I woke up this morning with another boiled head.
A week ago, the Hangar Queen arrived on my doorstep and since then it’s been non-stop carousing and generally acting the maggot, and I’m no longer a young man. Obviously when HQ arrived, we had to go out to Sniffle’s house for wine and beer and food. [...]
Well, I had a fucking ball anyway, and I met loads of bastards who turn out to be not such bastards when you meet them face to face.
The bastards.
Here are some of them. If I forgot anyone, I’m really sorry, but it was late and I had a lot to drink. In fact, we all [...]
OK. I have yet another reason for going to Cork, apart from wild partying, hedonistic excess and witty, urbane, yet challenging discourse.
I’m a finalist in the Current Affairs category. Who knew?
The Leonard Cohen report also made it to the final in the Best Post category.
I suppose I should say something appropriate.
Woo-hooo!!
[...]
I’ve made up my mind.
The longlists are out now, and Bock is still there in two categories: Humour and News/Current Affairs.
I can only be in one category for the next round of judging, and I have to pick the category I prefer, so I need a bit of help from you. Which category do you think I should stay [...]
The long list for the Best Post category is out.
Bock has been long-listed for these three:
Auschwitz
Leonard Cohen in Dublin
and
PC World Sold Me A Piece Of Shit
Yeah. That’s fair enough. Can’t complain too much.
Have a look at the rest of the nominated posts HERE.
OK. I’m away to catch an eastbound train and meet a crowd of bastards flying in from Armorica.
After that, we have the annual bloggers’ drunken brawl and God-knows-what-else.
If I can get to a computer I’ll keep you a little bit up to date, but things might be fairly slack around here for a day or [...]
Well that’s a relief. I was beginning to worry that I’d wasted €18 in the charity shop buying that jacket, shirt and worn-but-comfortable pair of secondhand shoes.
Bock, much to my surprise, seems to have survived the shredding and remains in the two shortlists: Best Blog and Most Humorous Post, though for the life of [...]
The long list is out now. Imagine all these bastards in one room, glaring at each other. Imagine that. Fuckin hell, I might have to bring an even larger contingent of associates than last year, for personal safety, you understand.
Here you go :-
Twenty Major
Beaut.ie
Planning Dispatch by Garry Miley
The Waiting Game
Bock The Robber
Lozenge
Nialler9
UnaRocks
Fustar
On The Record

As days lengthen and tempers shorten, we huddle in ragged, mutant clusters and one to another half-mutter the eternal question:
Well?
For too long, answer came there none until today, when Mulley took pity and offered us relief of sorts, using the venerable Irish tradition of The Leak.
Bock is in the long-list for best political blog and [...]
