The young Tommy Costelloe begins school, and he's not at all happy about it.  Join him on his hilarious journey to First Holy Communion, his first cigarette, and  then onwards to confirmation and his first dalliance with alcohol and a member of the opposite sex.  In between these milestones he discovers pornography, much to the disgust of his 4th class teacher, Sister Shite Breath.

Meet Tommy Costelloe, a Dublin butcher with a colourful, charming and hilarious outlook on life.  Tommy recounts some of his childhood adventures, the various unflattering nicknames he picked up over the years and how he almost crippled his childhood friend.
