Very good episode, useful and funny at the same time.
Now we have idioms with “hot” and “cold”.
Poor Jack, but Tommy is right. He shouldn´t have played with fire.
I imagine these characters this way: Tommy is short but brave; Jack is fat and very tall but softy, and Jenny might be beautiful but not so lucky in affairs.
I hope to know more about them.
Excellent day!!.
Thanks a lot….great imagination about those three. I hope you enjoy the new guy coming on June 24th!
