Iâ€™d like to see my very own white rose county take a lead from our kiwi friends and jettison the phoenix in favour of the Yorkshire Flat Caps.

I read that as “Lollygobblers”. Eeek.

Matt Lucas, of Little Britain fame, once asked me if he could lick my lolly. True story.

I refused, politely.

As a fellow Lancashire man (even though technically my home town is now in Greater Manchester, but we won’t wear any of that) can I make a suggestion for Lancashire Lobbygobblers.

It has the two-fold bebfit of sounding a bit funny and having a local reference that most people will not understand.

Durham Doodahs who I think are officially the crapest twenty20 team? I want a Middlesex v Durham final – it would look good / pretty. For their poor strip – The Surrey Shitstains, they should not be allowed progress beyond the group stage even if they played well.

I have seen some children nearly taken out by flying bottles at the oval at the end of finals day [take some ****heads and add 11 hours drinking…….]

The Hampshire Haters are the kids that did the team bus in at the Southgate twenty20 last year.

Don’t know about the Lankys and lemurs but Stephen Harmison bears more than a passing resemblance to a sifaka! [Verreaux’s of course] I’ll see if I can find the pictures….

I’m not sure which county I support. I’m from Staffordshire and they’re rubbish, but maybe I should stick up for them. Sidney Barnes was from here, so I guess we can be the Staffordshire Sidneys. Awesome. Do minor counties count? Just to cover my back, I now live in Leicester and pop down to Grace Road sometimes. The Leicestershire Linekers would be a good name, if they wanted to increase their gates by getting some football fans in.

I suppose it would have to be the Kent Keys. Let’s face it, what could be better for Kent fans than 11 Rob Keys?

Given their new, revolting coloured T20 kit, I’m encouraged to call Surrey ‘Surrey Sultanas’. Personally, I’d like to see them dress more like pirates (you know, bandana, sabre and all) and be called the ‘Surrey Swashbucklers’. Who knows, maybe wearing an eye patch wouldn’t actually make them perform any worse than they did yesterday?

In a fit of experimentation I decided to sample a bunch of "classic" (read: horrible) foods recently, and spam was one of my stops. It's truly repulsive. It smells more like catfood than catfood does, and has the texture of a pig made entirely of gristle that's been genetically spliced with a foam-rubber mattress and then minced. I was going to make a blog about all the things I was eating, but then I found someone else had already done it, and had eaten far more adventurous things like spore-filled sweetcorn kernels, so I gave up. Steve, don't eat it!

Durham nickname – ‘Hampshire Haters’ – after they stole that Championship game on Monday.

We can now be libelous for a whole week and no one can stop us. I’m going first:

KC: Sorry, I just asked out of interest.

Mahinda: The idea of cricket minus beer is quite repugnant but I do understand why they do it. Twenty 20 is starting to attract idiots like a corpse attracts flies. It can be quite irritating to take your kids to watch a bit of cricket and to be couped up with a bunch of tossers who have to eff and blind every time someone biffs it over the rope and Tina Turner crackles through the shite stage monitors on the boundary edge.

Maybe Tina Turner free stands would be the answer.
