Sunday is our first rugby match. We play the Murrayfield Wanderers at Murrayfield, at 2pm (1400). Yes, that's right, MURRAYfield, the home of Scottish Rugby. In true Murray fashion, I'm starting at 8-man. Oh, the irony. (Note: inside UCLA Rugby joke.) I'm not nervous..... yet.
And in news slightly related to the previous discussion of neds, I saw this article online: "Bobbies on the beat to double in blitz on city centre violence"
I had to read it, since one of the things I love about this city is how safe I feel walking around late at night. On several occasions I've made my way home alone from a night out, and felt way less threatened than in any American city I've been in. To be honest, the article is kind of dry and boring, so just skim it and read the best part -- the comments afterwards. Don't read all of 'em, just 2-9, 12, 13, 15, 16, 24, 25, 29, 31, 32, and 34. They're short, and either insightful or amusing. (Or, best of all, written in Scots.)
