My question is where has the link 'see a pic of me' gone in the profile? I want Orph's pic for purposes that will become clear once I have the URL.

Or if you can't answer that err.... who were the two semi-finalists that were knocked out in the recent rugby world cup? (i.e. the two that didn't make it to the final)

This is probably completely wrong, but is it size of diamond and purity of gold?

You have the right idea, but not quite. Avagadro's number is the number of atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12.

Yeah, they lost to Australia, bit of a shock really. they kinda lost their team spirit as the game went on and the Aussies really made 'em pay.

England V Australia final, which England won. Just.

(Although, when they played Wales in the Q/F they only scored one try, and wales put 3 past them, most experts reckon Wales should have won it. Wales lost, but England didn't win...

Well, if you could actually score tries and/or kick, you would have won, but apparently not. :razz:

It say in the credits at the end, which are quite hilarious.

"Number of Tracker bars consumed: 400 (or thereabouts)
Number of Frusli bars consumed: 2 - they were disgusting and the box disappeared the following morning, we think a poltergeist took them."
