Flintshire - The Official Blog!
Welcome!
It was a long time coming, but I finally did it. I have had some form of web page relating to Flintshire. But a few months ago I lost the ownership of www.flintshire.co.uk, a domain I had owned for some 10 years. However, that wasn't important to the powers to be.
Dispite it not being due for renewal for over a year, Nominet (the .uk domain registry - or a government agency licenced to print money!) decided I hadn't filled out my registration correctly all those years ago and therefore decided to cancel my registration. On the same day the domain was picked up by someone else.
I was not a happy camper.
After several phone calls and consulting some London based domain name lawyer, I realised I was screwed. So I decided to register www.iflintshire.co.uk and actually do something constructive with it.
So I will be adding stuff about Flintshire. Maybe even a bit or two about me and definitely some commentary on what goes on in Flintshire and beyond. Hope you can join me for the ride!
Talking of rides. As the rain, sleet and/or snow is lashing my living room window, I'm wondering if I'll be able to get in to work tomorrow. This isn't as daft as it sounds. I live on one of the worst estates in Flintshire for impassable roads when it snows or freezes. And of course we have no grit! More of this in a future post...
