• 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

I didn't even realise pancreas removal was a thing - now, never mind forty years ago when his was removed.
 
Seemed like a very modest and likeable chap when he appeared as a guest on 'Gone Fishing' a few years ago. Sounded like he'd had major organs removed and living on borrowed time.
Not a fan of his music, but each to their own.
RIP Chris.
 
I detest his Driving Home song, it used to haunt / upset me on my drive home from work in Newport every bastard Christmas. Still hate hearing it today.
Only that Mariah Carey abomination and Whammaggeddon runs it close. Makes me physically gag.

RIP Chris.

Nothing wrong Maria Careys All I want for Christmas or Whams last Christmas, Chris Rea's Driving home for christmas is class and after getting stuck in poxy traffic today its spot on.

What's your Christmas favourite song en ?

This is another favourite The Fairytale of New York, by the Pogues.

Crosby, Bush.Wood and John.

Hell of a band.

Kate Bush is the only one I actually like. The others are merely tolerable.

I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day - Wizzard.
 
Crimbo songs ought to be retired 20 years after their release date. For 20 years. Then they can be played again for a further 20 years, and so on. Keeps things fresh.

See also Bohemian Rhapsody.

Or any of Queen’s adolescent tripe.

Edit. Boo ECB not biting

Loved Elkie Brooks cover of ''Fool if you think it's over''
Absolutely Great song, And a few year back I would have actually put money on, that it was a 70's song by Elkie Brooks, I just listened to it, 5 mins ago, and for me it just sounds like a 70's song, but Wiki informs she released it 1982. For some reason, I don't even remember back in the day, Chris Rea actually singing it, always thought it was Elkie Brooks

R.I.P Chris Rea.
