• 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

The worst is men who start a sentence with “I mean”. Particularly prevalent on the interweb. Or men that say “creased” again mostly online.
That is equally as bad as people who begin to answer questions with “yes no”. Ange Postecoglou does it a lot.
 
The contagion of people saying "would of / could of / must of" - drives me nuts. Not only do they say it wrong they also write it wrong.

Roundabouts. Simple really. Keep to the left. Until you want to turn- indicate. Do not keep to middle and cause carnage.

I only came across the verbalised version of this recently. Until then I'd naively assumed it was just restricted to the written form. Sadly not.

It's a good lesson in why correcting spelling and grammar is important. It sounds even more stupid when you hear it said.
 
When you park your car in a sparsely populated car park away from any other vehicles. You come back later and the car park is still only half full but your car is surrounded by other vehicles, some of them so close that it's difficult to actually get into your car.

Which leads to door dents. They drive me nuts, even when the car isn’t mine. You have a lovely big door panel with a pin point dent bang in the middle; annoys me far, far more than it probably should.

Yes. Annoying and happens quite a lot. I think people do it on purpose because the other car is usually a wreck anyway.

I would say most car parks, and the spaces they provide are not fit for purpose. Just look at the council car parks, high street and lower Strand, even if every car is parked perfectly it’s still very tight when opening doors. But obviously that’s no excuse for some plum dinking another’s door.

I agree. I drive my wife nuts when looking for an end bay. She clearly doesn’t reach the same level of annoyance as me when it comes to dents in doors.

The most hideous car park off all is in Llansamlet where they have Iceland and Home Bargains, they just park all shapes there. It must be one of the only places where I seriously consider where to park, which is normally at the furthest end, IMO anyone that doesn’t give a shit for another persons property is the lowest of the low.
