A backward place

and a very forward cock of the pea variety......

A book on cocktails

A great gift for the wife this christmas - a book full of cock.

Best Western Peacock Hotel

A great place for a cocking convention!

Silcocks Farm Shop

From the Wealden Times again! A publication rife with cock.

Woodcocks

From The Wealden Times - found in the best western in Dunton green in Kent

Cognitive skills by Schroeder and Cockerill

A thoughtful cocking colleague had highlighted this capture for me on an earlier expedition. Very kind thank you! I really must get a camera that does close ups!

The Peacock Emporium

There's an argument for this book about Peacock shops to be submitted again on Cock of the Shops. Another bit of mischief in Colchester library.

No1 best selling cock

I'm beginning to think those mischevious librarians in Colchester library are starting to put these things out especially in preparation for my visits!

Poem by Fleur Adcock

La la la. Tim being all cultured again.

BMW cockpit

What is it with these Germans eh?

Great Peacock Moth and Peacock Butterfly

Tim's been skulking in the local library again. Didn't the restraining order cover that part of town?

Volkswagen cockpit

Do these Germans think they are rebuilding the Luftwaffe? It's not a cock pit you fools - those belong in Messerschmidts and Fockers not in small cheap family cars. Fools.

A cockney living in London - surely not?

Spotted in that most reliable of cock-spotting spots, the local charity shop. I didn't browse the book in detail, but I would hazard a wild guess that it will contain comical, warm-hearted stories about knees-ups, catterwauling around the old joanna, jellied eels and the blitz. Lovely. And something about how lovely those Kray Twins were really.

Tourist leaflet

Found in the Premieretravelholidaydayslodgeinn at Farnborough. What a nice plump cock!

French cookery book

From Tim's holiday to froggie land. I bet there are a few recipes with garlic in them.

Foyle's philavery

A new cocking colleague - can't remember who. Someone remind me!

Graham Hancock

Look next to Graham Gooch - it's Graham Hancock!

Picture of a Peacock

Discovered in a shelf unit full of tourist literature on the pier at Clacton.

Cockfighter

From a book of short stories by some Sri-Lankan bloke with a long name. The story was called cockfighter and it was all about a cockfighter who slept with his cocks.

Lots of Thomas Peacock

We love Peacock too.

Claud Cockburn

It will if you claw it.

Cornwell's Cockroaches

All you ever wanted to know about the humble cockroach. Much maligned - nice scuttly little creature. Not like those cock-tail beetles the little bas**ards.

Book on beetles

Another one from Greyfriars books in Colchester - describing the cock-tail beetle. Nasty little bugger!

Dictionary definitions of cock

Found in Greyfriars books in Colchester just in case you didn't know what a cock was.

Alfred Hitchcock

Why read about cock with the door locked? Be proud of being a cocking colleague. Read in the open.......

Oxford book of place names

Posted as a reference source for all you keen to join in potential cocking colleagues. Get a copy from your local library and mark down the things called cock in your area. Then go and capture them! There are places called cock all over the world - we can't get them all by ourselves.

Peacock cries

A book in Colchester library - looks like something a girl might read to me......

Lacock

Submitted by Timmy's Dad - god bless him; even the national trust are getting in on the act! Near Chippingham in Wiltshire.

Woodcock

Lovely bird the woodcock; apart from it sitting in a hedge all day making no noise and hiding. Being called cock should be something to celebrate - not hide in the undergrowth! Shame on you Mr Woodcock......

Michael Moorcock

Bird flu leaflet

Discovered whilst wandering aimlessly through Hong Kong airport waiting for a connection. What should you know about avian flu? Nothing; just take a snap of the cock and leave it at that...
