• 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

When I was coming to the end of my Swansea Sunday league " career" (at the age of 39) I was affectionately know as the "Brickie" 🙈

What's your least favourite nickname?

Fess up lads 😎
 
I used to work with a lovely guy years ago, a welder, struck up a weld one day and got blown clean off a structure due to "foul gas" buildup in an unvented cylinder...
Spent four months in the burns unit in Chepstow and another 6 months on rehabilitation...
Was forever known as Burnie when he returned to work.
He loved it, gallows humour 😄

Apparently it was like an old army barracks (according to Burnie)

Yeah it was.
That young girl from Swansea that had horrific burns Caroline Tucker was in there the same time as me,I saw her down the stadium about five years ago.
Brave girl.
 
Used to work with this fella who was the most laid back worker I have ever seen. He was a fitter and whenever a priority machine would break down he would take his time getting there (coffee machine, a little snack and another coffee). We gave him the name "Sweat rash" :lol:

We used to have to play draughts in the occupational therapy department up there to get your fingers working and you had to really concentrate playing Caz because if you looked away for a second a couple of your draughts would have disappeared. :lol:
