• 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

    You Fibre

    Yeah, cold callers are wasting their time knocking on my door. I've stopped short of getting a door sticker but only cos Mrs Bear objects to its lack of aesthetic appeal (I.e. I'm not allowed). Having a landline is a bleedin waste of time too nowadays. I marvel at how many folks must engage...

    Fit Jacks

    Sounds great. I did something similar a few years back and I still use some of the techniques I learned.

    Putting Petrol in a Diesel car

    That was fortunate. I thought you were all about the overengineered German shit. I once saw a guy in a Rolls Royce who'd misfuelled but thankfully not yet started it. Imagine!!! EDIT Bold. What's going on?

    Bitcoin hits $100,000

    Heck. I'd probably have chucked them instead.

    Bitcoin hits $100,000

    I console myself by reminding myself that, had I bought ten of them back in 2009, I'd have sold them for a small profit in 2010.

    Gigs ‘25

    I'm not sure it counts as a gig but I'm paying my first visit to the Arena tomorrow. "Love Actually is on the big screen accompanied by a live orchestra. 😁

    Terry Griffiths RIP ...

    If he'd gone out in the first round in 1979 I might've passed a couple more o levels. Hope springs eternal.

    Gregg Wallace

    I'd have put her leagues higher than him in terms of their value to BBC, but yeah, maybe viewing figures are in his favour. He's getting a right royal kicking on Threads. It seems his behaviour was complained about 15 years ago but nothing was done.

    No agenda here. What intrigues me is why Wark apparently sat on this for over a decade. The "cancel culture" has been around for a few years. She could've got him ages ago.

    Live and let live 😁. You'll be having a go at trainspotters next. Besides. Some people waste their Saturday afternoons - oh, wait.

    NFL 2024

    This is the first time this season I've seen a Raiders match from the start. They've a new offensive coordinator so I'm not sure who is accountable for their very brittle offense. One event in particular that caught my attention. Miami were in the red zone when a flag was thrown for offensive...

    NFL 2024

    The Raiders appear to be playing a beatnik at quarterback. His most notable play so far v Miami is inadvertently tackling one of his own men behind the line of scrimmage.

    White Wine

    As happens occasionally through her work my missus got gifted a bottle of wine recently. I was straight onto the Vivino app to see whether it was worth hanging onto. £130 a bottle. Lordy. I proudly announced this to some guests who burst out laughing. "We've seen that for about eight quid in...

    The "Things that are worth saying but are not important enough to have their own Thread" Thread

    Any fans of Belgian beer on here? I've a cupboard full of the stuff and am generally blown away by the quality. But today I tried this. It was only bottled in May. Google describes it as "unique" and "slightly sweet". But it is so cheek-suckingly dry I'm having a hard time drinking it...

    NFL 2024

    I'm currently watching a replay of Sunday's Raiders@Bengals match. It's like watching a highlights reel of the worst of the Raiders 1986-2024. Why do I put myself through this?

    Jon Anderson

    Just to give a different perspective to the Yes/No (did you see what I did there? Oh never mind) debate. When I was at school there were some serious Yes fans knocking about. The trouble was that they were know it all tw@ts, meaning I instinctively hated Yes. Decades later I got cajoled into...

    Jon Anderson

    As I age I'm perhaps becoming more tolerant of his ethereal vocals, though in my youth I regarded him as the weak link in that band. I felt his voice was at least an octave too high to be a rock singer. Plus his near-constant waving at the audience was bewilderingly cheesy. Eighty, though...

    21st October 1966 - 09.13 am ... ABERFAN

    A friend a bit older than me remembers being at her school that day and having crying parents bursting into the classroom to take their children home.

    Netflix

    I'm enjoying a month's free access to Paramount+ as a result of buying a case of Staropramen. The series "A Gentleman in Moscow" starring Ewan Macgregor has really been very good. It - and I mean this in a positive way - ambles along at a gentle pace, and paints a picture of life in Russia in...

    Recycling Centre

    There's a non-recyclable trailer just a few yards from the mini roundabout. I lob stuff in there. No one has ever challenged me. When I say "I" and "me" I actually mean other people. The total bastards.
