Tommy was the guy u wanted to be like..oh wow that's Tommy T.....i envy him....but once you get into your life groove and take a look at yourself from the outside you realize that Tommy is a scummy piece of toe cheese. No wonder he's seeking a foot bath.....and then pat and Ian bash the controller ...love it carry on boys......
