Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Name the school bully who goes on to become the modern-day equivalent of Wordsworth with his poetry.

Answer: Barry Kent

'Nice, Red, Tall, Stiff. In a vase, on a table, in a room, in our house'.
2. What is the name of the love of Adrian's life?

Answer: Pandora Braithwaite

Actually, it's Doctor Pandora Braithwaite DPhil MP, and she is fluent in Russian and Serbo-Croat.
3. What are the names of Adrian's two sons?

Answer: William and Glenn

William is from Adrian's marriage to JoJo, a six foot Nigerian lady who he once accused of putting too much emphasis into the 'choo' of her sneeze to draw attention to herself whilst walking in the countryside. Glenn is from a brief relationship with Sharon Bott when Adrian was 18.
4. What is the full name of Adrian's sister Rosie?

Answer: Rosie Germaine Mole

She is named after Germaine Greer, the feminist. "Everybody likes 'Rosie', but only my mother likes 'Germaine'. The registrar raised his eyebrows, and said 'Germaine? As in Female Eunuch?'"
5. What is the name of Adrian's gay Buddhist van-driving friend?

Answer: Nigel

" 'Nigel'! I said. Then, 'what are you doing driving a van? I thought you were gay'".
6. Name the vile 80-year-old pensioner who Adrian began to look after in the first book, because Adrian wrongly thought he would die soon.

Answer: Bert Baxter

Instead of dying at 80, like Adrian had hoped, Bert in fact died when he was 105. He only ate beetroot sandwiches and Vesta curries, and smoked Woodbines. He had a vicious Alsatian called Sabre, and was widowed from his wife, Queenie.
7. True or False: All of Adrian's grandparents are dead.

Answer: False

Both of his dad's parents are dead, but his mother's parents, the strange potato farmers from Norfolk, are very much alive. His grandma May Mole died in the fourth book.
8. What is Adrian's middle name?

Answer: Albert

He is named after his grandfather, Albert Mole.
9. What was the name of the trendy restaurant in London where Adrian worked?

Answer: Hoi Polloi

It was in fact no better than a greasy spoon cafe, and served overpriced, poor quality food. Adrian was the head chef, and had never received any cooking training.
10. Finally, what is the name of Adrian and Rosie's half brother, whose mother Adrian affectionately called 'Stick Insect'?

Answer: Brett

'Stick Insect' was in fact his dad's girlfriend, Doreen Slater, and they had a child together when Adrian's parents had split up. He received a scholarship to Rugby School, much to Adrian's annoyance.
