• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

Mr Mercedes is our current binge. If a series can be disturbing and entertaining I think they have achieved their objective.

Overview
A psychopath killer steals a Mercedes and runs over 16 people attending a local job fair. However, a retired detective tries to bring down the culprit.
 
No spoilers for traitors 🤣

But without giving anything away

Bit embarrassing from Amanda. Proving she was crap at her job in front of a few million.
Fiona chucks her chances into a skip fire.
Barking programme.

Watched I Swear earlier on this week, really enjoyed.

It’s very well done, my expectations before I watched were just to hear some untimely language, but it’s a lot more than that! Based on a true story about John Davidson and his life living with Tourette’s. After it finished, I just sat thinking, how much it had affected John Davidsons life.

A must watch. 👍

Someone I know very well has Tourette’s. It can be a massively debilitating and life changing condition. I haven’t seen this film yet but I’m glad it shines a light on the condition and its impacts. It’s very much misunderstood, including by me before it affected someone I know.

The Lewis Capaldi documentary is brilliant and illuminating as well. Netflix I think.

There’s been a few documentaries on the subject over the years, and whilst it is initially funny in a childish way, sorry but it is, the reality of living with it must be horrendous. I remember one of the shows where the son had it, then years later his mother ‘developed’ the condition as well.

You’re right, there’s no doubt that on the surface it’s funny. That’s how I thought of it for years and years. Random and inappropriate swearing basically. And I don’t care what anyone says, that’s funny. But as we now know it’s so much more than that. The person I know with it is in their late 20s now and while they always had it (and that only becomes clear with hindsight) it didn’t fully develop until they were in their mid to late teens. And the impact on that person’s life since then has been astonishing in how significant it’s been. It’s a real eye opener.
 
Ferris Buellers g/f returned to acting in Life of Chuck currently on Netflix. I personally enjoyed it. There have been some good Stephen King adaptations more recently after some truly dreadful ones earllier on in his career. His short stories in particular have been well done. Mr Mercedes, mentioned earlier is based on A King Novel series, although I didnt greatly enjoy reading them. He is trying his hand at detective novels. I wish he would stay in his lane.

Have you got to the third book in that series (End of Watch)? It veers far more into traditional King territory. I really enjoyed all three.
