  • Cheers Fermi,

    Basically, I can't. Ah well, that'll teach me to pick such an odd name...

    You could register again with a new name. You only have 9 posts on the current name.
    A man walked into a car showroom.
    He said to the salesman, “My wife would like to talk to you about the Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
    Salesman said, “We haven't got a Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
    The man replied, “You have now mate".
