Rest of My Life

Oct 30th, 2008 | By Bock | Category: Music

Cheesy video, great song.
Here’s Rilo Kiley, one of my favourite bands, in uncharacteristically sentimental mood.  I think this one might appeal more to the girls, but hey, behind it all I’m a big old softy. (Kind of — just don’t push your luck).



The House Children

Oct 30th, 2008 | By Bock | Category: Religion, Scandal

Mount St Vincent’s is a girl’s school in Limerick, owned by the Sisters of Mercy order.   Many of their schools around the country used to have orphanages attached to them, and the children from these orphanages attended school along with the local children.
But they were treated very differently.
Somebody called Christy wrote to me [...]



The Machines Revolt

Oct 28th, 2008 | By Bock | Category: My life

Here we go again.  Once more, the machines show their hatred for me.
Out of the goodness of my heart, and because I’m an all-round decent guy, as you well know, I volunteered to build a foundation for a friend of mine who recently got one of those horrible little steel sheds you have to assemble [...]

Andrew-James ‘AJ’ Hanlon Fundraiser

Oct 28th, 2008 | By Bock | Category: Crime, Scandal

Unless you’ve only started visiting here in the last few weeks, you’ll know something about Andrew Hanlon, an Irish kid murdered in Oregon, and the injustices that followed.
Andrew’s family will not let this killing be whitewashed, in spite of official stonewalling and obstruction in Oregon, but they need money to fight on.
Andrew’s cousins [...]



Are Russell Brand And Jonathan Ross A Pair Of Cowardly Pricks?

Oct 28th, 2008 | By Bock | Category: Bock rant, media

I don’t know.  What do you think?
Is Russell Brand a cowardly prick and is Jonathan Ross another cowardly prick? It seems they were both on a radio show, and they left a message on an old man’s phone containing some sort of sexual innuendo about his grand-daughter, the cheeky devils!

I don’t know, but somehow [...]



Cheney — The Parallel President

Oct 27th, 2008 | By Bock | Category: Humour, politics

I see this fella Barton Gellmann has written a book about Cheney and I hope he exposes the bastard for the lying, murdering swine he is.  A vicious bully who set up a parallel presidency to launch an illegal assault on a sovereign State which had never attacked the United States.  Of course, it’s never [...]



Scunthorpe United

Oct 27th, 2008 | By Bock | Category: Sport, scunthorpe, soccer

Scunthorpe won again and I can’t understand it.  Going on past experience, they should have started to lose by now, but they haven’t.  Long after they should be losing due to extreme hangovers, they’ve continued to win, beating Millwall 3-2 on Saturday.
This is worrying.  The natural order of things is overthrown.  Where will it all [...]
