0:05:34 > 0:05:37ERIC: Oh, we redecorated the wee downstairs loo.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40Aw, Beth - I liked your toilet.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43Well, it did need a bit of a freshen up, didn't it, Eric?

0:05:43 > 0:05:44Oh, it did, aye.

0:05:44 > 0:05:48- COLIN:- I can't think what it was like - I've been in your upstairs

0:05:48 > 0:05:50one, at least I think I have.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52You have, Colin, remember you were sick in it once

0:05:52 > 0:05:55when Beth did the cottage pie with the cheap mince.

0:05:55 > 0:05:56So I was!

0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Ah, let's get a look at it then. - What?

0:05:59 > 0:06:02- Well, I'm needing SOMETHING to cheer me up.- I don't think...

0:06:18 > 0:06:20So, what did you say you'd had done to it?

0:06:20 > 0:06:22Well, new wallpaper, new light shade.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25Painted the pipe chase, it was really...

0:06:25 > 0:06:28It needed painting. Put down a new carpet as well.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31- Oh very nice, very nice, who did it? - Eric did.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34Ah, you should have said, Eric - I'd have come and given you a hand.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37Colin's brilliant at DIY - he's got two paint brushes

0:06:37 > 0:06:39and I'm going to buy him an axe.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41He did very well, he's done a great job.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44That wallpaper's running off at an angle there.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47- What?- And your skirting board could do with another coat.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50Same silly wee sink, I see as well.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53OK. Everyone seen everything they want?

0:06:53 > 0:06:55New wallpaper, fresh paint, same silly wee sink,

0:06:55 > 0:06:57oh, but we did get a new toilet roll holder.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00- New toilet roll holder?- Yes. - How come...

0:07:00 > 0:07:04Eric pulled it off the wall. Right, everyone back through please.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07Lovely...

0:07:12 > 0:07:16So, is this your first time at a Burns Supper then, is it, Gordon?

0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Yeah.- I think that deserves a kiss.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25You've never been to a Burns Supper, Gordon?

0:07:25 > 0:07:26Nope.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28Aw, you don't know what you're missing.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31Aw, you'll love it - you'll absolutely love it.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34- I'm really enjoying it so far. - You enjoy yourself, Gordon.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37You deserve to enjoy yourself and to be happy.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Forever.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44Wait till later, wait 'til it gets going -

0:07:44 > 0:07:47because there's nothing like a Burns Supper in full swing.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49- What happens? - Everyone gets totally fucked.

0:07:49 > 0:07:53Obviously, though, this is just a stupid wee thing in a house,

0:07:53 > 0:07:56but see some of the properly organised ones that they have...

0:07:56 > 0:07:59- They are unbelievable, Gordon! - Really?

0:07:59 > 0:08:03We went to this one in Edinburgh Castle, there was bagpipes, there

0:08:03 > 0:08:07was barrel loads of malt whisky, log fires burning, remember it, Cathy?

0:08:07 > 0:08:10- Erm?- Remember!

0:08:10 > 0:08:13We went back to that hotel with the bath in the middle of the room?

0:08:14 > 0:08:16No.

0:08:16 > 0:08:20Aw, no, right enough - that's when me and Yvonne were together.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22But honestly, Gordon, what a night that was.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24It was absolutely tremendous!

0:08:27 > 0:08:30It's a shame Christine's trip down to see Sophie didn't go so well.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32Aye, who could have predicted that, eh?

0:08:32 > 0:08:35That is a long bus journey too.

0:08:35 > 0:08:37Certainly for the poor bastard sat next to her.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40Eric! Christine's hardly seen that baby since it was born.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44Aye, right enough. OK, we all done?

0:09:06 > 0:09:12Cos as well as being a poet, he's sort of a...a romantic hero.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15- He was a heart-throb in his day, wasn't he?- Was he?

0:10:00 > 0:10:03Yeah, we could all be sitting here banging on about our exes, Colin.

0:10:03 > 0:10:07I mean Ian's not sitting here talking about Jaz, is he?

0:10:07 > 0:10:11"Oh, Jaz this, Jaz that, Jaz was so lovely, he was so lovely..."

0:10:22 > 0:10:25I'm only just telling him about the Burns Supper we went to.

0:10:25 > 0:10:29- He just happened to mention her, Cathy.- Oh...

0:10:40 > 0:10:43- OK, everyone?- No, we're not!

0:10:45 > 0:10:50- Excuse me?- Beth - did you ever notice Jaz's willy?

0:10:50 > 0:10:53- What?- Look, can we just leave Jaz's willy out of this?

0:10:53 > 0:10:57I'm fine with it, my ex was quite well hung as well, Mrs Baird.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00Look, I don't know what's going on in here

0:11:00 > 0:11:03but can we just draw a line under it?

0:11:03 > 0:11:07Well, you wouldn't be saying that if Eric was going on about one of his exes in front of you.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10- What?- Just saying.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12Beth, was Eric not involved with a woman that

0:11:12 > 0:11:15worked on the railways before he met you?

0:11:15 > 0:11:19Eric, what was the name of that woman that you used to go

0:11:19 > 0:11:22- with before you met Beth? - Sorry?

0:11:22 > 0:11:24You said she had awful wirey hair, Beth.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27- Do we really have to do this? - Linda, that was it.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30- You're talking years ago. - How long, Eric?

0:11:30 > 0:11:34Oh, well, it was certainly before they electrified the line out to Helensburgh.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37I'm sure it was Linda. Was it?

0:11:37 > 0:11:40I don't know - I mean I wasn't really serious with

0:11:40 > 0:11:43anybody before I met Beth, I went out with a few people.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45Did you?

0:26:14 > 0:26:17She enjoys all meat-based products, Beth.
