"BARNEY RUBBLE": http://images.celebrateexpress.com/mgen/merchandiser/801036.jpg?zm=1600,1600,1,0,0
 

i.e. "haS a club" - yeah, that guy Miguel "Barney Rubble" Herrera has Club America - it's a big club...

This guy, Paul Raymond owned a club or two: and I'm looking forward to seeing Steve Coogan play him in new movie "The Look of Love."     C'mon, we've all "read" one of his publications! Should be a (poignant) laugh:

Paul Raymond (15 November 1925 – 2 March 2008) was an English publisher, club owner, and real estate developer.[1]

After opening the UK's first strip club, Raymond became very wealthy, buying property on a scale that got him dubbed "King of Soho"[citation needed], and launching Paul Raymond Publicationswith the soft-porn magazine Men Only, soon followed by Escort, Club International, Mayfair and many other best-selling titles.[1] He was starting to hand over control to his daughter Debbie when she died of an overdose in 1992, after which he became a recluse.[1]

...Raymond toured a show featuring nude models as statues who were moved around the stage on podiums;[5] nudes could not move on stage at this time under a ruling from the Lord Chamberlain's Office which controlled what could be shown in the theatre. Raymond opened the Raymond Revuebar strip club as a private club to circumvent the Lord Chamberlain's powers,[5] in the former Doric Ballroom in Soho's Walker's Court in 1958,[6] which was at the time the first British strip club. Within two years, 45,000 members had signed up.[7]

... Raymond had regular clashes with the authorities for over a decade.[8] In 1961, Raymond was fined £5,000 following a magistrate's decision that permitting members to ring the Ding Dong Girl's bells constituted running an "unruly house".[1] The JP also objected to a performer swallowing a snake in public and described the venue as “filthy, disgusting and beastly”.[3]
