• 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

Says he's had enough and is ready to put his feet up when he's finished writing his final Jack Reacher novel which he started in September (actually being co-written with his brother, who intends to carry on the franchise).
He reckons he's sold around 200 million books worldwide and he's made about a dollar royalty on each of them, so he's not short of a bob or two.
Before I read any of them, I confess I had a bit of a book snob attitude, you know, shallow American hero easily beats all the villians, etc.
How wrong I was. I'm an addict now and generally can't put them down once I start one. It's read in two days, three at most.
Shame Tom Cruise made a mockery of the character by thinking he could play him in the movies, but at least that wrong has been righted in the current television series with an actor more appropriate for the role. Tom Cruise comes up to his waist, and that's standing on his orange box.
 
Books , ah yes , remember those , things people bought before the internet , never read the books but thought the reacher films were ok, ok for tom cruise films anyway , at least they were watchable unlike that mission impossible garbage
 
Embarking on the final chapter of his literary journey, Lee Child's decision to craft his last book before retiring is a poignant moment for literature enthusiasts like myself. His ability to weave gripping narratives, intricate plots, and iconic characters has left an indelible mark on the literary landscape. As a student passionate about writing, witnessing a master like Child bidding adieu encourages aspiring wordsmiths like me to persist in our creative endeavors. It's a testament to the enduring power of storytelling. If you're eager to delve into the world of compelling narratives, this link (https://essaypro.cоm/buy-term-paper) is a gateway to explore and appreciate the craft of storytelling even further.

I quite enjoy the Reacher films, quite like Cruise as well, Mark Wahlberg films are decent to although there's a lot of shooty shooty stuff.

Watched the first two John Wick then realised just what is the fecking point and won't watch another absolute crap in my opinion.

Mark Wahlberg action films are decent while the John Wick movies are absolute crap is certainly an opinion. Maybe watch Wahlberg in Max Payne and come back to me... ;)
