• 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

The irony being, world war 1 started in Serbia
 
Wearing a poppy or not of whatever hue is a personal choice, which is just fine, but at this time of year anyone not wearing one, as a personal choice or statement is just a supreme arsehole in my opinion.

It's like stating the loss of life, on whatever side, and the suffering of countless millions in the first half of the last century is just so irrelevant to me that I cannot even be arsed to wear a tiny symbol of remembrance.

Just an opinion like, but I'd like to see some of the 'virtue signalling' non wearers up against my 1st world war, Graig Merthyr colliery fireman grandfather, who would have ripped them a new one...only metaphorically of course!

So you’re all for personal choice except that anyone exercising it is an asrehole. :lol:

I'm saying that it is absolutely fine that someone decides not to wear a poppy, but in reality I think they are a cnt!
