I tried it placing the line right at the top of my .emacs and it still
wont do anything, also tried via the customize menus also with no effect.

Because although I use Iswitch buffer, when I have *Compile-log*
*Completions* and some other file I might be visiting that happens to
begin with Comp it becomes for me at least, a little extra step to type
out the buffer name. (or enough of the buffer name to be unique) 

Maybe its because I am relatively new to emacs and this is the way it
works, you just get used to having lots of buffers? I will bind
something to bury-buffer I suppose.

Yes I dont know where I got that from and have removed it.

I dont care really if emacs has to recreate the buffer but I see
your point though about forgetting something and having to take another
look.

Thank you.
