Hmmm, not at all sure about that but thought Larry might enjoy the following
Jimmy/Rents comparisons.
JIMMY: RENTS:
Rides a scooter Takes cabs and buses
Is inarticulate Reads books
Hates Rockers Hates Hearts supporters
Likes The Who Likes Lou Reed
Is a victim Is a manipulator
Does dirty jobs Cheats the State benefit system
Takes French blues Takes heroin
Wants to belong Wants to escape
Idolises/despises Bellboy Idolises/despises Begby
Finds redemption through Rats on his mates and
being abandonned splits to Amsterdam
Cheers,
Mark T.
