• 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

That line is a magnificent feat of engineering. It will also have cost you a fraction of what a similar UK train journey would cost.

Yes, I think it cost us 26€ each for the whole journey.

Madness isn't it? I'm going up to Manchester on Sunday and again the following Friday. There's three of us the first time and two the second trip. I looked at the train as would rather not do that drive twice in a week, but the prices were insane. Far cheaper to drive, even accounting for petrol, parking, etc.

(I did check months in advance as well, so not just expensive because I left it late)

My mate had same dilemma for a Manchester trip, then he saw the train prices so chose to take the car.

That said, some of the issue is a regional or train operating company thing. I’ve got three and a half hours on a train in Scotland next week, £27 standard class or £42 first class with complementary food and (alcoholic) drinks. Zero chance of such a fare with TfW or GWR.

I'm a rather plain eater but I could eat that it looks bloody lovely.

We had shop bought meatballs tonight they were ok, but I'm not a fan of meatballs.

Here’s a recipe for you to pass on to Mrs Max, Max.

And if you can, leave it in the fridge for 24 hours before eating it. This is the nearest thing I’ve tried to what Pego has been eating in Bologna.
