bonfire, welcome to snowHeads: you may be the only Norwegian here
And thank you for reviving this thread. I had somehow missed it. I see a number of imposters (Lightsiders) have posted their details here: there is obviously some fascination in declaring personal details, so I may as well join in.

Thirteen snowNuts have posted their profile, and all but DB have given their age. The age range is very tight at 27 - 34 (mean 30.83).
I'll get my Zimmer ......
