• 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

It's summer. It should be dry. Instead of moaning about needing rain on here, complain to Dwr Cymru about the leaks they have all over their network and why they're not patching them up.

:P

Not defending the water companies, but listening to LBC today, it seems as water usage increases in hot weather the pressure in the pipes increases which causes the leaks, and there's no easy way of predicting where these might happen. Also as the ground dries and shrinks the movement can cause pipes to fracture. If leaks were just being left for weeks on end that clearly would be unacceptable.

Apparently the government has charged the water companies with fixing leaks but their targets are based on the number of fixes rather than allowing the companies to fix a smaller number of higher volume leaks.

Leaks happen all year round, and some are left to leak for months, or even years. Don't get confused between a leaking pipe and a burst pipe.

All the fat sweaty c*nts can stop complaining it’s too warm now.

The gardens need it I've been informed. The gardens will be under water in a couple of months time. And to all those whinging about the weather, wait till your energy bills drop on the mat in January or February, you will be praying for the beautiful sunshine we have had over the last few weeks.

Now listen up, regardless of whatever you or jackfroth have to say, look at another prospective, no rain means limited water available for wildlife, get it now? In all my years I haven't seen a fox cunning enough to turn an outside tap on to quench it's thirst... clear enough 👌
