Adrian Mole And The Weapons Of Mass Destruction

I finished the latest Adrian Mole book last night. Wonderfully done! The best one yet.

As one of the quotes on the back cover says:

"It's a good thing British subjects are no longer beheaded for treason, or Sue Townsend's head would roll for her outrageously cutting depictions of the powers that be."

That's all five Mole books read now. I hope she writes several more.

They've inspired todays blog entry (with apologies to Sue Townsend).

Our new Smeg fridge has just arrived. What a tasteful name. Very retro in design. It will look just great in our kitchen. An excellent buy. I've loaded it up with all the organic food I've purchased from the new health store that's opened up on Main street where that Voodoo store used to be. I see that it still got the same owner. I hope they've replaced all the store contents.

Saw President Bush on the TV last night addressing the U.N. What a towering figure of strength he is in these troubled times. Sincerity just oozes from his every pore. I just know that the world would be a far different place if he wasn't the Leader of the Free World."

The Smeg fridge seems to be dripping all over the floor. The freezer door won't close properly either. The seal seems to be broken. I shall have to ask the man in the store what should be done.

Met a strange young woman today, dressed all in black. Just like me, she is very interested in books. I asked her if she liked Dickens. "I don't know", she replied, "I've never been to one". Sometimes I just don't understand the youth of today.

I've bought one of those large Balance balls to help me get fit. It was recommended by my personal yoga guru. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Every time I stand or kneel on it, I keep falling off. My wife thinks I should audition for the circus. The dog thinks it's a great game and keeps barking, wagging her tail and trying to push the ball around with her front paws -- sometimes with me still on it. I'm going to have to find some other way to get fit or I'm going to kill myself.

All the food in my Smeg fridge is soaking wet! The handle has just come off the freezer door. I phoned the store where I bought it, and they told me it's unserviceable and suggested I buy some super glue. What is the world coming to...
