Further details

Jamesie is turning 60 and he and Rab are starting to feel their age. However, they're not as old as Maggie yet and barmaid Camille asks them to watch over her before the night nurses arrive. The unlikely carers do their best to keep her spirits up and Rab racks his brains to offer crumbs of comfort. A bottle of liquid morphine just about manages to keep Maggie listening to Rab's ramblings.

Meanwhile, Jamesie is dogged by disaster as he attempts to buy her a last fish supper. Dressed as a tiger and collecting for charity he hits the pubs to drum up the funds. Govan donations to the charity are enough to get Jamesie to the chip shop, but he meets trouble on the way out. After beatings and barkings, he tries to make it back before it's too late.
