• 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

I won’t go into detail here but my wife is on the advisory board of a brilliant charity/organisation.
It is their 60th anniversary later this year and there will be a series of events to celebrate it.
My wife is very heavily involved in organising one of these events and wrote to the CEO’s PA of a multi billion pound conglomerate asking if they’d be interested in sponsoring the event or even making a donation towards the opening night of the event.

They’ve just offered a £10 voucher. 🤬

I’m fucking speechless. 😂😂😂
 
Following on from this we were in a restaurant earlier and a tv celebrity walked in with their partner and elderly aunt.
(They didn’t ask me for a photo so I ignored them)
They sat down nearby and my wife said “after they’ve had their food I’m going to speak to them about the charity.”
My wife went over after they’d had nosh and asked if she could have a chat? They tapped the empty seat next to them and said “sit down.”
She told them all about the 60th anniversary celebrations of the charity and they replied with “how can I get involved?”
She told them to contact HQ and they could get all the details,they then said to my wife in a teasing kind of way “haven’t you got an email address then”
My wife replied yes and they said “come on then let’s have it.”
They picked their phone up and my wife recited her email addy,I thought they were putting it in their notes or summin.
They then looked up and said “I’ve sent you an email so you now have my email address and I’ve included my phone number too.”
We’ve got home and there’s another email off them with their home address saying that it’s for any hard copies of correspondence.

In the opposite way I’m fucking speechless. 😂😂😂

That’s a nice story. So many of these so called celebs are pompous ignorant @@@@ it’s really good to see that there are some out there who genuinely care and are willing to help out.
