• 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

    The Benefits System

    I’m not sure I would agree that it’s ‘nothing’ if you own your own house for a single person. It’d comfortably cover council tax, electricity, gas, broadband, food with a a bit to spare as disposal income each month. Your last point is spot on but the reality is that the support is available...

    The Benefits System

    Of course, it wasn’t meant as a criticism. But in the current economic climate, with an ageing population and a health and social care system on its knees then ‘expecting’ the state pension to be any more than £1k per month is unrealistic IMO.

    The Benefits System

    Yep, assuming you’re not a single pensioner living in a 5 bed house (or in some areas of the South East of England), although you’d get a significant discount on Council Tax if that’s the case and clearly most in that situation would have other savings or other pensions. IFS website “Around...

    The Benefits System

    Of the 75% of pensioners that own their homes outright I’d imagine the vast majority in the UK could quite comfortably live on £1k a month as a single pensioner or £2k per month as a couple.

    Rugby Cup Final .

    Bordeaux the best team to watch in Europe by a country mile over the last 3 seasons.

    Southampton

    Hull for me today. Although they have had 5 seasons in the PL already, which is 3 more than a team bigger than Barcelona, so they can’t be that small a club 🤣

    They’ve really not helped themselves through this whole process https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cdepxek43gyo

    Ospreys

    Yeah I’m sure it is. Does seem strange to have a derby the week before the internationals. Not the easiest to put together a fixture list with so many travel constraints tbf though, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Ospreys asked for some derbies pre-Christmas to try and get some decent...

    Fair play to Emery, his record in this competition is incredible. About to win his 5th final 👏
