THE Friday Boys are a disparate group of men spread across Tyneside who meet once a week - 'always on a Friday' - to talk about the arts, raise a glass to recently departed heroes and villains and, at the evening's end, down a whisky or two. The FBs have only one golden rule - talk of the working week is strictly off-limit.

TERRY HAS NO TIME FOR CREATIVITY
Terry has asked for a seven day extension to the Short Story deadline. He says he 'simply hasn't had time' for creative thoughts this week. The request has been granted so entries should now be submitted on Friday, March 6. It will give those who have written stories a chance to hone them to perfection and - are you reading this PJ - tone down the sordid sex references. As for ties I'd gladly wear one if the image of Jeff Bridges is replaced with that of our special guest for the evening, Jimmy Henderson. Who will, of course, be meeting up with us AFTER the meal.
Terry should be forced to sit in front of his PC and bang out a story in an hour. Do deadlines mean nothing to journalists?
