• 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

    England's Winter Tour Of Test Cricket ...

    There's something desperately sad about an international sporting event in such a sparsely populated stadium. General admission on day 3 is 14 pence. The country has got its problems of course but I wonder if people's decision to go/not go is actually an economic one.

    That's Handy Wynne

    Oh man. The law of close proximity. I bet most of us have crushed on someone when we've been propelled into an intense period of working together. I'd be a babbling wreck if I had a sexy dancer writhing against me for hours on end (and yes, Johannes, I'm including you in this). But Wynn, for...

    There's a Swansea boy in the Big Brother house

    Heh. Seems very likeable. He'll probably do well.

    Playing it out from the back.

    Presumably it's the Huw Jenkins Effect as they're trying the same ploy at Newport. Five League 2 duffers all playing hospital passes to one another. For a laugh someone should record the crowd's expressions. It'd be like filming the first people to watch Friday the 13th.

    Favorite cereal 😋

    I doubted I could ever cope without cereal for breakfast but a few years back I went on a health kick thing. No brekkies, just one black coffee. My bottom lip was out for sure. (I'm an office worker so I guess refuelling isn't as important as if I had a physical job). After two weeks of this...

    XL Bullies

    That's grim. Ours gets into a terrible state each time the smoke alarm battery warning starts chirping. It's pathetic to see her. Thankfully it's an infrequent occurrence. I don't really know what I'm talking about here, but I've heard folks talking about thunder jackets (a sort of...

    XL Bullies

    Rubbish day for the dog, unless he's local to the area.

    Night Sleeper

    Yeah, I'm really enjoying Brassic on Sky. It's funny, with some great characters.

    Glamorgan 2024 Season ...

    I haven't seen him face a delivery yet, though admittedly he's not faced many, but what's the problem with Tribe? Is his technique fundamentally flawed? Is he getting out to an uncanny series of jaffas? It's getting painful.

    Pagers exploding simultaneously in Lebanon...

    Astonishing. Hezbollah apparently consider pagers a more secure means of communicating than mobile phones. This is next level scary, though. Whatever next?

    Christmas Dinner 2024

    Many years back we did Christmas in Tampa. It was so lovely and stress* free. *parent 😂 The one blot on the landscape was that I'd not pre-booked Christmas dinner anywhere, so I was pretty nervous walking up to a nice-looking restaurant and asking for a table. But they had plenty of free...

    Swansea Fringe 3rd-5th October 2024

    Bad start. They've mis-spelled Margo Thirlwell's name on the flyer (Saves himself from a zero thread <fist pump>).

    Swansea Fringe 3rd-5th October 2024

    https://www.swanseafringe.com/ This is the first I've heard of this yet they've apparently run them in previous years. Anyone ever been? Is it a bit like Edinburgh? The (sparse) info I can find seems to suggest it's a music festival. I'd prefer if there was a bit of comedy, but here's...

    Christmas Dinner 2024

    I don't actually mind cooking Christmas dinner. More accurately I don't actually mind buying the stuff from M&S (hark at me!) then my wife cooking it while I run around in the background, flapping. Our local in Sketty bit off more than they could chew last Christmas, booked too many in then...

    Night Sleeper

    I thought it was a great idea but terribly done. That script was excruciating. I don't think I've ever tutted so much.

    Cruise Holidays

    I think that's the only one I'd seriously consider, as it's the most civilised way of getting the dog to the US if we decide to go for a proper stretch. I did a bike and barge holiday once. We cycled from Amsterdam to Bruges, leaving the barge each morning after breakfast, meeting up with it...

    Murder in Gendros

    Aye. There'll have been lots of blood. Christ what a tragedy.

    NHS guidance says staff should ask men if they're pregnant ahead of X-rays ...

    So this was previously a woman, who is becoming a man, though still having vaginal sex of whatever sort. Man, so many questions.

    Investment Thread

    I thought mine was quite a witty post. But I guess I just didn't read the room.

    Some sad news for me.....

    I'm sorry to hear about your mate, K23. My football-watching buddy died suddenly 12 years ago. It's still tough not having him around.
