• 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

Clap for key workers on a Thursday night.

Apparently it’s a scandal that trick or treating isn’t going to be allowed because the poor kids have had such a tough time amd missed out on so much.

I'm just looking forward to being home on Saturday evening without having to turn the lights out and pretend that we are out :lol:

The worst thing that has been spawned from the NHS clapping is the endless pages that appear on social media suggesting clapping for various things

The community page around here alone has one mad woman who so far in the past month has suggested

1. A community cap for trick or treat before giving all the kids sweets
2. A 6pm standing on your door CHristmas Eve to sing carols to remind Santa we are still here
3. An 11am clap on Remembrance Sunday
4. A clap this Thursday to protest against the lockdown (ironic)

None of these I have made up

Lol. Thankfully I haven’t seen anything like that. Ever feel like the world is going nuts?!

Gone I think would be more apt

Scandal is a bit strong but it's definitely a shame. The kids have missed out on a lot this past 8 months.

My son's football and swimming lessons have obviously gone. No soft play or playgroup for my daughter to attend and no birthday parties at all.

Bonfire night and Xmas parades already cancelled. So it's been a shite few months for the kids too.

It is a bit of a shame. Funny how people have had different experiences though. We've had swimming continue since start-August (training, not lessons) and quite a few birthday parties over the summer and since term started, just restricted to their class bubbles.

It's a weird time, no arguments from me there, although kids are pretty resilient. I'm more worried about the time my proto-teenagers are spending on computer games and YouTube. They're turning into zombies.

A shame, yes. But if you at some of the reactions on social media you’d swear they’d cancelled Christmas.

Imagine the reaction when they do. :lol:

Bloody Muslims. Oh hang on a minute .......
