 The Hornet's Nest No 1
...Life's toughest battles are fought out daily in the silent chambers of our souls.
Fellow Stags, I cannot tell you how happy I am that I will be a regular contributor the best Club Cricket Website in the World. Also knowing that I can contribute positively on the lives of those who so desperately need my guidance, brings me as much joy.
(The Hornet, Richie Brown)
If there is one thing that I have learnt about the Stags, it is that this type of forum is well overdue. One whereby I can provide direction, and some meaning to some otherwise troubled souls. It is the battles in our souls that I will endeavour to conquer and with it, we shall climb the jagged cliff-face of life and stand on the summit in triumph.
It was probably not surprising that one of the first cries for help came from the returning Ed Zelma. Ed is torn between the manly look of leaving his body hair on, and resorting to the effeminate look of waxing his body. Ed, necessity is the mother of all inventions. Male body wax was invented for a reason, so use it. I can also see through this transparent plea by Eddie, I can tell that he is not going to stop at the waxing. If ever you are unsure of what is acceptable for men, look back a couple of years at what the fairer sex were engaging in. It is no coincidence that we men are now wearing sarongs, g strings, and nail polish. Good luck Ed, you have some awkward life decisions ahead of you.
 I was most relieved to have some correspondence from young Andrew Plummer. After spending a season in the Old Dart there was always the possibility of him not surviving (Sportsbet had Plums at a short price to eat himself to death). Plum's question was simple, asking himself "Why do I play for Gordon?" Well Plums, if I had a dollar for every time I heard somebody asking why you ended up at the club, I would probably own a dozen horses with Tiddles.

To answer your question though, I can't tell you why you play for the Stags, some things are better off just left alone. It is one of the great mysteries in the modern era, you are truly a once-in-a-generation player. It is rare to see a batsman given a standing ovation from a net session, yet on more than one occasion you brought the club to it's feet. My parting advice to you is, don't think...about anything.
In the upcoming Nest I provide Sammy Hinton with some social etiquette rules regarding girlfriends, and Jordy Holmes some local knowledge of the Stags home ground.
