• 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

    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...

    Daily Dog Walk Moans

    Almost every day I bump into this fellow walking his dog. He's a cracking bloke but Jesus he moans a lot about how Swansea was better in the 1970s, when the sun shone all Summer and most of the winter. I can't decide if these encounters are doing me harm or good. Anyhow, this morning's moan...

    Anything happen at school today, son?

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3w14w8xz2jo.amp Presumably we can't discuss matters still being investigated by the police? Pity. It sounds like a cracker that would've had Grange Hill's censors foaming at the mouth.

    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...

    https://swanseacamra.org.uk/2024/04/20/swansea-camra-names-its-2024-pub-of-the-year/ It's an attractive-looking pub from the outside but honestly I've never seen it open let alone been in.

    https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/cardiff-city-fans-attacked-swansea-28804135 Despite being more of a lover than a fighter, I could well imagine slapping an away fan if I encountered one a few yards from me celebrating a vital goal. Did this Swans fan get his just...

    Learning from others' mistakes

    National Conservatism

    This is going on in London at present. Their promotional spiel talks about national independence, national traditions, Christian values, the threat of both China abroad and Marxism at home. But best of all, because it's a bit of a mouthful, "National Conservatism" is being shortened. To...

    Beer O'clock

    Happy Friday, all. I generally prefer kicking the weekend off with summat a bit stronger but this 3.8% should mean I'm still making a degree of sense when Mrs Bear arrives home. It's alright, actually.

    The Bont - me and my dawg

    I've a few hours to kill in the Bont tomorrow, but I'll have my dog with me. I've been trying to establish if there are dog friendly cafes/pubs/shops in the area (I'll have my car) but Google hasn't really shed much light on options. It looks like we might be ok to mooch around the garden...
