So guess what!
I couldn't believe my luck last night when I visited www.123-reg.co.uk and saw that "Aweso.me" was Available! It had previous stated that the domain was Unavailable some months before, so of course I INSTANTLY bought it, later to find that the domain was in my admin panel, but I couldn't do anything with it...
Gutted, simply gutted.
After phoning 123-Reg, they said they will look into it and call back within 30 mins. 2 hours later and no phone call back, I decided to call them back, which they said the domain cannot be registered and all they can do is provide a refund. They stated that you can buy it, but it won't be register as TuCows will not release it. So, surely there is no point paying for something that obviously doesn't and won't ever exist in this form?
They refuse to mark the domain as "Unavailable" which means, more gullable people like myself may end up getting all excited, later to find it was just one big mess up.

Please be aware of this, and dont fall down the same path I went as it's pretty frustrating...
