• 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

Been looking at Phillips Perfect Beer Draft machine, some decent pale ales and IPA's on offer, fancy trying the Madri but they don't do it, you can get 5 ltr keg's.

You’d be better going for the Reed model

Wow, Where did you get this footage of Max, he was just like that the night me and him went for beers in Swansea one Saturday night, poor sap ended up have lau come pick him up in the end :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
I Just had a quick glance at the Perfect Draught device, and I just cannot see why boys are buying it....al I see is...

1. A very heavy initial purchase cost of c. £275.00

2. Costs of the kegs bring the price of a pint to over £3.10...

So yes, the pints are a little cheaper than a local pub, or Workies, you miss all the social interaction, which is why people drink in pubs in the first place....

I'll keep on buying my cans and bottles....

I've got the Perfect Draft. Kegs have gone up massively in recent times, but if you get the short date kegs (usually with 6 weeks to best before) you can usually get 2 for 50 or so, which turns into less with the 5 quid returns. Works out better then.

The beer is often excellent though, and if you compare like with like in terms of quality it works out comparable to the supermarket stuff. If you're not arsed then it's not worth the bother though.

I might be getting rid of mine after the last three kegs I have go. It is becoming a bit of a luxury item now.

Like I said, I'm not able to get out much, over a weekend these last months and I'm fed up of bottle ales so thinking of trying this idea out. Having a few jars on a Saturday evening takes the stress out of a working mans life :lol:

Is it only the 6litre kegs you can use in them Ux, the Phillips one I've been looking at, on Beer Hawks site.

She was picking me up anyway Wolfie as you know, but don't let the truth get in the way of a good old yarn.

I admit to being a tad under the weather that night, but I've more than a few memories of you being in a few states and shocking ones to, you soppy trout :lol:
