( GUY FAWKES NIGHT AT THE URQUHARTS’ )

Man, after karaoke night and the whole not being able to invite people back to mine to party on I was raring to go on getting my own proper place, but I swear Scrim and I have looked at every rental in northern Scotland and every single one of them won't do. My needs are not ginormous! I just want room to turn around, a bathroom that doesn't look like I'd be dirtier after using it, and electricity so I can blast Madonna and Britney as necessary. Oh, and so I can get a television, because it turns out the blokes down the pub don't mind if you switch off the footy now and then but not actually every night. I am missing episodes, what if I never find out what Nick said to--

Anyway, I cannot find a place. Well, I did find one or two places that were maaaaybe not awful, but they were only for one. I am not really an only-for-one sort of girl. So... ugh. I dunno what I do next. Look further out, I guess? Edinburgh, Glasgow... London, even?

Oh, also, thanks to my wonderful Priders for that epic karaoke night. I can't remember if I said on the night but I had a blast, youse are the best. Let's do it again sometime, I wanna do Christina Aguilera.

This just in, Banchory is really damn boring. Note to self, quests and adventures are best planned when sober. Or if they are not planned sober they need to be completed while not sober either.

Ernie, I blame you.

[PRIDE PLAYERS & STAFF]

All right little lions, some updates and a request on further insight.

1. Our lovely captain MacDonald won't be playing in the Fall Classic. I am as utterly heartbroken as all of you. Trust me. If Cav can work through some legality, we should have a reasonable (and fucking awesome) replacement. I'll let him update you on that one. Least I speak before anything is done and dusted.

And Maggie can give you the full story on her prognosis.

Meanwhile, I would like to trial some change ups. Scrimmy, if you're keen, I would love to see how you can hold in a few scrimmages playing beater, because hell if they let me play beater, why not you? (Which is also to say David -- we might need you for redemption part one.)

2. New temp field captain. I have some thoughts, but I will also put it out to you lot to see what you think.

3. MOST IMPORTANTLY: I want all your insight and observations on Montrose. I fully intend to destroy them and Merc. This is why I am bringing the Moose against Campbell, but I'll probably need more than that, so lend me your brains.

An exciting week of training upcoming. Plus Bonfire night. Team bonding abounds!
