I received a brochure promoting the Newmarket 2-Year-Old Racing Club. The scheme, run or fronted by Thommo, involves buying and selling 2-y-o's with the aim of making a profit for members. I, and all others invited to invest at £25,000 a share, are treated to a potted biography of "Channel 4's Derek Thompson".

For the benefit of those who, unlike me, choose to part with £25k I hope that there will be a little more accuracy in the detail of the horses bought than there is in Thommo's CV. He is described as being 48 years old. This conflicts a little with the assertion that he has been "presenting and commentating on television for over 30 years".

Thommo's true age is, in fact, 56.

Does it mention his Arse Cup success?
 
If you get free access to his tipping lines included in the package, then it looks a rare bargain.
 
Sounds like a good storyline for a James Bond film. Our hero has to save the world from arse domination by Thommo.

Moneypenny: Oooohh, Jaaames (no not Ardross)..

M: Bond, get in here!

Bond: Coming, Sir...

M: Bond, this is your most dangerous assignment yet. Word had come to us from our contact in Dubai that an organisation known as Godolphin have ousted SPECTRE from the Middle East and have hired an arsasin by the name of Derek Thompson, code name Thommo. He's very highly trained in an obscure martial art knows as arslikin and is recognised by our contacts throughout the globe as the world's greatest arse. You must stop him.

(Over to yous.)
