In York Piccadilly, having just changed from a route 27 working, is Transbus Dart Plaxton Pointer 2 SN55HTY working route 24 to gibberish. The destination is strange on this one, as it only does this with the 24/26/27 routes, but is completely fine with every other service worked from Selby depot - I'd like to see 260 or 262 work these York routes to see if the destination on those does the same thing. What makes this funnier is the destination actually scrolls - who is that for?! One possible reason for this destination cockup is that it was programmed using the setting for a Dot Matrix flipdot type display - however this is unlikely as I don't believe Selby actually has any buses with flipdot displays left.
If you go up Longlands Fell, on the left, you can wander the tops of all the others without much difficulty. First time I went up there I ticked off 4 or 5 Wainwrights in one go. The pointy one is Knott, which is the highest. I think I need to do that group on my next trip with Kiri.
o'Skiddaw region is an area of wild and unfrequented moorland to the north of Skiddaw and Blencathra. Tops in this region include High Pike, Carrock Fell, Brae Fell, Meal Fell, The Knott, Longlands Fell, Great Cockup, Great Sca Fell and Great Calva. The fell's slopes are mostly smooth, gentle, and covered in grass, with a few deep ravines.
Here shooting more golf instruction all week in not-so-sunny-Spain, and after an annoying day being mucked around by the sun dodging behind clouds every 30 seconds, and continually waiting for old duffers, sorry, golfers to get a bloody move on, I started getting a bit cavalier.
I wasn't using my awesome new softbox, as I needed a bit more punch, and there was quite a breeze up. I assumed that with only a flashgun on the stand I wouldn't need the help of The quietest assistant I've ever had.
It would appear I was wrong, as the above photo would prove. The blur on the flashgun was NOT added in photoshop.
Luckily my fairly new SB900 was intact, the only thing to suffer was the sync cable, which was quickly repaired with the help of a leatherman. It did make me swear like a trooper for a good 30 seconds or so.
Also see here, for what my flashguns have to put up with.
The Guard appear to be wearing Beaver Hats. This brings to mind the song "Cock Up Your Beaver" by Robert Burns, written in 1792. It is written in Scottish dialect and the beaver refers to a kind of hat.
Cock Up Your Beaver
When first my brave Johnie lad came to this town,
He had a blue bonnet that wanted the crown,
But now he has gotten a hat and a feather -
Hey, brave Johnie lad, cock up your beaver!
Cock up your beaver, and cock it fu' sprush!
We'll over the border and gie them a brush:
There's somebody there we'll teach better behavior -
Hey, brave Johnie lad, cock up your beaver!
Robert Burns 1792
Slight cock-up on BBC News 24 tonight as we saw a couple of seconds of Microsoft Outlook after a bit of "citizen journalism". It was like that bit in The Truman Show when he sees through the lift - we were dead excited.

This video is only short, as it is simply to show the scrolling destination of madness on this bus.
Ferguson Terminal 4 Aug 2015
Made a complete cockup of this shot, sorry. Trying to take the photo quickly as I'm not supposed to take then here and didn't check all my settings, Set on shutter priority on a dark dull day. Till next time.
One in sun, one in the shadow of a snow shower; Meal Fell and Great Cockup from the edge of Great Sca Fell's summit plateau in the northern Lake District.

Pressure mounts on Fitzgibbon over SAS pay scandal
"... Chief of Defence Force Angus Houston has told a Senate committee the matter is being fixed. 'I would like to assure the committee that during the remediation period, no soldier is to be financially disadvantaged,' he said. ..."
Good leaders, lead by example. While Houston & the Defence Minister are still being paid, troopers are not. How long would this problem be around if it was a *pay stuffup* for those with power &/or rank?
What a cockup!
a bit later
"... But if they were OVERPAID it was OK to keep it? I dont think so ..."
Being overpaid small amounts over long periods means a systematic stuff-up. Not recognising the problem, then using a blunt hammer to immediately recover funds is both a morale problem and an indicator of poor command. The issue isn't who's not being paid. It could be a cook, driver or pencil pusher. The issue is the problem is not being resolved quickly and fairly. The fact it is sasr means comeback is difficult if deployed. Hardly the kind of message you want to send - you can do the *dirty work*, sorry about the *pay*.
the next day
"... But the wife of an RAAF pilot says her husband has encountered a similar problem.
Janet, who did not want to give her last name, says they received a letter in January demanding that they pay back almost $13,000 in allowances within about 10 days.
"He was actually flying combat missions over Iraq and Afghanistan," she said. ..."
Another article comes out, this time it's RAAF pilots pay being docked. This isn't a glitch but a systematic problem. Cf Defence pay bungle spreads to Air Force

minolta autocord with ilford xp2 (expired 1997). stand development 1+100 rodinal (20c). scanned v600.
these type of vessals were a stop gap in the container cockup,pity they werent around when I went to sea individual cabins,and much better living quarters all round look at the living quarters on the older ones it was taking up too much space,but the older Port line ships were the better looking ships
I saw this Asda advertisment around many bus stops today and I am sure they have got it wrong, can you spot the cock-up?
Taken with a Vivitar "Ultra Wide and Slim" camera, this cheap simple camera has developed something of a cult following, it has a 22mm lens and a fixed shutter speed.
Shot on Maco Eagle developed in Rodinal 1:25 for 12 minutes.
I messed this up fine style, the lid came off the developong tank shortly after I poured the developer in! Although I replaced it immediately, severe fogging was inevitable, I've done what I can to rescue the negs in the scanning, but the results are pretty poor.

I noticed that most photos of Kingfishers show a beautiful little bird sitting on a twig, often eating a fish. But in reality most people are more likely to just see a blur of blue and orange flashing low to the ground or stream, just like this one here. So have resisted the traditional shot for this one instead so those people know it was a Kingfisher they saw... :)

Livingston -v- Dundee May 2005.
Dundee drew and were relegated. Livi used an allegedly ineligible player.
Plenty of seats inside but some cockup meant Dundee travelling fans had to watch from outside the ground. Tam McManus. Caballero also played.
as suggested by shallwin :) If you are a hen, you probably will fall for him at first sight.

Somehow, this cock is better looking than my cock ( I mean my chicken)
Hmmm...somehow cocks look better covered in feathers
This one is often seen in the company of a couple of nice looking hens.

my sister and her family flew out to bali on sunday. my oldest niece, krysty, had things to do, so she flew out yesterday morning to join them. she had two hours to kill in sydney so mum said she'd go along to the airport and spend some time with her (and to collect the bananas my sister had bought for mum - $5kg up north compared to $13-14kg here in sydney). i'm on holidays so i decided to join them. big mistake!
mum was up at 4.30am to get the train/bus to my place. i got up at 5.30am to be ready to meet mum downstairs and get the 6.50am bus to the airport to be there at 7.30am (when krysty should have landed and been transferred to the international terminal).
krysty and my other niece's friend came down to sydney from coolangatta and because they did the immigration / check in thing there, when they transferred from the domestic flight to the international terminal in sydney, it was done internally - meaning they were already inside the customs vacuum so could not come back out to the real world... i did question this with my mum on monday night but she assured me that my sister had assured her it would all be ok.
musn't grumble - i like going to the airport and watching the people come and go :)

This is how Yahoo hancrafts SERPs. Sorry about re-posting this mut I just fear that the original might suddenly disappear from Flickr. This leak is another cock-up from Yahoo.
This is a cockup that turned up on my hard drive after doing an automatic merge of two tone-mapped HDRs where one had somehow got inverted. I liked it so much I decided to show everyone.

This is my latest bit of tinkery. I made 4 pin hole cameras out of photographic paper middles (made of very thick cardboard and capped with two plastic ends) and this is test number 4. They were all shot onto Ilford RC Multigrade (gloss unfortunately).
The first three of the day were all shot on location somewhere else but having come home and developed them, they were all very overexposed making me think my hole was bigger than I first thought. So after my first three cockups I produced this one with a 10 second exposure from the roof of my house. I then took a photo of it on my digital camera and inverted it in Photoshop, nothing else done to it.
Not a good day today: when our daughter wanted to use the car this morning... it was gone.
After the WHAT came the obvious sadness: it is a bit like losing a friend. There are terrible things going on in t he world today. So, yes, this will latre be filed under minor mishaps an cockups but still: we're not laughing.
And yes we will replace it no matter what with something with wheels on at least. And no EV, sorry greens, not on my watch.
Give it back, please?
sometimes a light leak can be disastrous - hopefully no one was walking along this jetty when it struck.

Interesting composition this! (otherwise known as a cockup - using portrait shutter release button I occidentally pressed it against the fence!)
This smartly dressed guy is no ordinary cock, he's a male Red Jungle Fowl A super cock among the cocks. He wears a bright red comb and wattle, strong, confident, sturdy, cocky, resilient and undoubtedly the king of cocks.
His long sharp spur can easily inflict serious injuries to any other cock who is cock enough to mess around with his hen. He would stop at nothing until all challenger cocks are entirely annihilated. Sometimes even non-cock subjects deem threatening are targeted including human. There are reports of this fucker vigorously attack and destroy a M1 Abrams tank because of its menacing gun turret pointing straight at him. He even managed to bring down a fully armed F15 fighter jet flying at 15,000ft on its way to a sortie in Iraq because there is pic of a horny cock painted at the underside of its starboard wing. Fortunately the unwary pilot manage to bail out successfully. Only to find himself being attacked and shredded to pieces once landed on the ground where the cock is waiting anxiously.
Wish my cock (I mean chicken) is as gorgeous as this cock :)
