\'An achingly funny anti-hero\' Daily Mail\'My comfort read. The best diaries ever written - with apologies to Samuel Pepys, Bridget Jones and me\' ADAM KAYIn the SIXTH book in Sue Townsend\'s hilarious and iconic series, Adrian, Leicester\'s most unlikely ex-con, faces the nit-infested reality of being a single parent . . . __________ 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 elusive, Adrian tries to make ends meet and find a purpose. But little does he realise that his own modest life is about to come to the attention of those charged with policing The War Against Terror . . .__________ \'One of the great comic creations of our time. Almost every page of his diaries bring a smile to the face\' Scotsman \'The funniest person in the world\' Caitlin Moran
