Using Google I discovered that there are two meanings of the term 'Bloke' :
1. geezer: a man who is (usually) old and/or eccentric (wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn)
2. "Bloke" is a slang term for "man," much like "guy" or "dude." It is primarily used in Britain, Australia and New Zealand, and is believed to derive from Shelta. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloke)
A Google search described Shelta is a language spoken by parts of the Irish Traveller people.
Well there we have it! I think the second definition is more suitable for me, however some of us might be a little eccentric so I will let you make up your mind on which 'Bloke' you think you are.
