The Tram People are Bawbags

Bawbag. A peculiarly Scottish term meaning scrotum. Or more to the point, a person who is a total scrotum. Bawbags (plural) refers to a group of people who are indeed scrotums. The people responsible for the Edinburgh Tram Network, currently being built across the city, fit into this description nicely.

For weeks now we’ve had trouble with the water in our flat. “Not us” they have said on numerous occasions when approached. But it definitely is them. They started some kind of machinery outside this morning and instantaneously our water went bonkers. Once again, when approached this morning they denied all knowledge. See. Bawbags.

I passed the work they are doing yesterday (outside of our flat is like a World War One trench network with loads of blokes in helmets standing in trenches looking at stuff) only to witness a bloke putting human remains into a LIDL carrier bag. I kid you not. A bloody great set of bones from a skeleton. One of them had a hi-visibility jacket with ‘Archeologist’ on the back but I mean, a LIDL carrier bag. No respect.

I should point out that the road they are digging up borders a cemetry and also the area is around where the old walls of Leith stood in the middle ages so it’s unlikely to be a recent murder victim but dignity in death, please.

So you see once again. Bawbags.
