• 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

So I very much enjoy being able to watch Glamorgan on YouTube these days. Settle myself in for the day I do. Happy as a pig in effluent. Occasionally though, I have to pop it on mute to undertake fatherly duties. Every now and then the little girl goes on a right one. Waffling on about all and sundry. I’m able to ignore most of it but there are certain pertinent points for which she wants absolute attention.

Looking up at the moon the other day she tells me that’s where vooshing stones come from. Say that again I said, puzzled, both by what she was on about and the fact that David Lloyd played so well but got out to such an ‘effluent’ ball, to receive the same response. ‘Daddy, the vooshing stones start by the moon and go all the way to earth’. By this point I’d switched off from the cricket and had proceeded to Google the apparent nonsense coming out of her mouth.

Then it hit me. ‘Do you mean asteroids, comets or meteors’, showing her a photo on my phone. ‘Yes that’s it daddy, that’s a vooshing stone cos it goes voosh from the sky down to the earth’. After laughing for a while I realised that it made perfect logical sense if you think about it. Marvelling at how clever she is at 4 she then followed it up with ‘but I don’t know why they always end up down the back of our toilet’

I s**t you not

Can’t believe the things kids come out with. More sense than most adults. Brilliant.
