.com, .net, .co.uk and for at a push for an individual .me.uk are really all you should consider

I think there are still letter number .me .uk domains available (e.g. e6.me.uk, g5.me.uk). Try a few combinations... would make a nice short email domain.

whats wrong with .info?

If a domain is a bit like where you live in town... .info is like living on the poor side.

Where should I buy it from? Any suggestions? I thought it was a few quid per month, rather than year...

You will need more than just a domain name. You'll need basic hosting facilities.

Why does he need basic hosting? Google Apps will serve him very well for just e-mail.

Sorted it now through 123-reg and Google Apps.

Google Apps is brilliant, really like it.

Did you get a domain? I could set you up with a @lolism.net email if you need one - I have a decent amount of space & bandwidth that I never really use.

If anyone else needs a domain email rather than a free provider, let me know.

It'll do

Probably sorting out a blog or something in a few weeks too, so domain should be useful for that too.
