Who is Bloke?
I am new to TubeNet. I keep reading "bloke this and bloke that". Is Bloke a real person or just a figurative concoction? In any case Block seems to know a lot. Thanks. Bigsum

Oh, Joy! I just purchased my first Sellmansberger rim, cup and shank. Did I get enough pieces?

Re: Who is Bloke?
"Bloke" is an old Australian colloquial word meaning "guy" in the US. Examples: Who is this bloke called "Bloke"? What does this bloke look like? Is he a good bloke? "Bloke" may have perhaps visited Australia at some time and picked up the expression, there again the bloke may not have. This post comes from a bloke in Australia.

Re: Who is Bloke?
I saw this on the main screen - is this bloke's secret identity? Is he a reincarnation? Maybe a limited edition Conn tuba (or a copy of one?)
