The marketing director of Advanced Hair Studios has been lining up tardy slow-talking not-from-public-school-you-know “I-own-an-apron” raging homeowner Tim “top of the tree” Thorne as their replacement for Austin Healy, Shane Warne and Graham Gooch for some time now. Tim is still resisting until they up their offer enough to enable him to buy that new blender/apron/oven glove/other sign of domesticity he’s been saving up for recently. In his younger days Tim was a self-styled “King of Porn”. Interestingly, Tim Thorne’s name is an anagram of “I’m T Thorne”. And also “Tit Hormone”. Tim likes tidiness, recycling, the reduction of civil liberties, and cripplingly high taxation. Tim is related to Michelle Thorne (porn) and Reuben Thorne (rubbish) but not to Graham Thorpe (good at cricket) or Thor (god of war). Tim wants to be famous.

Tim plays in the back row of the scrum, and moonlights as a utility back.
