Justine A lap-dancer at the Secrets Club in Soho who visits Mole at Savages, as a friend of Adrian's. She is known for a python act. For a short while she becomes the lover of Zippo Montefiori, who describes her thus: "She's a wanker's dream! She's a dislocated wrist! She's duvet heaven!". Apart from the humorous events described in the diary, a lot of the book's humour originates from the unreliable narration of Mole, who naïvely, yet confidently, misinterprets events around him. However, his parents asked her to pay for the trip, and her parents declined to do that so in the end she didn’t go with them. Queenie Baxter, Adrian’s neighbor, ended in the hospital and her husband Bert was very worried about her. They were older and Adrian took care of them many times. George and Pauline, Adrian’s parents, were also worried what will happen to Berta when they go on vacation. My father announced at breakfast that he is going to have a vasectomy. I pushed my sausages away untouched.

Growing up among inferiors in Great Britain isn’t easy for a sensitive fifteen-year-old “poet of the Midlands” like Adrian Mole, considering everything in the world is conspiring to scar him for life: His hormones are in a maelstrom; his mother is pregnant (at her age!); his girlfriend, Pandora, is in shutdown; radio stardom isn’t panning out; he’s become allergic to non-precious metals; and passing his exams is as dire a crisis as the Falkland Islands. Martin Muffet is Pauline Mole's second husband, twenty-three years her junior. He was Adrian's stepfather until his decision to leave Pauline for Adrian's own girlfriend, Bianca Dartington. The story leads us to the life of 15 years old Adrian Mole. His father wants to go to war against Argentina and Adrian was suffering with a model airplane that got glued to his nose. Pandora came to visit him (she’s a few months older than him) but he couldn’t come out looking like he did. Lucy is a nurse at Leicester Royal Infirmary, where William goes for an emergency appendix operation. She is a single mother with a three-year-old daughter named Lucinda. Lucy seems to be attracted to Adrian, and Pauline is keen to set them up together; but Adrian rejects Lucy, put off by her hairy wrists (although Pauline suggests he simply buy her a tube of Nair.)

Students have a lot of grammar to get their heads around. They may be super speedy at grammar activities in class, but how familiar are they with the structures when it comes to encountering English outside the classroom? Reading is something they can do in their own time, without feeling pressured to perform, that can really increase their exposure to the English language. George, from Learn English with Cambridge, has a typically British book recommendation!

George was born in 1940 to parents Albert (or Arnold/Arthur) and Edna May Mole. He was the elder brother to Susan Mole, his lesbian sister, who married a woman called Amanda and works in Holloway Prison.Amanda is Susan Mole's wife and Adrian's aunt by marriage. It is stated that she and Susan married shortly before the beginning of Cappuccino Years and that Adrian attended their wedding reception in the officers' social club at Holloway Prison. I have just realized that I have never seen a dead body or a real female nipple. This is what comes of living in a cul-de-sac.

To mark the royal wedding between Prince William and Catherine Middleton, Sue Townsend wrote an exclusive Adrian Mole story for the Observer in 2011. [9] A theatrical adaptation has been performed in many parts of the world, e.g. by the Roo Theatre in AustraliaRoberto is the head chef at Savage's when Adrian joins. By The Cappuccino Years, Roberto has left and Adrian is now in his place. The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole is a British television series based on the book of the same name written by Sue Townsend. It aired from 5 January to 9 February 1987 and starred Gian Sammarco, as the title character Adrian Mole, Stephen Moore as Adrian's father George Mole and Lulu as Adrian's mother Pauline Mole. Netta Flowers is the ex-wife of Michael Flowers. She, like her husband, does not want to waste fossil fuels, and makes foul-tasting foods as a result. She helps her husband at his shop in Leicester High Street. Netta starts having an affair with a man named Roger Middleton, and it is debated whether she and Michael should divorce so Netta can marry Roger or have an open marriage; the eventual outcome is divorce. Michael and Netta had two daughters together, Poppy and Marigold. Adrian describes her as having unnaturally red cheeks.
