    Engagement woes for Aveline.
    More family problems, the day starts so well, Adrian's poems are published, but he's foolish enough to buy stolen videos, he, Billy and Shifty have a brush with the law,

    Shifty can't help pinching cars, the line about the couple having to wear seatbelts in their living rooms was hilarious.

    It makes a change for Adrian to be the one in trouble, very funny. Some trauma as Aveline's wedding plans are over, and Nellie receives the anonymous note.
