• 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

Yiu said they’d turned it into a party political broadcast so how can the party be irrelevant? But then, I keep forgetting you’re thick as mince. My mistake.

I must admit, I'm quite surprised you said that.

I picture myself standing in a queue, and having a conversation the way this one went, if I said Dr Who had turned into a party political broadcast, and somebody asked which one, to say I would be a bit WTH? would be an understatement,

I feel it would be an uphill struggle to explain to the person who asked that question, in the context it was used, why it was ok.

So surely you can see that it was a daft thing to say? If it was a fair comparison you’d be able to explain why it was similar to a particular party with ease?

I can't remember to be honest? Although once a female appeared, it was time to switch off me. She was not fit to tie the laces of Tom Baker and David Tennant, and well it all got a bit silly after that, so I suppose just for that example, I would say people employed in roles, they are not suited for, just to tick some silly boxes. I hope that's not coming across as misogynistic, because I would say the same thing if a male took the lead part in a movie about Florence Nightingale.

Funny you mention David Tennant, because every episode starring Tennant as the Doctor had Russell T Davies as the showrunner and the show under his stewardship was extremely focused on LGBTQ+ issues. Strange that you found that not to be too 'woke', but a woman playing Doctor Who was too much for you. I'm guessing you're happy it's going to be a man again with the 15th Dr being played by Ncuti Gatwa?

I don't think it's daft at all. I would think if I said to a hundred people, I think Dr Who is more like a party political broadcast, they would know exactly what I was trying to get across, I would be very surprised if some body actually said 'which party are you referring to?'

But if it’s like a party political broadcast, for which party? Labour? Tories? Libdems? Otherwise the point makes no sense at all.

Your question posed on here says different, never mind a hundred people.

Surely you can see that?

It might not make sense to you, but that doesn't mean it's non sensical, when I get a chance I will try it out, I would strongly think, they would know what I was getting at, and I'll be honest I'd be horrified if somebody replied which party?

There is no need to ask which party, it's a bit like watching a football game, and somebody says, gosh it's like a bloody rugby match this, you wouldn't say whose playing who, because it's irrelevant.

What you actually mean is that it’s too “politically correct” for your liking, which is something people have been saying about it for decades. Usually raving righties like yourself who resent that the world is changing in ways they don’t understand or don’t like. The last Doctor was a woman. The next one will be a black man. Last night a transgender character who’s also mixed race) was centre stage and also a female wheelchair user. I’m guessing you didn’t watch it otherwise you’d have fainted through the sheer shock of not seeing straight white men all over the screen. :lol:

I said But they ruined a good show, and put in a party political broadcast instead, What difference does it make? It's the same blinking thing. I'll take the pepsi challenge with this question, and I would think I would be lucky to get 2 asking which party?

Yes, that's what i was saying, and I think the term they have turned it into a party political broadcast illustrates that.

It doesn’t so you’re wrong on both counts. Not an unfamiliar situation for you to be in I know.

Well I think it's time to say, we will have to agree to disagree! Because I know one million percent, that the majority of people, would fully understand, what I was saying.
