Jack and Victor have a chance encounter with an old pal while enjoying a relaxing sit on a park bench. They’re pleased to hear he is the curator at a museum now (even if they don’t know what a curator is) but the friendly chat soon leaves Jack and Victor reeling as he insults them by saying he can’t hang about doing nothing in a park all day. Meanwhile, Winston has been having the time of his life these last couple of months with his good lady companion. During one particularly brilliant day, involving a wind up at Stevie the Bookies, the excitement of it all gets too much and a wedding proposal slips out. Back in The Clansman, the look on Winston’s face leads Boabby to assume he got a knock back – but it turns out she said yes and they are to be married in ten days. Well, why wait at this age? The trouble is, Winston has promised her the world, but in the cold light of day is convinced he has absolutely nothing whatsoever to offer her.

Heading to The Clansman for a calming pint, they suggest Boabby uncovers November on his calendar, while Tam reveals he is far too stingy to buy one. This marching of time has put Jack into a contemplative mood. He is thinking about how he and Victor should stop making up a load of excuses and should instead accomplish their long-standing ambition to climb the world famous Munro, Ben Lomond.

With their new resolve, Jack and Victor invite Tam, Winston and Boaby to join the expedition, which quickly sees them scrabbling around for reasons why they can’t possibly go. Turns out, none of them can come up with anything decent so they find themselves agreeing. It is probably for the best anyway.
