Another tip might be that Gmail doesn’t care about dots. So paranoid@gmail.com is the same as p.a.r.a.noid@gmail.com… Try it!

Also, when signing up for an email account, you can select the location as “United Kingdom”, you will get an email with @googlemail.com … works all the time for me.

Nice tip Jason. googlemail.com sounds much better than gmail.com . As gmail.com is generalized.
