Wait, I am no longer the youngest in the club!!! I was one of the youngest when I joined a dozen years ago and likely still am at the age of 39. But a police officer referred to me as "young man" a few days ago so I will take that!

Well, I'm afraid this begs the question: and why was a policeman addressing you? :shock: :mrgreen:

Gen Kling, I believe your wife is correct!

Col Hakan Hen, years ago another police officer informed me that I am 5' 10" so I feel justified in telling people I am an inch or two taller than I really am. And for those wondering I do not have a criminal record!

I think all our wives will agree with that statement. :mrgreen:

I will be 45 before the end of this year and my wife has always though it was weird for a grown man to play with little soldiers on a computer :mrgreen:

But I have to say that when I told her yesterday that some of the members of the club were a little bit older than me she was in some ways impressed. :lol:

I'm 47 today, and showing signs of wear, but I was only 31 when I joined the club... :shock:

163...Ooops...sorry, that’s actually the age I feel when I lose a game. :( 16 is what I feel when I win one. :D I’m really 63.
