• 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

When new people start doing your job and you find yourself telling them that you’ve been doing this for 25 years and you realise they weren’t born then, and you don’t understand a word they say, and when you realise you can’t play football anymore because it hurts when you kick a ball, the list goes on….

In training for a new job last fortnight and I'm the oldest by a fair margin in the group and they all taking the piss cause I'm a tad deaf, wore my earing aids today, but they still took the piss, its not easy learning new skills as you get older well as old as me, especially when you got to navigate a computer :shock: :lol:

Fantastic! Congratulations on going for and getting a new job. Although personally I'd ditch the earring until they got to know you a bit better.

While unwell the other week having to deliver a bundle of soiled clothing and bedding after losing control of my arsepipe to the poor missus whilst uttering the now incredibly popular phrase within my friendship group “I’m sorry, I didn’t know, I was asleep, it was my bum, the bastard thing won’t stop”

Well I feel this is a forum to share. I’ve got worse btw!
 
I found myself Tutting at a souped up loud car yesterday in Burry Port.
A far older lady walked by me and said "He'll be dead soon"

Glasses next for me as reading small print at arms length no longer works. Wearing glasses seems an easier option than an arm extension operation.

I've just had to give in and get my first pair of specs last week. Long distance though. No idea when I'm supposed to wear them mind :lol:
