• 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

A new 19-hour weather warning has just been issued for parts of North Wales.

It is getting a bit silly with these alerts, isn't it? 🤷‍♂️
It’s partly an arse covering activity.

It is also inevitable that not all local authorities will be on top of gritting, this alert serves as a “I told you so”.

My mate up in Builth texted me this morning to say that they had a 2" to 3" of snow fall overnight, the Wye at Hereford is just over 4mtrs above summer level and falling at moment, but when the snow at Builth melts it'll rise again, cancelled out trip to Hereford this weekend last night, I'll phone around Thursday afternoon and if it looks promising I may still go up Friday, if not it could be Tenby or Saundersfoot for a couple of nights.
 
43 years ago tonight we had the worst snowfall for decades,I can remember walking home to Baglan from The Troubadour in Port Talbot in it.
I stayed at my grandparents house, which is one street away from the beach in Sandfields, and the snow drifted up to the underside of their window. I remember my parents having to walk down to collect me, then walking back home again.

It even snowed in London that January. I’d just moved there and it was misery.

👍👍 The lady in the Gelato hut next to the pizzeria on the main square?
That’s the place. Quite a nice buzz in the square as there was a little market going on. It was 18°c this afternoon when I got out of the taxi in Bari airport. Minus two in Heathrow five hours later, was fishing my jacket out of the bag and scraping ice off the car.
