• 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

    Things that annoy you more than they should

    Dog walkers who feed my dog. Especially the ones who hear me telling them "please do not feed my dog" then feed him anyway. No. training is not going well. Unless other park users enjoy having a dog bouncing up at them like Tigger, in which case it's going brilliantly.

    Things that annoy you more than they should

    There’s a pelican crossing near the mosque in Sketty seemingly designed for maximum inconvenience. It only turns red about ten seconds after the road’s gone quiet — by which time the pedestrians have already crossed. Then, just as traffic returns, the lights go red and drivers sit staring at an...

    Things that annoy you more than they should

    But yeah. Re: bad weather. We've got dogs, so regardless of the weather they need to go out. Initially I hated the walks in driving rain but you know what? I've grown to love them. There's way less tw@ts out and about, my raincoat is the dog's b0ll0x. I get home afterwards and I'm pumped. It's...

    Things that annoy you more than they should

    There's a three-way set of temporary traffic lights outside the Roger Blackmore garage in Sketty. But apart from the three sets of lights, each guarded by a couple of cones, there's no sign of any roadworks having started or imminent. Queues of cars along Gower Road...

    NFL 2025

    I've been a Raiders fan since stumbling upon them during Channel 4's NFL coverage of the strike-shortened 1982 season. I lived within reasonably easy reach of their home grounds in the 1990s so got to attend a few games. The atmosphere at these matches was always edgy (at a minimum) and...

    NFL 2025

    I am trying to see the positives for the Raiders. They shut out the Colts in quarters 1 and 4. There. That's the positives.

    What Ewe Watching

    The Newsreader on iplayer. Maybe I mentioned it when series 1 was on. Now it's up to series 3. It's an Aussie drama centred, as you'll have guessed, in a TV newsroom. The characters are strong, flawed, likeable. Look out for the head of the newsroom. I won't say too much about him. He's a...

    Things that annoy you more than they should

    Supermarket shoppers who pick stuff up then deposit it in random aisles. Lidl earlier. I was in the hardware section (gardening stuff, drill attachments etc). And there in amongst it is a big bag of carrots. Presumably some well-intentioned vitamin A junkie got distracted by a welding mask...

    Lanzarote v Tenerife

    I've only been to Lanzarote, albeit three times. Last time was December 2024. We stayed in Puerto Calero (no beach) but, having walked south on day one and north on day 2, Mrs Bear was bored so we hired electric bikes whereupon we covered a fair bit of the island. It's a very cycleable if...

    Dream Interpretation

    I just need to write this down. No agenda. I dreamed about my dad last night. Our family garden bore a peculiar resemblance to the enormous playing fields at the school I started at a few months after his death in 1974. In my dream our massive lawn - the size of several rugby pitches - had...

    NFL 2025

    Monday Night Football. Los Angeles Chargers haven't exactly blown the Raiders away (yet!) but nevertheless they look a different level.

    Charlie Kirk

    It's perhaps a bit soon but I've done some research and Mrs Kirk isn't bad looking.

    Charlie Kirk

    What I find fascinating is how many people must've been in on this hit. There was of course the gunman, those who aided him/his disappearance, then those who caused the post-shooting distraction at the meet. Presumably in time the investigation will join the dots. My bet is it's white...

    Glamorgan Cricket Club 2025 - Promotion???

    Harrison, the guy dismissed in that clip, had a curious innings, facing 36 deliveries of which 25 were dot balls, three he hit for 4 and two went for 6. It must've been some sort of passive-aggressive mishmash. They're back underway. Carlson has got a wicket. Glamorgan still lead by over 100...

    NFL 2025

    I'm going to jinx it by mentioning that the Raiders are ahead in Q4 despite being on the road. How bad must those Patriots be?

    Angela Rayner Stamp Duty

    I'm hugely disappointed in her. She was one of my faves. Unfortunately she had to go.

    NFL 2025

    The book "Friday Night Lights" drew on the economic decline in North Texas, and how following their local high school was a lot of peoples' escape. The pressure and abuse grown adults placed on these high school kids wasn't nice.

    What Ewe Watching

    The Netflix series about Hurricane Katrina is a really tough watch. Note: episode 1 is tedious but it gets better.

    Ben Lloyd

    Lloyd is yet to impress. Newport are an admittedly poor side but he looks to be the weakest element in their midfield.

    XL Bullies

    Impressive. He must be a heck of a shot to pick off the dog with a shotgun without injuring the people it was attacking. Pity, thinking about it, that the owner didn't catch at least a few pellets.
