So, how old do you have to be to qualify as a Grandfather? (he says worriedly as he suspects he qualifies :cry: )

I don't think it depends on the age. But depends on if you have grand sons or daugthers :D .

If you're old enough for SAGA, then you're old enough...

Ouch...! ...I qualified for SAGA nearly 14 years ago.... :cry: ...but I don't actually qualify as a grandfather!

Technically, you could be 32, or even less(!!) and be a grandfather. Grief... that means I could have been a great-great-grandfather by now... now that is really depressing... ...not... :lol:

I guess in this context, that, having first learned to program in ALGOL with punch cards and paper tape qualifies me as a grandfather!

Ah yes....... punch cards and paper tapes, we used fortran4.

anyway moving on 10 years ago I employed a lady to run my company accounts and she became a grandmother at 32!

I'm a relative newcomer to Saga, but appreciate the cheap insurance and stuff. It makes growing old cheap if nothing else! :lol:

Suddenly I feel young, got the grandfather badge, but still way to young for SAGA.

Still, the white hairs and 'senior' moments are all to frequent....and falling asleep after christmas dinner. No one told me getting old was so exciting :shock:

but thanks to you guys I'm feeling like a spring chicken again. :lol:

Yes, you have to have your wits about you out in the spacelanes. Keeps us all young (at heart).
