Self Conscious



My partner asked me to pass her my camera, so I did. Looking through my files later on, I came across this picture I didn't recognise of some old geezer, looking out to sea, with what looked awfully like my bag slung over his shoulder.
O wad some Power the giftie gie us
To see oursels as ithers see us!
It wad frae mony a blunder free us,
An' foolish notion:
What airs in dress an' gait wad lea'e us,
An' ev'n devotion!
Robert Burns, To A Louse: On Seeing One on a Lady's Bonnet, at Church, 1786

    The St George's Cross in that Union flag doesn't have wide enough bars (should be one-fifth of the depth of the fly)

    Martyn,

    Isn't that a signal that means the pier cafe has run out of tea bags?
