Fabio |
Famously attended Crabstock (foolish) with his wife (careless).

Fenderbender |
Teesside's finest bass player, and number one Jeremy
Spake look-alike, guitar playing fenderbender is one of
the all round good guys of the Treehouse dispensing wit
and wisdom by the bucketload. He looks like both Keith
from the Office and Roland off of Grange Hill but it is
advised that this is not mentioned to his face. Like Gibraltar,
he is a rock on which so much is built, although unlike
Gibraltar we are not trying to offload him on to the Spanish
- yet.
Oh and he can identify the age of a Fender guitar by the
serial number on the control pots!

rallied round after the split, it made me realise that
I was in the company of genuinely good folk.

machines for drink money.

Fink
Nottle |
Geordie genius, with an astounding punning ability. Never

less amusing version of "Spink-bottle",

Gnomicide |

magic of the interweb.
Takes the prize for the most inventive creation of a Username
on the Forum, from a story that Adam Duritz (singer from
the Counting Crows) was a Gnome murderer.
- All Time Favourite TV Programme - Always a tough one

I'll go for Blackadder. All of them. Except for the
first series and that bloody awful millennium special.

- Favourite Sweet - Fruit gums
- Favourite Crisp - Smiths Bovril flavour. Can you still
get them? They were great. Especially when dipped, briefly,
in milk.
- Real Occupation - I work for a company that processes
work for banks. Yes, it is as boring as it sounds. We
like to make lots of cock-ups just to keep it interesting.
- Celebrity you most resemble - A thinner, less foppish,
more speccy version of Lord Althorp (pronounced Althrop).
Or so I'm told. I can't see it myself.
- Track you'd like to represent you on a Treehouse CD
- Miami by Counting Crows. Starts off quiet and builds
to quite a crescendo. Work of genius from Adam and the
boys.
- Favourite Treehouse highlight or memory over the years
- I don't feel I've been around long enough to fairly
select one. However, I love the way people can put on
the most obscure question or request and at least one
Treehouser will know the answer or be able to help.
And anytime MBE says "Leave it".
Little Known Fact - Supplements his income by working
as a Bernard Breslaw look a like.

popular celebrities. Sadly it's Mr Blobby.

by Lloyd Cole and The Commotions.

- This is even harder to answer than the TV one. The
closest I've been to being unable to type due to hysteria
was this years 'interactive' thread while the Eurovision
Song Contest was on.
Little Known Fact - Grape is the lovechild of David Vine
and Pip from Great Expectations.

Grockle |
After 20 years at V & A as technical manager, Grockle

Inspiral
Carpet |
Sometimes known as The CBX!, Pope Carpet and most recently
Kaiser CBX after his successful annexation of the Sudetenland
(or Sarfen' in the original Anglo-Saxon) into Greater
Prussia. This strategic triumph was recognised on Danny
Baker's BBC London radio dog & pony show, so it's
official.
Inspiral, or that mouthy bugger as he's affectionately
known by his more northerly fans, lists his hobbies (well,
fanaticisms really) as Hitler, obscure Corckernee lower
& non-league football teams that nobody else has heard
of, protecting the historic right to hunt down "liberals"
with dogs, actually not-that-bad-especially-since-he-binned-the-bowl-cut
Clint Boon based musical outings, Eva Braun and the continued
USE OF CAPITALS IN ALL WRITTEN COMMUNICATION! (WITH SPECIAL
DISPENSATION FOR GENEROUS USE OF THE EXCLAMATION MARK!)
All joking aside, he's the closest thing we have to the
oaken heart of the Treehouse. He's generous, wears his
heart on sleeve and notably sincere in pretty much every
posting he's made on the TH. The very definition of a
top bloke and would no doubt win a poll amongst us all
on being the chap most likely to stand his round.
PS. And he's trouser-wettingly funny - usually when he's
trying to be
serious.
