• 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

    WRU to announce cut to two teams as full details of seismic plan emerge

    Oh ok. Ta. I'd read a statement from Ospreys last May saying why they wouldn't sign it then a week later I read an article saying that consequently the WRU were giving notice on the current setup. But beyond thinking it's a massive cockup I'm very much an ignorant casual onlooker.

    WRU to announce cut to two teams as full details of seismic plan emerge

    I profess to have little understanding (and even less interest) in the machinations of Welsh regional rugby. My interest only extends as far as what becomes of both Saint Helens and Rodney Parade. Presumably the worst case scenario for Saint Helens is it continuing to host Swansea, and that...

    Ozzy Osbourne

    I think them instead playing summat like Planet Caravan would've been much more interesting 😀

    Boys v Girls A Level Results

    Damn right. She insists kids who get almost half the questions wrong should not be awarded an A but I've told her "Get with the times, Granny". 😆

    Boys v Girls A Level Results

    Mrs Bear teaches locally. She's been concerned about this cohort since they arrived in Lower Sixth two years ago, yet they've almost all emerged with A* and A. She still thinks they were a poor cohort. 🤷

    Young man dies in Swansea prison

    Hmm, odd, isn't it? Was he doing it via mobile phone or summat rather than physically wandering the streets? I'm actually surprised more folks aren't dying in Swansea prison.

    The Hundred 2025 ...

    Their batting was lamentable too. And let's not dwell on their running between wickets either.

    Homelessness Minister Rushanari Ali quits

    It was a simple misunderstanding over one key responsibility in her role.

    Aberavon seafront parking charge

    I'm no luddite but I seem to have no end of problems with physically paying for parking in Wales. Whether it's inscrutable instructions on the machines, faults, struggling to download then register then use parking apps. It makes me want to ride my bike instead. (Oxwich Bay parking is now £7...

    Paul Compton

    He used to wear a headband in the 1980s. On the pitch he resembled Brighton's Steve Foster albeit without the silky skills and agility.

    Tinnitus

    The "100%" remark was me paraphrasing to be honest. Her hearing is crap actually. My life has become one long saga of repeating myself but louder. I'm amazed they haven't tried to flog her a set of aids.

    Tinnitus

    Mrs Bear goes here for hearing tests. Decades spent teaching means her hearing is shot yet Vineys (who presumably are wanting to sell hearing aids) tell her "Your hearing is not 100% but you're alright". That at least tells me they're ethical. Alternatively their measuring equipment might be...

    Tipping Point

    This guy keeps popping up on my Instagram feed. He seems a lovely fellow but by heck he's no mastermind.

    RIP Hulk Hogan

    Gawd, reading these familiar names I obviously watched more wrestling back then than I realised. Ravishing Rick Rude was my personal favourite. I can't believe he's been dead over 25 years.

    Fuhrer Starmer

    Doctor Sarno wrote about all this decades ago. Bloody amazing. I'd been wracked with back pain for years and it bloody vanished as I was reading.

    The Glastonbury 2025 Thread

    I knew Rod had voice problems, and he's never been what might be described as a polished singer, but sheesh he was shouting. Out of tune. Most of this years singing (that I listened to) seemed to be out of tune. Even Olivia Rodrigo was a bit dodgy. One notable exception was the singer from...

    Parking in Gower

    My mate is bilingual yet he was ranting about the one that was the old bus turning place in Mumbles. It was peeing down with rain and the machine kept cancelling the transaction before he could pay. Reckoned he was soaked to the skin by the time he got a ticket.

    Glamorgan Cricket Club 2025 - Promotion???

    Anyone happen to know why Ttibe is batting at eight? Exhaustion? Injury? I'm not averse to him doing it in this instance. Just curious.

    Looks like Lord Bony was right...

    As far as I'm aware, the last time Iran started a war was in the 18th century. Isn't it remarkable that they get such bad press?
