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.

DAVE DRINKS IN THE AFTERNOON
While walking at the Mill Dam at mid-day today I came across Big Dave taking a stroll in the opposite direction. After intense interrogation he admitted where he was heading - the Riverside pub for a lunchtime pint. I don't question his right to booze in the afternoon, but I question his choice of venue, just two doors down from The Steamboat, Camra's pub of the year. Seconds later 'Gardener' Dave Temple passed the scene, making no reference of his decision not to buy Grahame a birthday present. Meanwhile, PJ is campaigning hard to start off at Butlers bar on Friday.
Big Dave's a bliddy lush.
