disgusting. The fact of the matter is you came into the thread provided no useful information and instead proceeded to insult me. I'm fine if you said that it's a common thing but I did not in any way act childish and instead came to a forum to ask for information regarding the situation.
