• 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

Anybody else got a cold?

It’s probably got nothing to do with natural sources of vitamin c. We eat shed loads of fruit (to excess - my lad will eat 10 apples a day, plus grapes, oranges and anything else we throw at him, no problem), but get plenty of colds.

My mother-in-law in her 70s has never had a headache. Not a single one of any severity. Some people are just wired differently.
Yeah, but are you eating a kiwi a day?
 
I’ve got a cold today. Itchy right eye and nostril, sneezing every five minutes and feeling like I’m on the edge of a chesty cough.
 
Bugger. I've just got to the end of a 'cold' I'd had for about 10 days. I get very few but they usually last about 3-4 days so this very recent one was definitely anomalous. Seeing your positive covid test got me thinking so I've just been googling the current variants, one of which is JN.1, a mutation from the Omicron branch of variants which accounts for about 2/3 of currently active UK covid cases. The symptoms sound just like the 'cold' I've had - but then so do common cold symptoms of course. If it was covid JN.1, the timeline would suggest I could have picked it up on a flight to and from Edinburgh on 2nd April. On the plus side, my Mrs hasn't got it which is very important due to her own ongoing medical mess and as my symptoms have cleared up, doing a Covid test now would almost certainly prove nothing so we will never know. 🤔
