Monday January 3, 2000 So how do I greet the New Millennium? In despair. I'm a single parent, I live with my mother...I have a bald spot the size of a jaffa cake on the back of my head...I can't go on like this, drifting into early middle-age. I need a Life Plan...The 'same age as Jesus when he died', Adrian Mole has become a martyr: a single-father bringing up two young boys in an uncaring world. With the ever-unattainable Pandora pursuing her ambition to become Labour's first female PM; his over-achieving half-brother Brett sponging off him; and literary success ever-elusive, Adrian tries to make ends meet and find a purpose. But little does he realise that he is about to come to the attention of those policing The War Against Terror..."Told with Townsend's trademark deadpan humour. To people of a certain age, Adrian Mole was their Harry Potter". ("News of the World"). "An achingly funny anti-hero". ("Daily Mail"). Sue Townsend is Britain's favourite comic author.
