• We have today (22nd April) confirmed the closure of JackArmy.net on 31st May. Our reasons are varied but after a twenty-five year stint at the heart of the online Swansea City community, the time is right for us to bow out.

Nightmare!
Saying that, clearing out stuff is another thing I'm more tolerant about, years ago I'd just go in like a bull in a china shop and chuck everything into a skip, nowadays I go through everything with a fine tooth comb in case I accidentally throw out my Swans v Scunthorpe United ticket stub circa 1987... 👀
Skips! I’m less tolerant of those bastards. £340 ffs.

There's loads of nostalgic things there and its difficult to cut yourself off from it, but it comes to a point as to where you have to stop etc, just ain't got the space to store things.
 
Sleep patterns influence my attitude and behaviour significantly. If I am well rested then I’m pretty calm about most things, like Jaxs I will queue without complaint, sit in a dental surgery waiting room and not curse, handle traffic jams with some calmness, and so on. But by Christ it’s a different story if I’m tired. Have been like this since I was a nipper; my mum always had me in bed early as she said I was a nuisance after a late night.

I am dreading the time, when it comes.

Aye, it's because they have to "dispose of the rubbish legally at landfill".

Meanwhile, back in the day, my stash of porn mags were dumped all over Penlan common, along with my BT and Radio Rental reminder overdue letters, along with 20 empty cans of Norsman larger.

Thank fuk recycling laws have been tighted up!...

Angry from Treboeth 😡
