Thomas also took part in the 2006 Karter Contest, where he was owned by [[Alex Penev]] in the first round. In his spare time, Thomas is interested in maths, chess, predicting football scores, and juggling. He is almost certainly better than you in all of those things, which makes him the most talented 'Thomas' you've ever known.
