• 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

Yes, but it's only the peasants who are struggling and 'we' don't care about them.
 
I’m not knocking anyone who wants to do it, it’s their choice and good luck to them, but I absolutely fail to understand the thought processes of those who are willing to queue for 20+ hours to walk past the closed coffin of someone the vast majority of them have never met. And at about 15 feet distance too it seems. Each to their own. And now the BBC is live streaming, presumably for the next five days, continuous footage of said people walking past said closed coffin. For your televisual entertainment. Get the series link set folks you don’t wanna miss a moment.

I’ll be honest, it’s all starting to feel a bit North Korean.

Don't say that, they'll have you arrested ffs.
 
Well I think it's a superb showing of respect for The Queen. And I'm pretty sure that not all who are filing past to show their respect are all comfortably off, probably many will be on the bones of their arses and still find time to show a bit of respect and class.

By showing respect to someone who paid 10 million plus to keep a paedo outa jail. To the victims of said paedo, that is paying true respect/class.
And she's probably not even in the fckn coffin!
 
I feel a tad sorry for the Queens immediate family, the new King especially he's had no time to grieve for his Mother, there's been far to much expected of him since the Queen passed, he's lost both parents in the last 18 months. Nothing unusual about that unfortunately I know, but he's had little time to grieve this last week.
 
My Covid jab on Monday has been postponed to sometime in the future as has my wife’s dental appointment. Food banks in Bournemouth (and no doubt elsewhere) are closing on Monday. People at Center Parks were told that they must leave the site on Monday and return on Tuesday. After the understandable outcry they were then told they could stay in the Park but must remain in their chalets and after another outcry they can now wander around the Park. Heathrow Airport cancelled flights today in case they upset the coffin procession.

When will this absurdity end?

Sky news was interviewing a woman yesterday, when the coffin was on display in Edinburgh she went around in the queue 7 times taking 16 hours to do so.
 
Britain from my perspective appears to be turning into a grisly theme park which you'd expect to find in an episode of 'The League of Gentlemen'.
