Just landed from Fuerteventura. Screaming baby two rows back: The. Entire. Flight. Noise cancelling headphones can only do so much.

It's 02:30-ish. My train to Manchester Piccadilly is 04:07. Home to bed by, 11-ish, if lucky.

"It was worth it", is what I'll say on the other side of sleep.

Nice little city break in Copenhagen; a lovely, friendly place.

I only took two cameras and two lenses; only used one camera and one lens! I'm learning. 😅

I haven't yet edited RAWs taken from Edinburgh last August - so don't get any hopes up; unless by miracle a Lightroom hyper-focus kicks-in... 😜

It's all gone tits-up...
Etymology of the Phrase “Gone Tits-Up” The phrase “gone tits-up” is a British slang expression that means something has gone wrong or has failed. The origin of this phrase is unclear, but there are several theories: One possible explanation is that the phrase comes from the idea of a woman’s breasts (tits) being upright, and when something “goes tits-up,” it means that everything is turned upside down or has gone awry. Another theory suggests that the phrase may have originated in the military, where “tits-up” was used to describe a plane that had crashed or was in a nose-up position, indicating a failure or disaster. A third theory proposes that the phrase may be related to the idea of a bird, such as a titmouse, flying upwards or “going tits-up” in a chaotic or unpredictable manner. Regardless of its origin, the phrase “gone tits-up” is a common expression in British slang, and is often used to describe a situation that has gone wrong or has failed in a dramatic or unexpected way. It’s worth noting that this phrase is not typically used in formal or professional settings, and is generally considered to be informal or colloquial.

What about tit, as in 'you silly tit', 'I was made to look like a right tit', I hear you ask? Well, it turns out it has nothing to do with the other type of tit either...
Etymology of the Word “Tit” The word “tit” has a complex and multifaceted history. In the context of the phrase “silly tit,” the word “tit” is being used as a colloquialism or a term of endearment, similar to “fool” or “idiot.” This usage is believed to have originated in the 17th century, when “tit” was used as a shortened form of “titmouse,” a type of small bird known for its foolish or timid behavior. Over time, the term “tit” took on a broader range of meanings, including a reference to a woman’s breast. This usage is thought to have originated in the 19th century, and is believed to be related to the idea of a small, rounded shape. It’s worth noting that the term “tit” has been used in a variety of contexts, including as a term of endearment, a insult, and a reference to a woman’s breast. The meaning and connotation of the word can vary greatly depending on the context in which it is used. In the case of the phrase “silly tit,” the word “tit” is being used in a lighthearted and playful way, similar to “silly goose” or “silly fool.” It is not necessarily related to the anatomical meaning of the word, but rather is being used as a colloquialism to convey a sense of affection or teasing.

I was curious what the 'boobie' in 'boobie trap' meant: turns out a boobie is an idiot, and nothing to do with the other boobie...
Meaning of Booby Trap A booby trap is called a “booby trap” due to the word “booby,” which originally referred to a foolish or slow-witted person. The term “booby” can be traced back to the Spanish word “bobo,” meaning “stupid, daft, naïve, simple, fool, idiot, clown, funny man, one who is easily cheated,” and similar pejorative terms. Over time, the term “booby trap” evolved to describe a device or setup intended to harm or surprise a person who is unsuspecting or unwary, thus fitting the description of a “foolish” or “stupid” individual who might fall into such a trap. The term also has a connection to the seabird known as the booby, which is known for being clumsy and slow on land, making it easy to catch. This association with the bird’s docile and easily caught nature further reinforces the idea of a trap for the unsuspecting or unwary.

I highly recommend this game.
The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe is an expanded re-imagining of 2013's The Stanley Parable. You will play as Stanley, and you will not play as Stanley. You will make a choice, and you will become powerless. You are not here to win. The Stanley Parable is a game that plays you.
