96 Gmail invites and some more information.

I've got 96 Gmail invites going spare. If you are from the UK though the system detects you and you have to have a @googlemail.com address. Everyone else gets a @gmail.com. If you use a proxy such as VTunnel you can have a Gmail one.
After i send you an invite copy and paste the link in VTunnel at the bottom of the page (www.vtunnel.com) and the Gmail system will give you a Gmail address because it thinks you are in the USA. You have to put up with some popups from vtunnel but after you have an account with Gmail you don't have to go through that website again.
PM me your existing email address and I'll send you a invite.
The reason UK customers can't have normally have a @Gmail.com address is because an investment company in the UK tried to sue Google because they have the right the use the Gmail name in the UK.
Due to Hotmail trying to block their users from going over to Gmail. If you have received an invite to your Hotmail they will have probably moved it to your bulk mail folder from your inbox.
