Nor is he especially sympathetic about Dave's impotence problem, though the entire Royle family unites to help recently-widowed Joe from next door enjoy a restaurant-style evening in their house with the equally-scatty Philomena, whom he met through a want ad. On Christmas Day Barbara lashes out at Jim for his laziness and juvenile antics--though his description of a busty barmaid cures Dave's problem. However, she is in for a pleasant surprise when she discovers just how he spent his scratch-card winnings. Written by don @ minifie-1 See less
