• 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

Llandrindod is Wales freak capital.

Honestly Prof, taking into account its the middle of the afternoon, it's an eye opener, different world doesn't even come close
 
Cold weather vehicle testing inside the Arctic Circle - a one reindeer town and miles from any decent civilisation, no bars or shops, dark all day, basic accommodation, and no internet (in those days). Avoid Jakkvik.

As you may know I live in the NW -a town called Neston on the southern part of Wirral (the bit in Cheshire).
We have driven through there about 100 times in the last 18 years visiting family in South Wales. If you go through in the morning it looks a nice small town. In the afternoon it's like the living dead. My wife picked up on it first.
 
I went there in the early 90's, was working on a job close by and was staying over. We couldn't find anything open, no pubs, no chip shop, no Chinese, nothing. Thought it was a really odd place.
 
Blanding in Utah. Small city handily placed for National monuments in the area.

Two restaurants both of which close at 8pm and don’t serve alcohol and a subway which never seems to be open.
 
Massive drug issue in "Llandod".

The most boring place I've endured is Pembroke Dock.

That's weird, I was going to say the same place and then read your post. Stopped there on way to Moab after Monument Valley. There was just a bowling alley which was in a shop, it was a dry town at the time. Went in but decided not to stay. Drove back a few miles to get fuel in the dark and this car "followed us". Pulled in at fuel station but nobody got out of it. Went in to pay for fuel and there were guns and knives for sale if I remember right, it was like being in a Spielberg film. Got back to our hotel and put a chair up against our door. Glad to get out of there next morning.
