[Fraser+Jupiter+Micah+Lex+Aureliana]

Just wanted to let you all know that after talking to some of my colleagues, I'm going to be leaving off scrimmaging with Montrose. It was pointed out to me that this could give an appearance of favouritism, and I don't want to get the team in any trouble. I'll still be around to practise with you privately, Lex and Micah, but you'll have to find another beater for team scrimmages. Sorry.

	We still on for that backyard camping adventure with the lads? [Mel/Fraser] You good? Do I need to back off as well? It's not like MG can do the arithmancy if it doesn't add up to 150, anyway... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm good. I just need to make a more visible show of separating myself from management. You saw MG chew my arse out the other day. If he does that all year, someone will demand an investigation. I'll come up clean because I am, but the trouble's not worth it.

I don't even know what he's so narked about. It's not like he has anything to complain about. He won the Classic and he's undefeated in his first year. He got a bad turnaround, but it happens.

He hasn't made a statement one way or another on either of the rock-the-boat things I'm involved in, and he'd give his good arm to get my version of the standings made official, because they're 5000% better for teams that actually win (which is the point), so I don't see him coming after me.

If I miss something, watch my back, aye?

It's crazy, they're clearly ahead and the schedule hasn't hurt them and the damn season is almost half over and they're undefeated, so unless they decide to start throwing games, they'll make the playoffs.

Your mother doesn't care that much what the record is, as long as they look good in the playoffs and the Neep. A little drama getting there just puts fans in stands...

	I know all that. It's probably whatever wand-waving contest he's got going with his cousin at Portree that's got thorns growing out of his broom. He's not going to forget who you are. You work for Mum. I just have a share of the team in trust. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	New coaches are always a pain. Who was the coach when you were the administrator? Was it before or after ol' Crankykilt ManNaughton retired? I dread the day when we have to have board meetings and decide as a family how to run the team. I hope your Mother is in the top chair for a long time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was there for his last couple of years. Awful. Puts MG in perspective. I'm glad his admin is his cousin because I can't imagine what it would be like for an admin he didn't get on with. We're never going to do that. Mum is going to anoint ~~you~~ a successor and then we're going to go on as we do now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And Murdina kept talking about how he won games. So if your Mother is anything like her mother, there's a lot of slack for a winning coach. You see how Graham Urquhart is suddenly dragging Alec everywhere? It's like he's got to make it clear who his replacement will be. I wonder if he had a health scare.

	You notice I haven't bothered to say anything to Mum. Heh, that'd also explain why Peggy looks like she ate a lemon every time I see her lately. Hope Alec is ready for the big league. Has he even done anything quid-related? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Fraser & Mel razorfraser 2017-11-25 03:32 am UTC (link)
	That's wise. Fix it at your level, where it's easy. Oh, your Mum noticed it. She introduced him to Jupiter. Don't think I didn't hear about that for a week... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fraser & Mel yaxels 2017-11-25 03:34 am UTC (link)
	Wait, aren't Alec and Peggy your cousins? Like as close and you and me? Or Lex and Micah? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Fraser & Mel razorfraser 2017-11-25 04:43 am UTC (link)
	Umm.. Grandma Fenella is a Fraser, so Mum is first cousins with their Mum, so we're second cousins, more like the MacDougals. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Fraser & Mel razorfraser 2017-11-25 04:43 am UTC (link)
	And don't think Jupiter didn't point that out, too... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fraser & Mel yaxels 2017-11-25 04:45 am UTC (link)
	She never gets to say another word to me about Lex and Micah is all I'm saying. (Reply to this) (Parent)
