• 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

What a broadcaster. The way that he dealt with the announcement yesterday was incredible.

Arise, Sir Huw.

The man must be shagged.

He put a huge shift in for the PM debacle and then this landed upon him
 
I read yesterday that the Queen had requested for Huw Edwards to be the person to present the news of her death, not sure if that's true or not.

who did she pick for ITV and Channel 4?
 
actually did anyone see the ITV news reporter? completely caught on the hop and didn't know what to say when reporting the death

I didn't see that, but it looks like Huw had time to pop home and pick up his funeral suit and black tie. Either that or he always takes them to work with him, just in case.

They keep the clothes at the studio in preparation.
 
I believe or read somewhere plans are in place for events like this , pre - planned TV and media reactions are ready to be aired .

There are some excellent broadcasters out there who do not need the over the top and hysteria to relay the situation to the viewers .

Sometimes the BBC can get it right .
 
Compare this to the gravitas of Shepherd, Reid et al. on GMB the following morning - had this on for a few mins and was expecting Andy Peters to rock up with Edd the Duck.

There's a big storage cupboard with all that stuff in. It's also where they keep Nicholas Witchell.

For all the grief they get from both sides of the political divide, the BBC is a fantastic broadcaster.
