I take it from this that 'bollocks' isn't in common usage then?

nope.

[ QUOTE ]
'the bollocks' (shortening of 'the dog's bollocks'== very good, best)

This should be easy for people here to remember, given it means the same thing as "the nuts".

not really, it's more use like this:

Patrick del Poker Grande: this new Coheed and Cambria CD is the [dog's] bollocks!

this phrasing wouldn't really work with "the nuts"

nor would you throw down your AA and yell "i've got the bollocks!"

they're 2 different beasts.

diebitter, do you agree? and by the way, where in england are you located?
