Tom's Bio

I'm Tom and I'm 14 years old and live in Manchester, England. Due to the fact I'm 14 I haven't really done to much so I can either make stuff up or tell you the truth, but being as I think I'm a pretty kind guy I won't lie to you. Instead I'll write everything that you probably don't give a damn about (but if that's true why would you be reading this?).
Let's get started, my favourite sports are football (what you guys call soccer) and I support Liverpool FC (watch Liverpool v AC Milan's 2005 Champions league final and you'll be able to say you've watched the greatest match of all time). My other favourite sport is cricket, the few Americans who have actually heard of it will probably thinks it's baseballs ugly brother (or something like that) but watch any of the 2005 Ashes tests between England and Australia and you'll think otherwise.
I love music and I'm into indie (you'll probably never heard of it unless you're from the UK) and my favourite bands are The Strokes, The Killers and Oasis and my favourite song is 'Don't look back into the sun' by the Libertines and 'Last Nite' by the Strokes.
My favourite TV shows are LOST, Family Guy, The Simpsons (well before it went crap) and Smallville (well before it went crap) and I haven't decided what I want to do when I leave school (something to do with business maybe?).
I've loved wrestling since I was a kid and my favourite PPV is Royal Rumble 2000 and my favourite match is HBK v HHH at Summerslam 02, I'll write about wrestling most as i'm passionate about it and it's probably the easiest to complain about.
Well there you have it, there's other things I could go on about but chances are you'd probably fall asleep (shame) but that's pretty much my life. I'm not going to sit here and beg you to read my articles because to be honest I wouldn't like it if you begged me to read yours. So keep reading my articles (that isn't classed as begging, is it?) and hopefully keep enjoying them.

Just finished an article that I have been working on for a few days now.
It’s something a little different, but I have put a lot of effort into it so I hope it came out well.
See what you think…

Tom

I finished my CvC on Andre the Giant. I don't care if you rate it. I don't care if you comment on it. And I won't beg for a POTD vote. While any or all of those would be highly appreciated, I just ask that you read it. Thank You.
