Nice sale Kiore. Never heard of this term before, looks to be a dog breed?

[Kiore]

Thanks Zap.

looks to be a dog breed?

Yes it is, papillon puppies were recently on offer for $700 each on trademe. That's part of why I decided to play hardball about price.

It's also French for butterfly, and the name for a novel and 1970s movie about a real life escape from the French "Devil's island" penal colony.

Very good.

Considering .com.au and .co.uk versions don't resolve to any location, I think this is an example of good negotiation skills on your part.

That's weird, they're both registered. I wonder why the owners haven't put something up on the names?

Suspect early on registrations, never got around to anything.
