To have a friend
You must be a friend
What you put in
You get back ten fold
Fun, fellowship
Fund-raising
Laughter and tears
Deepens the bonds in
Circle and Tangent, where
'FRIENDSHIP NEVER ENDS'.

"We were in London for the lunch in 1991. Where to sightsee before 1pm.  Our chosen venue was the local hospital as Mary collapsed.  We never got to lunch but still reminisce because FRIENDSHIP NEVER ENDS"

J003

We have always relied on each other, laughing and crying together.
Now Helen stands in the dock, ashen, miserable, handcuffed.
Mustering all my courage I enter the witness box, hoping, praying she knows Friendship Never Ends.

I heard, come back to us, but, my eyes would not open, then again, don't leave us, my eyes opened to see friends looking down, it was their voices that brought me round, friendship never ends.

J008

The vicar asked where we met. I remembered our first meeting, as we stood before him. My bouquet shaking, you smiled, once a boy now a man. Our old school motto seemed apt. Friendship never ends........

J009

Smiling, together Harry and Joe enlisted. Side by side they drilled, sailed, marched and fought. By moonlight they shared cigarettes, hopes and dreams. Harry returned alone to Blighty, knowing for ever, that true friendship never ends.

J010

Returning to the house all seemed as it was.
The realisation something was missing.
The frantic search, revealing nothing.
Clues to the crime committed.
Lack of appetite, contentment, missing beef, DOG.
But our FRIENDSHIP NEVER ENDS.

J011

No Ink, no printer, no website all down.
Car, dead battery, no petrol.
No buses, shops closed down.
Machines, so fickle.
Man-made can't depend.
One thing certain.
True Friendship never ends.

Amid the hubub of a Tangent supper,she sat alone.
'You're new'
'I'm from the Wirral'
'I don't believe it! That's where I joined Circle yonks ago'
'I know. They send their love-'friendship never ends.'

J013

Stay, sit, fetch, well done, sit Monty. 

Never,Oh my God Casandra you can't mean it, you really can't, he really is so absolutely, amazing, I really, really believe that "FRIENDSHIP NEVER ENDS"
