• 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

Sober October.

Nope. My birthday is in October so I don't even pretend that I'm going to do it.

I'll probably end up doing it my default. I don't tend to drink in the house and given the state of the world right now, finding myself out and about having a pint isn't top of my agenda :lol: Also been back calorie counting the last few weeks to shift the lockdown induced pounds :lol:

So you’ll be slender by November because drinking isn’t top of your agenda and you won’t be going on a bender?
 
I’m giving up drinking for a month.
Sorry , that came out wrong.
I’m giving up. Drinking for a month!

Punctuation eh...

And never forget that grammar is equally important

Been off the booze since the new Year, I had put a fair bit of weight on during November and December due to holidays and Christmas and was heavier than I had been for a while. I decided to get off the booze and used My Fitness Pal App to lose that weight, I was looking to lose nearly 2 stone to get back where I normally am.

However, due to lockdown I just kept off the booze and trained a fair bit more than I normally did, the weight came off fairly quickly, I was also not eating the constant supply of cakes and biscuits in work.

I have lost almost 4 stone and feel fitter than I have done for a long time. I can’t say I would go teetotal, but I can’t say I have thought I need a beer right now either.

To be honest booze hasn’t held the attraction for me it used to, and getting up to use the toilet during the night with a load of beer in me results in a crap nights sleep anyway. Drinks at home or the pub with friends is ok but that doesn’t look likely until after Whitsun and I can’t be arsed just having a beer for the sake of it.
 
As bad as vegans / vegetarians telling you that they are vegans / vegetarians.

Nobody cares about you brave soldiers giving up alcohol for a month.
 
Won’t happen. My Saturday swig is the highlight of my week. Beers, takeaway and a film with the wife, followed by some Spotify surfing till the early hours when she’s gone to bed. I fucking love Saturdays. I’m a simple man with simple pleasures.
