Welcome to the Home Page of Obsessive Compulsives UK
Welcome to our site - it’s taken a lot of work to get this far and… hang on, let me just check the site’s still up. Oh I’d better save this file just in case. Hang on. Right where was I? Oh yes, we’re trying to do a lot of work here to help folk who… wait a minute, I think I can hear a hot water tap running I’ll just check it. Ah it’s ok. Right, so we’re a self help group of people with obsessive compulsive disorder (ocd) who want to help each other through the… oh wait a minute… Christ! I’ve left the iron on! No I haven’t! Yes I have!
Ok, if you’ve come to this site via the usual route, you’ll be wondering what the heck is going on.
Basically we were sat watching a trailer for the very funny Catherine Tate Show and she made a gag about obsessives who should log on to http://www.christivelefttheironon.co.uk/noihavent/yesihave
And well, James and I were wondering if the domain had been registered. The computer was just there you know…so we had no choice but to check - and it was available! We couldn’t resist and, for the princely sum of a fiver, we had a shiny new domain!
Then, erm, what were we going to do with it?! And I realised, it shouldn’t be difficult to record the entry url - I’d simply redirect the domain to this post here that you’re reading now, and see what happens.
So - here’s the gig. Suggest how many people are sad enough to log on to a domain they’ve heard on the TV. After the show has aired (anyone know when it will be?) I will reveal the web stats to all. There may even be a prize in it - I dunno, a souvenir or something. Maybe it could be like when I listened to Radio Kiev on my shortwave radio as a kid and got excited by their offer of a “selection of Kiev souvenirs” for anyone who reported their signal strength.
No bets are being taken on how many people are sad enough to actually register a domain they’ve heard on the TV - that’s just two. James and Me.
PS. I wanted to add the links to the official site and to some products not just because I’m shamelessly commercial, but as a way of thanking Catherine Tate for all the traffic I might get. Not that I’m sure there’ll be much traffic, but let’s see….
PPS. The show returns to our screens on BBC 2 at 9pm on Thursday 26th October! Watch it and wait for the url. Perhaps we could also bet when it’s used in the show? Any takers?
| I’m guessing a series of ads on BBC1 has just caused all these comments - it’s taking on a life of it’s own! Anyway, to give you a clue, tonight alone (Monday 16th October 2006) there have been some 170 people almost, but not quite, as sad as me! Keep on coming - it’s fun to be sad :o) |

Mr B
Yes. I tried it after seeing the ad. You were very quick off the mark! I think the Catherine Tate Management missed a trick there!!! Well done you.
Emily
Yes, I tried after seeing the advert! I was going to make it myself, but thought I’d check it first and you got there before me! :p Well, it wouldn’t be as good as this seeing as I’m only 13. Well done! x
Jamtart
Be careful… she (or the programme makers) may sue you. It is infringment of copyright registering a domain when it is reasonably obvious someone else has the intellectual property rights to it.
Jamtart
Especially as your link to Amazon is a commercial one that benefits you. Good luck… bet you don’t post these… Jenni Jamtart
Dave
Hi Jenni - no fear here - it’s just a bit of fun. I have Amazon links elsewhere on my site too - it just helps me to pay for the bandwidth and other costs of the site. Not that it does, no blighter ever buys anything! I added the links for goodwill, really.
Is it infringement of copyright? Perhaps. Well if they ask nicely I’ll let them have the domain - only cost me a fiver anyway. They could sue me, but I can’t exactly see how much for.
People these days worry faaaar too much about litigation - we don’t live in the US ya know ;o)
Cheers,
Dave.
PS. You lost your bet :oÞ
Brian Kemp
Classic! Can’t believe the website link worked!!! Ha Ha! Brian Kemp from Basildon!!!!
MATT ALLEN

Zeb
I sat there thinking about the URL after watching the trailer and couldn’t resist it. Well done there!
Parys
jennie, ur a twat!
p.s. im 1 of those sados who went on the website staright after the advert hahaha!
oh well.
parys xx
poggle
You should be ashamed of yourself. The poor woman is obviously in a state of extreme distress believing that she’s left the iron on. Have you no compassion? Her house could burn down for crying out loud.
Aren’t you bothered???
Blinky
You got me as well, I just saw the ad and had to check it out. Nice one!
Nick

Johnny Boy

THERE’S LOADS OF YOU!!!!!!!
helen
what a good giggle! I am quite happy to be grouped in with all you saddo’s coz you’ve all got a sense of humour,
I just wonder where I would have ended up if I had used the correct punctuation??????????
Robert
I can’t believe this site exists, where would I be without Sky+ (I know, I know, I have too much time on my hands ;)
Amy
Well I hope you manage to sell the rights to the website for millions! Clever work!!
Can’t wait for the new series.
Amy in Spain
Mo
I’m quite chuffed to see that the website really does exist - or should i say that someone has taken the time to set it up!!!! Good luck once the word spreads you’ll have countless hits
Maureen - Gibraltar
Dave
Damn damn damn! Just realised that my server stats won’t show stats for people who are going through a proxy (eg, ntl do it, regardless of whether you want it or not) so as a consequence I don’t see all my traffic.
So I need to add a counter to force it. Mad busy with my business stuff right now (http://www.interconnectit.com if you’re interested) so probably won’t be done until tomorrow. It’ll be right before the show, anyway :o)
But keep on coming and commenting! Really makes my day to see so many comments from visitors!
Dave (the mental one, it would seem)

matt
Hi,
I too was sad enough to try and register this domain! I thought I was pretty quick off the mark as it was available when I registered it but you guys must have won the Nominet draw or something. Good Luck!
Dave
Hi Matt - it was probably as simple as who was quickest to fill in their details! When did you try? It was last Thursday for us.
Regards,
Dave
Davey
I’m so happy that i’m not the only one with too much time on my hands.
Paul Ockenden
LOL! Very funny.
Almost as funny as Ms. Tate used to be.
Please don’t be tempted to bring out a series 2 and series 3 of this website - quit while you’re on top.
P.
jessie

Brilliant, watched the ad and thought I wonder?
sum1
i thought the cathrine tate thing was a joke so i tried it and IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!
Anita
Just checking that these are really posts and not just you - will you list a shamefacedely commercial post? I looked up the url to forward it to http://www.hscproperty.com - where - if you list this - your readers can advertise private property sales online with a 25% discount on the usual £40 if they quote S101 plus we will send you guys a 25% commission on each property online advert using this code (I know you are quick - you bought this url - but thats £10 saving per property online advert and £10 commission to you guys) LOL. Ps where do you get .co.uk\\\’s for a fiver?
Dave
Anita - I’m a bit antsy about websites that try to up themselves by inserting every darned search term possible onto every page. Apart from the fact that it doesn’t actually work that well, it’s really not helped the whole internet thang along.
So I’ve ‘broken’ the links to your site but left them in so people can read them. If you remove all the spurious stuff on the bottom of each page of your site then just let me know and I’ll ‘unbreak’ the links.
Cheers,
Dave
Anita
Hey Dave! Your posts are real and not just an over active imagination… Ditched the keywords - you’re right they dont work that well, only tried them recently. But private property sales can save property sellers £thousands in Estate Agent fees so its gotta be worth a go!
Anita
ps all the best with the site… and I want to say - Ive Seen a lot of posts saying ‘another saddo’ But I dont think we are SAD for looking it up - the others are just too lazy to move from the sofa!
zoe--x

Cheap cashing in sod. You have had your fifteen minutes of fame - pretty poor and weak 15 mins at that.
ami
i just saw the advert and i was sad enought to check it.
however not sad enough to make a site for it
ami

Dee
I’m at work designing our company website when i heard the advert. i was so bored i thought i’d check it out.
well done. i hope you make a few quid out of it!!
MeepMeep
Hehe another good example of this is from the comdey series ‘two and a half men’. Today oddly enough there was the episode where women who have ‘met’ the main character (played by charlie sheen) have set up a web site in order to talk about what an a**ehole he is. And it too exists (www.charlieharpersucks.com). Quite amusing, though it redirects and looks set up by the TV company. But it looks just like the one you catch a glimpse of in the episode, which was funny.
PaulSmith
I was just looking at Numberwang.co.uk (or was it com?) when the CT ad came on and I was still feeling sad and bored. So I’m here. With you lot. I hope you’ll join me at http://www.ineedtogetalife.com/actuallyivealreadygotone/ohnoihavent for some good hard blogging later :-)
Paul
Yep. I was going to register it too, but I wasn’t bothered enough to take a look till now.
No, I don’t thnk Miss Tate is very funny (I’m over the age of 12). I’m an opportunist whose slower off the mark than you.
I’d be very interested to hear how much trafic you get from this for future ref. Well done. Good luck.
Dave
Anthony Wilson - cashing in? Cashing IN?! Hah… I wish. Total revenue from this site so far - £0. Pft!
Don’t think you know what a bit of fun is all about.
Nan
Oh Fackin’ Chill ahhhhtt woncha???!!!
Worra Fackin’LIBERTY!!!!!
Look at ‘er face, is she bovvered? Face, bovvered, bovvered face etc., etc.,
Nan is my favourite character on the show.

And I’m just about to check www chinnedbythemissus co uk but if there’s nothing there yet, you’d better get on it, Dave! And be AQAP because the next episode is on on Thursday, and there’ll no doubt be another quirky URL mentioned!
Great job!

Mark
Lol, I just tried it now after remembering the trailer. I’m loving The Catherine Tate Show this year! I’ve heard that it’s the last series :( sadly because she’s starring in 4 movies. One of them I know is called “Sixty Six”. Seen the trailer and saw Catherine! Have a bad feeling she only has a small part though. Clever the way you got the URL so fast! I don’t think she would sue you, Chinnedmythemissus.co.uk is taken aswell
Jennifer
Had to try this–I just can’t believed it worked :)
Ian McDermott
lol brilliant at first I thought wow OCD original web site but did not take long to read I was wrong. Excellent and I bet Catherine Tate would find this highly amusing to
Rodney
Hi. Just another “saddo” here :)
