	New SAGA website - SAGAZONE by geordiegirl on 1 November 2007 10:22pm   Anybody here who is 50plus tried this yet? What's it like - any reports?   Re: New SAGA website - SAGAZONE by perfectbitch on 2 November 2007 11:37am   I am heading towards wrinklyhood and had a look at the site. It seems ok but from what I read, the members are not as young at heart or as open minded as I. I will look in from time to time though. Linz   Re: New SAGA website - SAGAZONE by Spursfan on 2 November 2007 11:51am   We have used Saga house and car insurance before, and had a year's free sample of their mag. I haven't looked on the site yet. I agree with your views, Linz - reading the mag I often felt an interloper, even though I was either in my late 40's or just 50 when we had the mag!! Age is a state of mind, and I am often 'surprised' when I remember my age as I still, honestly, feel 20 odd even though I have a disabling illness. I read a good strip cartoon in You magazine (Mail on Sunday) the other week. Two women discussing age - can't remember the exact wording but basically one is saying how she doesnt feel middleaged but still a teenager and asks what is the difference, the other says 'the shoes'!!!   Re: New SAGA website - SAGAZONE by perfectbitch on 2 November 2007 12:41pm   Lol. Oh yes! the shoes I used to wear... Linz   Re: New SAGA website - SAGAZONE by Spursfan on 2 November 2007 1:24pm   You said it girl!!! I can even remember on at least TWO occasions going to my antenatal clinic heavily preggers wearing knee-high red boots with about 2" platforms and huge heels!! I was married, but only 18/19 at the time - the thought of wearing them at all now gives me a headache hahaha but preganant...!!! And unfortunately when I was pushing Genevieve's pram through the town we lived in I fell over and scuffed them terribly! They were never the same afterwards (I'm glad to say both baby and I were unaffected (except the shame!!)).   Re: New SAGA website - SAGAZONE by keegarumum on 2 November 2007 2:35pm   you girls go on about the shoes you used to wear?! what about the ones us blokes used to clonk about in! Talk about high heeled wedges, I cant believe how fashions have changed. I used to have these really cool platform boots with all sorts of patterns on them which I used to wear with the most tightest jeans youd ever find! I only thre them boots out about 6 years ago, I loved them so much, but they were so heavy! Unreal for a bloke really but quite normal in them days!!   Re: New SAGA website - SAGAZONE by perfectbitch on 2 November 2007 4:14pm   I had one pair of platforms that were so high and stiff that I had to rock backwards and forwards to get going. Linz   Re: New SAGA website - SAGAZONE by Spursfan on 2 November 2007 4:14pm   They were not exactly wedges but this is what my husband (of nearly 36 years!) wore to our wedding at Islington Registry Office. Jimi Hendrix T-shirt; bottle green velvet jacket; jade velvet trousers (I think that's what the colour is called); red suede knee length boots (worn on the outside). I was practically normal in comparison ! Purple snakeskin effect full length dress; purple cape; green nail varnish on one hand and blue on the other (this was when it was a bit way out to have a colour other than pink or red); black boots; tapestry shoulder bag and....satin Spurs scarf! Just a normal wedding.....have I given you ideas, Sunniva ? lol ;-)   Re: New SAGA website - SAGAZONE by geordiegirl on 2 November 2007 7:02pm   Well it's great to hear the views! Linz, thanks - I will look at it sometime but bearing in mind your comment about open-mindedness. I hear enough of that sort of moan at bus-stops, supermarket queues, etc.(and more & more) That's what's good about this site - we ARE tolerant & open & interest each other(even if there's the odd moan) (Ironically, I first read Michael speaking on his DIARIES in a Saga interview on-line). Shoes - need a seperate thread! Keegarum - do you think the 1970s produced the most ridiculous clothes/shoes last century? (Maybe that needs a thread too...)
