• 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

Fair, but if you go missing, for whatever reason I'll be keeping a look out for you kid, or for that matter any vulnerable person in my area.
I'll be keeping the alerts on instead of looking for hidden agendas if you don't mind 👍

The Uk system will not be used for that, missing persons and so on.

It will be for severe weather alerts, wildfires floods, or an impending missile strike, which I would rather not know about anyway.

... and missing person alerts mate, as in Australia, Germany and the USA.
More countries will sign up to this when thier Infrastructure catches up.
But if its not for you just turn off the notifications, no big deal ...

Thanks.. I have read a bit further and it does look like it could be used for a lot more things, kidnaps, escaped prisoners, Bombs, shut windows if a tyre factory is ablaze, and so on.

It honestly is the first time I've read that, even the bloody ITN News at ten said it was for warnings of wildfires, and flooding.

Thanks again.

Made me jump, I was ambling though our garden and my phone started making this awful noise i'd never heard before, took it out of my pocket and it stopped and then this awful weedy American voice started talking. I knew about the test but hadn't taken any notice of when it was happening. :lol:

Why does everything have to be yanko wanko? Surprised it wasn’t some gangsta jerk in a back to front baseball bat and sneakers drinking Starbucks and rapping.

I don’t hate Americans per se, of course, but I hate the American culture we have adopted like brain dead morons for over 25 years. Maybe we can have an emergency alert about that, and an alert that we have a dickless techbro cardigan as PM following two psycho wasters, and that our country is, appositely, Donald Ducked.
