• 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

Have you got to the third book in that series (End of Watch)? It veers far more into traditional King territory. I really enjoyed all three.
Its always the way, I have apparantly given up at just the wrong point. I may give it whirl. I do have it, I just noped on it. I have so many books to read. I am currently endeavoring to finish all his short story collections, He is a master of that form.(although I might add that the short story "The Monkey" which I have just finished, and which was recently made into a movie, was surprisingly lacklustre. )
 
Looks like they chnaged the film significantly for the Monkey. One of those rariries when its may actually be better. The Mist Movie was one of those, although the film was mostly faithful.

The ending of the film is soul destroyingly different from the book.
 
I think King himself has said he thinks the film ending is better than what he wrote.
There is a standing joke about Kings endings, referenced in his cameo in the film version of IT.(Part 2) I have to say I didnt agree until I read Revival. For 99% of that book I was saying to myself this is his best book ever and one of the best books by anyone I ever read, and then the last few paged... the greatest WTF moment in my literary experience. EDIT: I read into it a little. I think i missed much of the detail. When I just read an explanation of what happened, it seems more coherant, and way scarier.

Call the fucking Midwife is back tonight. I hate that show with every fibre of my being.
 
A kerfuffle on twitter between a woman from Newport who lives in Dubai, and a chap from Swansea who lives in Newport. Supporting cast from Swansea and Cardiff. Seems to have fizzled out, for now I’m guessing.

So going to try Me Mercedes again on Netflix. Not something I’d normally watch and don’t think much of it so far.
