Aug 25th, 2008 | By Bock | Category: Politics

I’ve just been contacted by a Mystery Caller with a great plan.
Bock, he said.  It’s about time we nailed these politicians.
Oh hello, Mystery Caller, I replied.  I didn’t recognise your voice there for a minute.
No, he said.  It’s electronically mysterised.
I’m a busy man, I told him. What do you want?
I want to nail the [...]



Not A Bad Weekend At All, Considering …

Aug 25th, 2008 | By Bock | Category: My life

You know, I’d have to say things worked out pretty well really, in the end, despite a disappointing start to the weekend, which I won’t go into.
The Nut’s party on Friday night was great but nobody was ever going to survive it unscathed.  I’m glad to say that the boat race on Saturday was cancelled [...]

Bullet was at the Metallica gig the other night, and he did well; he even managed to get a pit pass for himself.
Excellent.  Well done Bullet.  But haven’t the kids got it so easy these days?  Christ Almighty, I was well into my eighties before I ever got to attend a major rock gig like [...]

What kind of a genius would you say Charlotte Mulhall is?
This is a woman who was convicted, with her sister, of brutally murdering a man by stabbing him dozens of times and beating him over the head with a hammer.  They then cut him into pieces before throwing the body parts into a canal, apart [...]

Liam Brady is described as stable and lucid after being rushed to hospital.
Brady lucid?  I can see why they called an ambulance.



I’m Getting Old. My Hip Hurts Me.

Aug 21st, 2008 | By Bock | Category: Humour, health

Back-pain is fine.
Everybody gets back-pain.  Athletes get back-pain.  Footballers. 
Back-pain doesn’t label you, it’s just a fact of life.
Hip pain is a whole different kettle of lobsters though.  Hip pain is a real milestone in the decrepitude stakes.  That’s one you won’t quickly admit to colleagues or friends.
I have a pain in my hip.
No.  Sorry.  [...]
