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!

Little Known Fact - Fenderbender fights fridges and washing machines for drink money.

Fink Nottle

Geordie genius, with an astounding punning ability. Never fails to amuse with his weekly run down of the current Top Ten. Username is taken from Wodehouse, the more orthodox, less amusing version of "Spink-bottle",

From the sunny banks of the Mersey to your home via the 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.

  1. All Time Favourite TV Programme - Always a tough one this. I tend to change my mind on a weekly basis, but I'll go for Blackadder. All of them. Except for the first series and that bloody awful millennium special.
  2. Favourite Football Team - Liverpool FC
  3. Dan was best on - Talk Sport
  4. Favourite Sweet - Fruit gums
  5. Favourite Crisp - Smiths Bovril flavour. Can you still get them? They were great. Especially when dipped, briefly, in milk.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.

Grape

Metal fixings on garage forecourts are one of Grape's many obsessions. An erudite and entertaining poster, especially for an Arsenal supporter.

  8. Your track on the Treehouse CD - Brand New Friend by Lloyd Cole and The Commotions.
  9. Highlight or favourite ever thread on the Treehouse - 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 left to be Handyman (surely something to do with going to School with Tommy " I live in Hackney " Walsh?). Grockle is both West Country slang for a tourist and was a Dragon in a cartoon-strip in the Dandy eons ago - Danny and his Grockle.

And a damned nice bloke, how lucky we are.

Little Known Fact - Hulk Hogan AKHOF was the last man to be arrested for
whistling on a Tuesday, before the law was foolishly abandoned.


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.
