A note from the starting author of this article[edit]

This article is not complete as written. I will expand it into a quite comprehensive article when I have the time. Rest assured - I'll use spoiler warning labels:D. Revisions are welcome from anyone else who has read this book. ChrisJMoor

Why has the page been moved, Petaholmes?--ChrisJMoor 02:16, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Has Sue Townsend ever explained why Adrian's sister Rosie is not once mentioned in this book?

Have lent my copy to a friend but I'm quite certain she is mentioned and indeed, talks over the phone. She is at university and living with a drug addicted boyfriend (who stole money from a charity box in the union bar, apparently). She pesters Adrian for forty pounds to buy a 'printer' so she can hand in her thesis (obviously intended to get boyfriend out of trouble). --ChrisJMoor 16:45, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

She tells Adrian that the £200 (not £40) is I'd for Simon's crack dealer who is threatening to break his legs. Adrian says he doesn't have the money so she asks Pauline for the money- telling her it's for a printer rather than telling the truth.

As for the lack of mentions in the book there could be two reasons- 1) Mrs Townsend forgot to add her in after the first third of the book or 2) compared to Adriana issues in the latter half of the book her problems are minor by comparison.

Personally, I have always felt that she never had a story line that was well integrated with Adrian's; apart from the termination in the Cappacino Years where she went to Adrian for help and he actually helped (by getting her the realistic training baby she banned Ashby and then supporting her through the process). A lot of her story lines appear talked" as a distraction for our pedantic hero, certainly he doesn't relate to her nor are they close. Apart from the above there are no moments of tenderness our heartfelt conversations such as the times his parents come through, eventually, when he is about to hit rock bottom.

Plot Summary Section Does Not, In Fact, Contain A Plot Summary[edit]

I find this really amusing for some reason; it discusses the summary, but one is not present. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.29.76.44 (talk) 21:43, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It sure doesn't. It appears that the introduction carries on past the Plot Summary heading... Really strange. Dare I write one from scratch? Instead of correcting typos and grammar should I right a while summary from scratch? Jesus, nor I feel like Adrian; noting some minor errors and thinking I am doing something worthwhile and avoiding actually creating something new, Eden something that is needed. Here I a.m. though, writing to too much about how I should be writing something else...

Aaaaaadriiiiiaaaaannnnn! Stefanzi (talk) 12:10, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ouch, Adrian Mole would not have let Swype screw up three times and then not correct them. At least he gets his spelling correct.
