  Bloke - The Cradle of skiing in central Europe
Bloke plateau, situated 43 kilometres south-east of Ljubljana lends its name to the so-called Bloke climate.

Bloke skis are one of the most important aspects of Slovene culture.

 A Bloke's Mum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Blokes like to make their handbrakes feel wanted, so before they decide to whip up a shepherd's pie treat, they ask their handbrake what they should put in it.
Bloke's Mums can also teach blokes a thing or two to help them in later life, especially in his single years, before he appoints a permanent handbrake.
On these occasions a bloke would, of course, politely shake his head and mention that that sort of thing really isn't his bag, thanks all the same.

 Aussie Bloke Hoax   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Claiming to be an astronomer with the inside scoop on the large dust cloud and three medium sized meteorites that he declared were on a collision course with the earth, the mysterious "Aussie Bloke" caused quite a stir on the unmoderated Godlikeproductions.com forum where he posted his "groundbreaking" revelations (pun intended).
But just as the discussion was reaching fever pitch, "Aussie Bloke," now calling himself "The Monitors" piped up and spoiled the party by claiming it was all a big hoax, a psychological operation called "Blind Skies", designed simply to test the gullibility of the average, supposedly intelligent, human.
As such we deduce that, despite their claims to naivete, the wide dissemination and discussion of "Aussie Bloke's" meteorite impact revelations, and the ultimate ridiculing of the people that believed them, was the real goal.

 Urban Dictionary: bloke
Bloke is simply a British slang term for 'man/guy', with perhaps slight connotations of masculinity, and used only in an informal setting.
Unlike 'guy' it is not normally used vocatively, as in 'hey you blokes'.
However, more specifically refers to the stereotypical view of a typical Australian man. The average bloke has a beer gut, a thick, bushy, stubble beard and very short hair, as to not have his masculinity questioned.

 The Dinkum Bloke
At last, his eye rests on the corner of the mantlepiece where lay several little mementos of her childhood - among them is the fairy book "The Prince and the Beggar Maid" - instantly, as by inspiration,a bold idea flashes into his mind.
He says: When the Woodcutter bloke confessed that his daughter was not really his child and she turned out to be the lost princess, the King and his Missus let the Prince, their son, marry her and everything in the garden was lovely.
The Gilchrists look at each other in amazement and there is a flicker of gladness on their faces, too - for here was the prospect of getting rid of the only impediment to the marriage of their son with the girl he loved.

 BLOKE - rotozaza
Playing downstairs at the Battersea Arts Centre, Rotozaza’s [Bloke] depended on the co-operation of a non-performer, selected beforehand by the company, who agrees to stand on stage and carry out any instructions given to him.
The "bloke" onstage is drilled through activities from smiling like Robert De Niro to chalking up a portrait of himself wearing a tutu.
Often it is very funny, sometimes it is downright disturbing to watch another human being take instruction so unquestioningly, and the show throws up nice queries about free will and the power of the audience to compel a performance out of whoever is placed in front of them.

 Billy Bragg : Bloke on Bloke - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
The quintessential folk-rocker Billy Bragg once said "the revolution is just a T-shirt away." He's a comic, he's a poet, and he keeps up with his sharp humor on the seven-song EP, Bloke on Bloke.
Dipping into 1996's William Bloke, his first record since 1991's Don't Try This at Home, he gets sentimental on "Sugardaddy." This soft lullaby-like tune is dreamy, holding high notes and shimmering with a drum machine.
In a similar vein, he samples the traditional song "Ye Jacobites" to complete the harkening notions on "Thatcherites." Assumingly classic, Bloke on Bloke is intelligent and quirky.

 Guy Fawkes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The burning on 5th November of an effigy of Fawkes, known as a "guy", led to the use of the word "guy" as a term for "a person of grotesque appearance," according to the Oxford English Dictionary.
Over time, the word evolved to become a general reference for a man, as in "some guy called for you." In the 20th century, under the influence of American popular culture, "guy" gradually replaced "fellow," "bloke," "chap" and other such words in many English-speaking countries.
In some dialects "you guys" has become the second person plural.
