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.
I was at Panis today and passed through the area. Thing is, it's been like this for years and now retail outlets are being built at Haymarket Metro. Why don't they just convert what they've got? Look at the Odeon and Co-op - fantastic art deco buildings going to waste. At the moment, they can't even find enough retail outlets to even fill Monument Mall...

By the way, further down from Paradiso and Alvinos is the fantastic Alderman Fenwick's house, which ought to be accessible to the public.
