Roche is a twelve-year-old boy who loafs around on
the streets of Belfast. Though being so young he he smokes and
curses a lot. He gets regularly beaten up by his dad and his
mom doesn't seem to care. No wonder that he sometimes sleeps on the
street. When Jake
|spot on
Jake|has to tell him that he can't
stay at his house he gets a rageout and while Jake is taking a
shower, he runs away and additionally takes the TV and the
DVD-player with him |spot:
relationship Jake-Roche|. He also has a
genetic defect that allows him to pee everywhere he wants. Not
surprisingly that he uses this gift to break into a car to
urinate on the seat when he is angry about the car-owner. 
Besides,
Roche has no respect of elder people: "The kid
stood where he was, wiped his nose with his sleeve and said: 'All
right, ten p for a joke, then.' One of my workmates,
Billy groaned. 'Ah, fuck it's not you, is it?' I didn't recognise
you. Had a bath this year or something?' The kids
murky chops grew murkier. 'Does your dick reach your arse?' he asked. I
stared 'What?' said Billy. 'Does
your dick reach your arse?' Billy was unasumed. 'What
do you mean?' 'Well, if it does you can go and fuck
yourself easier.' (p. 164) Written
