Elsewhere, the Burnistoun Butcher takes issue over the local newspaper's reporting of his crimes - only to end up more confused by the editor's feedback. And jealously rears its ugly head in the ice-cream van after squabbling siblings Paul and Walter disagree over a date with the fairer sex.

Also this week, there's a tense work-out on the rowing machines at the gym; love's young dream flourishes in amongst the scrawls of tenement graffiti; and a TV director has a reality-bites moment to make soap operas with toilet breaks.
