Wow! I so had this happen, it was only to get the .com for my cats blog, but as soon as I searched it (123-reg.co.uk) and set up her blog on the .co.uk, a DAY later the .com was gone. Cyber squatted….
Red makes a good point: buying up the correlating .com to a newly-registered .co.uk is an easy technique for cybersquatters, so ALWAYS buy both at the same time! The point is valid the other way around too: there are a couple of my close competitors who have bought the .com but not the .co.uk, and frankly it is *killing* me not to buy the .co.uks away from them ]:)
