Not enough words
I've received an invitation to join Google's 1Gb E-mail service, G-Mail(thanks Ian), but for the life of me I can't seem to get a username that I like. Either, everybody in the entire world has already registered or Google have pre-registered the entire Oxford English Dictionary. I must have tried dozens of screwy words and phrases but every single one came back unavailable. I refuse to have an address that looks like some twat on AOL with their name and then a load of random numbers in a vain attempt to get something individual. I generally have better luck registering domain names but it can't be long before saturation point is reached on that too. Changing the TLD is not the answer either, nobody wants to be a .biz or .whatever it's .com or .co.uk or nothing. Anyway, I'll try again tonight to come up with some devastatingly clever pun that befits my rapier wit.

That's the most polite one I could come up with...

Is that the best you can come up with? And to think that, at one time, your dream job was to be a headline writer for "the super soaraway Sun".
Must try harder.

Well, I finally signed up for GMail. In the end I used a username based on the business venture I'm working on as the 2 suggestions made didn't suit (a wannabe weegie and ex-deviant footballer wont ring my bell). So far I think only Ian will know the address (as it was his invite I used) so if I get any spam I'll know who it was ;-)
