Thomas is not a Goth


Michele's son Thomas is a mean Trivial Pursuit player, but that's only one of his many talents. He's fifteen, plays the electric guitar in a band, keeps ferrets and is currently sailing through school. He lives in Loftus, a former mining village on the North Yorkshire coast and goes to a local school. I wish him luck there, and hope he sticks it out long enough to get a firm grounding before bursting out onto the world at large.
When Aodan was informed (wrongly, as it turned out) that Thomas was a Goth, he said he imagined him living in a bedroom with black-painted walls and sleeping in a coffin. He doesn't. Aodan came home from school one day this week and announced he had an imaginary friend...whose name also happened to be Thomas.
