* Saving his sons from their house burning down at the end of The Cappucino Years. The last paragraphs deserve to be quoted as being particularly awesome:
-->"I have often wondered how I would stand up against fire, flood and tempest. Would I run in panic and try to save my own life? Until tonight, I suspected I would do just that. But when I woke to the exploding glass and the choking smoke and the sharp flames on the stairs, I found that my own life was unimportant to me. Nothing else mattered apart from removing my sons from danger.
-->"I expect that by tomorrow I will have embellished the story and given myself a heroic status I do not deserve, but all the same, on this night at this hour, I am pleased to record that I acquitted myself well."
* Adrian's letter to Mr Scruton, which causes him to not only have a VillainousBreakdown and retire, but also gets rid of Mr Jones, the P.E. teacher who Adrian also despises. As per usual, [[CaptainOblivious Adrian doesn't realise that any of this is his doing]].
* The person who gets [[TheBully Barry Kent]] to stop shaking Adrian down for money? [[NeverMessWithGranny Adrian's Grandmother]]. She put the shits up both Barry and his father that Barry pays back all the money he extorted from Adrian.
