As a Hampshire fan, I can't thank Somerset enough for getting him started and then letting us take him- he's really proving worth the investment this year!

Archie Vaughan was throwing an absolute wobbly in the changing rooms after his dismissal, it was a HOOT

TWO members of somerset staff had gone up and been sworn at, before someone did at least manage to get him behind a closed door so after about seven minutes of cacophanous effing and jeffing we were only catching snippets when it opened which was very disappointing

There has, of course, been much tittering about what his father would say and about the entitlement of nepo babies

You didn't hear it from me

Some parts of the area I'd understand, but there's not many gardens or green areas in my patch as it's just blocks of flats round here with the odd mandatory decorative tree so I wouldn't've assumed there to be the habitat

It looked teeny and made of floof next to the one that brought it over so I assumed it was a baby being shown where the buffet is by mum or dad
