• 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.

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.

And texting me. 🤣

I've been a miserable f*cker for at least 10 years now Blazey boy.

I just dont get adult males obsession with alcohol.

If you're going to drink it, f*ck up and drink it. If you're going to give it up, give it up

The photos people post of themselves with a pint, especially the airport one :roll:

You can understand teenagers doing, it's all new for them, but adults :?

Banana Splits ?
 
No, I don't fancy it, having a drink, bit of footy, bit of music, I look forward to it, I have cut down a considerable amount, from where I was a few months ago though.
 
Took about a second to decide no effing chance, like Mr C Friday night is my highlight of the week after a stressful week i work, booze andna good old bit of rock n roll via youtube
 
Just a quick update 2 weeks in, Sober October going very well...👍
 
For a long while I've restricted my drinking to weekends only. And by weekends I mean "finish work at 3pm then dash to the fridge while my PC is still shutting down".

Anyway, as a consequence of having put on 0.5KG last week I opted for a dry weekend.

This will have been my first dry weekend in, I dunno, at least 25 years.

I was dreading it yet I really enjoyed that feeling of alertness. I felt much more energetic. And I definitely felt a lot more "affectionate" towards Mrs Bear.

Since I first developed a taste for beer I've equated teetotalism with life not being worth living. Right now I'm reconsidering.

(Christ, can't believe I'm saying this, but it's true).
