Friday Blog Love

Yes, it's back! With group hugs abounding and flowers in its hair the Friday Blog Love tradition is back on.

And with those poor trams going undercarriage-up resulting in the most finger pointing at Edinburgh Council since the 1976 'Which Way to the Beach' contest, there is only one subject in town that deserves some tender loving care.

Yes, the trams. Princes Street has ground to a halt and a somewhat lost looking empty tram is on display to jump-start some public enthusiasm for them (or maybe it's an ironic work of modern art perhaps). As a young Edinburgh lass said on Princes St today, "that tram looks pish". Yes, quite.

So what to do? How can the blogosphere right this wrong save from washing young girls' mouths out with Listerine?

Well, perhaps it is worth considering the plan of sponsoring trams? If people can have seats named after them in Sports stadiums or picnic benches named after them in parks, why not do the same for these cash-guzzling trams?

We could have the 'Jenners Juggernaut' for the trendy urbanites or the 'Goodwin Glider' with free use for all pensioners (Fred has to spend his money somehow)

Heck, if the Scottish blogosphere dug deep we could have our very own 'Bloggers Express' running back and forth from RBS to Ocean Terminal everyday. Maybe even stick an RSS feed in there somewhere.

I've just found a fiver in my jeans pocket. Who's with me!?


Enjoy the weekend, free from any concern that you'll get hit by a bus on Princes St. (Watch out for stranded trams though.)
