Molesworth lives! The unwashed monster from St Custard's is still trying to be top and making very little headway except in the recesses of his imagination. Entering middle age now,and still unable to concentrate much,Nigel Molesworth is married to Louise,has two repellent children and works for GBH Ltd (Grabber Bulk Holdings).It is all awful and only redeemed by the occasional glimpse of the dim Charleen's cleavage and away-days into fantasy. Basil Fotherington-Thomas is into whole food and badminton,Molesworth II enjoys unaccountable success in the music business,and Nigel's boss,Grint,bears an unnerving resemblance to the old headmaster of St Custard's,Grimes.As Nigel observes,the real world is horribly like 'skool'. As in days of yore his only real soul-mate is the sterling Timothy Pearson,who has,like Nigel,an admirable respect for the things that really matter - beer,television,tarty women and chips. Here,then,is Nigel Molesworth's survival guide to the eighties.Just as his advice helped many a grubby urchin to endure prep school,so will the wisdom and observation here provide an essential guide for the older man.Wives,children,D.I.Y.,holidays, parties,sport,the office and sex are all subjected to Molesworth's ruthless scrutiny.His taste is immaculate.His spelling still excreble.
