• We have today (22nd April) confirmed the closure of JackArmy.net on 31st May. Our reasons are varied but after a twenty-five year stint at the heart of the online Swansea City community, the time is right for us to bow out.

    Buying glasses online

    Yes. Although the quality is lower than my local independent. I get my main pairs (readers/close work and drivers with the reactive lenses) from the local place but usually get a spare for work and a cheap pair for working with animals. Usually have a stash of the cheap Amazon readers in the...

    Flynn Downes - Missed Red Card Offence

    The one that annoys me (as a microbiologist) is Gram staining. Americans use gram, but it’s a proper noun as Christian Gram developed the test.

    Flynn Downes - Missed Red Card Offence

    Offence. We are not (yet) Americans!;)

    JackArmy.net - Twenty-Five Years And Out

    Thanks Phil for your work here and with the Trust. The kids for a quid and the fun days with face painting etc. were loved by my daughter. She's 24 now and still comes to the odd game. Will be sorry to see the site go as relatively sane compared to the histrionics on X

    Reform deciding the history of Wales in museums

    I would imagine that Rebecca, The Merthyr Rising, the Newport Chartists and the Tonypandy Riots will all be ignored. The Ironmasters and Coal Barons who exploited our natural wealth and the people will be held up as heroes of free enterprise. Death and disease from the pit and the metal works...

    Andy Kershaw RIP

    Sad to hear the passing of Andy Kershaw at just 66. A man who had many problems in his personal life but a great enthusiast and promoter of music, especially world music. Was a real breath of fresh air to mid-80s Whistle Test as young presenter. His enthusiasm was great-hugely excited...

    Overly focused on “risks to” Rudakubana rather than “from him”

    Underinvestment is decades long-really goes back to Thatcher and the move to 'care in the community'. Not addressed by Blair/Brown. Fourteen years of austerity far from helping-in fact almost destroying all healthcare systems. Access to CAMHS (child mental health) is typically a two year wait...

    Stadium + Snoop = Millions

    Two nights sold out. As they did in Bristol.

    April is World Autism Acceptance Month

    Thanks for posting. My son has ASD (I probably do to an extent) and it's really sensory issues that challenge him. It's always a challenge that behaviours associated with ASD are seen as 'odd and awkward' and are not bad behaviour, just coping.

    Struber sacked at Bristol City

    Steve Lansdown (of Hargreaves-Lansdown) is the owner of the Robins and Bristol Bears. The consensus around here is that the Bears are his love and his son looks after the football side. As long as they don't haemorrhage cash he seems not to bother. Always think of Bristol as football's greatest...

    Málaga Airport

    Yes- Tenerife last month. Machines are extremely unreliable. Close to an hour wait (and was not that busy). Bring some water and go to the loo before joining the queue.

    Senedd Election 2026

    If I was on the other side of the Bristol Challenge I would be doing that even though I am a Labour member (which can get you booted out). Wales needs considerable investment. It's only when I went to University (1986) I realised how bad infrastructure and education are, Unfortunately devolution...

    What is going to happen between now&end of the season?

    There's no one unbeatable in this Division. There are many inconsistent teams. Pompey and Oxford have tough run ins including playing each other and Leicester (Pompey's is horrendous including Coventry and Boro). Leicester have a few play off and promotion contenders to face too. We will...
