All true unfortunately for poor Bock. It was always great fun playing snooker with the poor divil!

Thanks for the laugh Bock. I had the very same experiences, but now I'm happy in my bacon-flavoured t-shirt and hamburger-coloured jeans.

BOCK, have to tell u, there are males of the species that talk of colours in this manner too; believe it or not! Some time back I enquired of a male shop assistant in a menswear shop in this home town about poloneck jumpers or similar, he told me straight off the bat that he had poloneck ganzies but only in one shade and that was 'buiscuit'!! This is a true story!!!

Yes. I sometimes have a problem when the snooker balls are old and faded. Those murky colours confuse me, especially in poor light or if I'm blind drunk.

Bock, am also colour blind. I was asked to leave the Sluagh Muiri in case I brought plague to foreign ports with my inadequate flag signals. Some of the clothes that I have bought over the years have been choice, as for my prowess on the snooker tables of Limerick, legendary. A cold sweat comes over me when I think of those circles made up of different coloured dots.

You're very humourous. Thank you for the smile.

My heart is so heavy with the Gaza postings. I don't know what to say. I don't know what to do. Just tears rolling down. Where are you, God?

Thank you, Bock, for showing it as it is. And for letting people speak.
