Dballer 'Bollox' generally means your balls, cock or both. Or your can call someone a ballox much like you'd call someone a prick.

ie The Sex Pistols "Never mind the ballox", meaning never mind the prick !.

Yeah, blocks run differently in every city... some it's 7, some it's 4, some it's 10 to the mile... but there are always short blocks and long ones.
