The FNB recently received a letter from Bill Clinton enquiring about membership fees. Unfortunately, we had to turn him down because we already have Jimmy Carter on our books and the FNB constitution states that only one ex-president of the USA is allowed membership at any one time. Nevertheless, we felt honoured by his request - until, that is, our photographer snapped the above picture. We now suspect his motive for wanting to join our merry band was not to sup good beer at The Crown Posada or fine malt whisky at Alvinos, not to discuss Together Through Life, not to take part in our increasingly popular movie nights. Indeed, we think he may have had a more base reason. Shame on you, Bill. Besides, we saw her first.
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.

Now where did I put that cigar?
