    Why not ask your mate Michael O'Leary to help ?
    You've kissed his behind so often you must be due a return favour.
    Laters.:D

    Ne pas moi. Never ever used Ryan Air. I know a good joke about Mr O'Leary though...

    Ryanair's Micheal O'Leary arrives in a hotel in Dublin, he goes to the bar and asks for a pint of draught Guinness.

    The barman nodded and said, "That will be one Euro please, Mr. O'Leary."

    Somewhat taken aback, O'Leary replied, "That's very cheap," and handed over his money.

    "Well, we try to stay ahead of the competition", said the barman. "...and we are serving free pints every Wednesday evening from 6 until 8. Ours is the cheapest beer in Ireland."

    "That is remarkable value" Michael comments.

    The barman says "I see you don't seem to have a glass, so you'll probably need one of ours. That will be 3 euro please".

    O'Leary scowled, but paid up. He took his drink and walked towards a seat.

    "Ah, you want to sit down?" said the barman, "...that'll be an extra 2 euro. You could have pre-booked the seat, and it would have only cost you a Euro."

    The barman continues, "I think you may to be too big for the seat sir, can I ask you to sit in this frame please?"

    Michael attempts to sit down, but the frame is too small and when he can't squeeze in he complains "Nobody would fit in that little frame!".

    The barman replies "I'm afraid if you can't fit in the frame you'll have to pay an extra surcharge of €4.00 for your seat sir".

    O'Leary swore to himself, but paid up.

    "I see that you have brought your laptop with you" added the barman, "...and since that wasn't pre-booked either, that will be another 3 euro."

    O'Leary was so annoyed that he walked back to the bar, slammed his drink on the counter, and yelled, "This is ridiculous, I want to speak to the manager!"

    "Ah, I see you want to use the counter," says the barman, "that will be 2 euro please."

    O'Leary's face was red with rage, and he yells "Do you know who I am?"

    The barman replies, "Of course I do Mr. O'Leary."

    O'Leary again, "I've had enough, What sort of Hotel is this? I come in for a quiet drink and you treat me like this. I insist on speaking to a manager!"

    The barman replies, "Here is his E-mail address, or if you wish, you can contact him between 9 and 9.10 every morning, Monday to Tuesday at this free phone number. Calls are free, until they are answered, then there is a talking charge of only 10 cents per second".

    O'Leary fuming, "I will never use this bar again!

    And finally the barman "OK sir, but remember, we are the only hotel in Ireland selling pints for one Euro!"

    If you have nothing to hide there is no need to use a proxy server, IMO its a bit sad if you do. I also dont see the need to have a "back up" account, that also suggests something to hide, IMO

    My back-up account was there to stop a certain TA member following me half-way round the world from Tunisia to SE Asia, and making contradictory remarks to some of my postings.

    This is [or rather was] my back-up account, and I only used in on SE Asian [and Nepal] TA forums, far away from the infant school playground that the Tunisia forums have become...
