• 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 Queen.

Bitta perspective here please. Yes itll be sad ( kind of) but wer talking bout a woman who's never cooked a meal in her life/wiped her own arse and had medical treatments that our loved ones who've passed on could have only dreamt of. A life of incredible privilege where literally no one would disagree with.
Incoming..?..no problem.

I don’t think anyone’s gone over the top but she was a decent servant, all things considered.

Long live the king and all that.

Not everyone is a royalist.

I’m not, but it’s news, duck out if you’re not interested. 👍🏻
 
Isn’t it enough for now to express sympathy at the death of an old woman?

Nor is everyone a decent human being , evidently.

She served with dignity. Nothing wrong with a bit of respect.

You need to think this through fella. She was born into it and from the day she became queen her life was not her own. Would you have liked to live your life that way?

Indeed. I have no strong feelings about the monarchy and I’m certainly no republican but I don’t understand why people’s first instinct these days is to just be plain nasty. Modern Britain I suppose.

Wasn't even born into it persay, her father only took over because his brother chucked it in

Beautifully put.
 
I'm certainly no royalist, but (a) she has been there my whole life and (b) she always conducted her duties with great dignity, unlike many of her family. She will be missed.
 
And if nothing else at the very least we’re watching history unfold before our eyes. Britain will change in many ways, most of them small and subtle enough that most won’t notice. But change it will.

Carrying a picture of Charles in my wallet is going to be something.

You don't have to be a Royalist, to feel sympathy for her family
