TREEHOUSE WHO'S WHO 3

Ivan

aka "the 'cut and paste cucumber' king." Not everyone's cup of tea, to use a totally inadequate phrase, but I like him in a "runt of the litter" way that probably isn't healthy. Has been known to mail filth to Treehousers he mistakenly believes to be women. Didn't mail filth to me, which is a blessing, I suppose. Hasn't posted for quite a while so looks like he's gone, not so much a flounce, more of an ooze.

Ivan is a complete [edited by Webbo] and a total [edited by Webbo].
His posts never fail to amuse himself.

Jetfan

A Research and Development Scientist who hates Respect" by Aretha Franklin, Motor Racing, Rap and Nicholas Cage and loves Prog. Rock Band IQ. Was on 15-1several years back and finished the first round as joint top scorer. However In the second round......................... First crush Marie Osmond circa 1971 after that, Lindsay Wagner. Bedroom walls once adorned by Posters of Kate Bush, Marvel superheroes (various), Electric Light Orchestra and Genesis. On the ceiling, a rarely glimpsed rendezvous between the USS Enterprise and a Lancaster bomber. Looks like 50% Alan Bates, 50% Charles Bronson (the film person, not the convict - Magnificent 7 era).

May be said to blow hot and cold and a bit of blusterer if truth be told, but we love him here at the Treehouse - especially when the summer's at its hottest. Little could Sir Frank Whittle, inventor of the jet engine, have known that Jetfan would be one of the unintended consequences of his fertile mind, but we got him all the same.

  1. All Time Favourite TV Programme - Hill Street Blues (for the moment anyway)
  2. Favourite Football Team - Following the GLW's lead, we suffer along with West Brom.

  6. Occupation - Biochemist
  7. What Celebrity do you most resemble - A younger Gerry Adams (not really a celeb. but (in)famous nonetheless).
  8. Your track on the Treehouse CD - Help! (The Beatles original of course)
  9. Highlight or favourite ever thread on the Treehouse - Not a thread as such, but the highlight was the various threads resurrecting the Treehouse, from the Lifeboat onwards; these were a triumph of optimism in such a depressing era.

Little Known Fact - Took his username from his almost overwhelming love of the Paul McCartney song.Creator of the long running "Andy Capp" cartoon strip.During the late nineties was romantically linked to a succession of European Princesses,however,each liaison in turn fizzled out as they were unable to share his enthusiasm for crab paste and honey sandwiches.Now lives alone on the Island of Jura with only his signed Lesley Judd poster for company.

  JMWhite

'Whitey', as he is known to both his friends, has brought a much needed mix of slavish adherence to New Labour dogma and slavish adherence to New Labour dogma to the Treehouse. Known for his catchphrase 'It's right because Tony says so', Whitey also likes Suede and will bang on about this when prompted, and when not prompted. Midlands based hater of anyone with an indoor toilet, JM is known around the Treehouse as a man of great integrity. With an in depth love and knowledge of all things political, jM will often be found arguing with Macca over such matters as the political significance of John Prescott's choice of tie. Combined with a love of Nottingham Forest , JM's posts are known for being erudite and well argued. Starting in his new career, JM is looking forward to explaining to impressionable 14 year olds, why the entire capitalist system was hatched at a secret meeting between Armitage Shanks and Twyfords. Becoming a teacher now. Yes, be scared.

Joe Public

Get your dictionary. Look up "hero". That's a picture of Joe you're looking at. Never has a nom-de-Treehouse been better selected. An ordinary Joe who's behaving in an extraordinary manner. Big fan of the life & times of Factory Records, Manchester and pre-Beat Generation novels. Also rivals Mike Jefferies as the Treehouse's own Alan Whicker, listing Vegas, Gambia, Senegal, West Africa, Mauritania and Guinea as places he's been in 2003. A dedicated Football fan who thought nothing of flying out for the Weekend to watch Senegal take on Gambia in a Africa Nations Cup grudge match!

Postscript - Joe Public lost his courageous battle against Cancer on October 8, 2004. A sadly missed member of our family - RIP Joe.

    work and spending time to think up nonsense for each other.

Diligent, versatile and compassionate. These are three adjectives he knows. Claims to know lots more. Fan of both the film Brighton Rock and Samba Music.

Karamand

Knwon for her somwehat eccenrtic appraoch to spelling, bokers shortbraed high priestess Karamand lives close to Keith. Keith has moved several times but still can't get shot of her.

LeeM

Charity shop loving, hot cross bun scoffing, Robbie Williams defending yow-yow in-chief LeeM once kept wicket for England . Eventually, they demanded the wicket back and LeeM had to get another hobby. Reliable Treehouse team player, can be played in any position, although, strictly speaking, that's not for now. A highly literate poster, LeeM can often be found posting lengthy, well argued articles on music and TV. A lover of all things Big Brother, he is always keen to ponder on the social aspects of which BB housemate has the nicer norks and whether etiquette requires a bottle of red or white wine for those night time, solitary, lawn shenanigans. He is also the Treehouse's leading advocates for the canonisation of Harry Hill and is a leading light in the 'Wolverhampton: International City of the Bun' campaign.

Little Known Fact -LeeM is considering moving to Telford, as it is equidistant away from the four major bun factories in the UK.

Lightersideguy

The Treehouse's resident surrealist and newt fancier. Raised by herrings and only released into society after committing to memory every US sitcom ever made. Diarist, bicyclist and conservationist. Delights in discovering self help internet forums and then ripping them to pieces. Funny.

Lightersideguy was born to privilege- his father was Lord Guy of Hounslow. However, LSG always had a rebellious streak, and at the age of 23 he decided to leave Eton before re-sitting his A levels for the 6th time, to His Lordship's distress . After reading Arthur Ransome's 'Swallows and Amazons' he had become entranced with the Romany way of life, and decided to follow their care-free existence.
Buying a 6 year old Ford Transit and a battered caravan he embraced the life-style, fast becoming proficient in traditional skills such as stealing cars, christmas trees- indeed anything that wasn't nailed down. His abilities in persuading gullible pensioners that their driveways needed re-tarmacing was particularly valued by his tinker mates.

But everything was to change in 1997. Like so many others, LSG was deeply affected by Lady Diana's premature death. He spent a week hanging around her palace, boo-hooing for the cameras, and then de-camped to her burial site, the home of her jowly, shifty-looking brother Lord Althorp. After a further few days here, he realised that the media was no longer interested in his lachrymose opinions, and it was time to move on.

A career change was called for, and LSG decided the world of soft core adult entertainment was the way forward. " I see myself as a one stop shop for all perverts- nothing hard core mind, I don't want to end up inside again" he commented.
His latest venture is 'Christian Porn' - " It worked for rock music, and it can work in adult entertainment, providing it is done tasteful like" said the newly enthused entrepreneur.

Thankfully LSG still finds time in his busy schedule for Treehouse postage, maintaining the highest standard in piss-poor satire.

LindnArden

Well, his avatar shows Van Morrison and his name is taken from a Van song, so it's a far bet that our boy LA's a Van the Man fan. He won't tell us if he's got a Brown-eyed Girl, though, but Linden, please don't go - it's a marvellous night for a moondance.

LushAttic

Lush has recently been woken by the sound of Norris McWhirter banging on his
door wanting to stick him in the Guinness Book of Records for his prodigious
posting to the Treehouse. A railwayman by trade, Lush rarely hits the
buffers although his prediliction for Sci-fi and all that carry on is, frankly weird.
With interests including sci-fi/fantasy fiction, real-ale, prog rock and internet messageboards, it rarely gets geekier than that. He hasn't been well but is on the mend and for that we are all grateful. Posts way too much, and lives in a signal box. Likes to write songs about aliens.

  1. All time Favourite TV Programme - Monty Python
  2. Favourite Football Team - Spurs.

Little Known Fact - Lush Attic can't sing, but can take his pants down and hum.

Macca

Purveyor of piss-poor satire and quiche conneissuer. Writer of kick-ass book. Reputed gay lover of Lushattic. Close personal friend of Tony Blair PM. Easily the funniest man on the board, with PPS coming out of his ears, and his insomnia stories amusing millions.

  8. Your track on the Treehouse CD - You Only Get What You Give by the New Radicals
  9. Highlight or favourite ever thread on the Treehouse - It would be unfair to choose one highlight. I consider the Treehouse to be one long highlight. Andrew's maintenance of the site should be rewarded with an OBE or something, the clips are fantastic. The people on the board are funny, clever and delightful. That said, the threads where people argue and end up leaving are my favourites.

Little Known Fact - Macca is incontinent, but great with cleansing products.


Magyar

 

The Username reveals a Hungarian background but Magyar is now firmly entrenched as the Treehouse's own Irish correspondent. Along with London Dungeoness, Dolly Dagger, Nmgnl and Mrs Billy Evans, Magyar is one of the fantastic five who marched into the crusty old gentleman's club that the
Treehouse was in danger of becoming, cleaned up, washed the curtains and
generally plumped up the cushions. Thanks to these lovely ladies, all of
whom know that the way to a man's heart is swiftly upwards, starting with a
kick in the unmentionables.

  8. Your track on the Treehouse CD - Aretha Franklin - Good Times
  9. Highlight or favourite ever thread on the Treehouse - The Sunday Night Chats are usually good fun.
Mark/Marcus

Another aspiring author whose identity is a constant source of conjecture. Is he Mark Kermode? Whatever. His Diary of Alex Ferguson and World Cup Diaries cured many Treehousers of their insomnia. His Lineker Anecdote achieved notoriety before it had even been posted such is the power this man has over the gullible masses. After the creaming of the Treehouse adopted the hilarious moniker "Skimmed Milk". Loves the Boss. (Bruce Springsteen)

Likes to write a million words when three will do, but his stories are a work of art. Central character in the great Treehouse split of 2002, and responsible for deflating the egos of a great many.

MickeyBoy

With his poofy little beard & his taste in garish Hawaiian shirts, the
Treehouse's own Ali Bongo is actually a taxi driver, but don't believe all
he says about swanking around Berkshire & West London chauffering Patrick Stewart & the rest of the Start Trek crew around. That's right, in reality, 4' 11" midget Mick really does the late shift round Staines and has to sit on a box to see over the steering wheel. Mick's monthly movie quizzes are now deeply embedded in Treehouse folklore, if only because you have to be a hybrid of George Lucas & Quentin Tarantino to answer even half of the questions Midget Mick sets. Mick married his long term partner Mindy, from Mork & Mindy fame, just 3 months ago, yet the altitude in Colorado, where they spend 6 months of the year strongly affects Mindy's gestation period meaning they already have a daughter, who they christened No.1 Daughter.

Treehouse Groupee who has cleaned bowled Nicholas Parsons, had Steve Redgrave trapped LBW, had can of Tango stolen by Jeremy Beadle during 5-a-side football tournament and been told to, "Watch it Pal", by Ian MacCaskill.

Monkey Puzzle

All round nice guy, and music afficionado, although he is probably better known on the Treehouse for his musical tastes and sometime intemperate posting style. Named his Treehouse persona after the Chilean Pine that grows in his front garden. Well, it probably doesn't grow that much as it is now a stunted and twisted mockery of its former glory. There's a lot of traffic, perhaps the toxins in the exhaust fumes are causing abnormal growth. Alternatively, if it is drawing water from the canal... I seem to have drifted a bit off topic. Drives to Kent every week, supports Notts, getting married next year. Has a rather unhealthy obsession with Arpster's sexlife.

MrBungle

As his name suggests, he's a massive fan of the Californian band of the same name who I've never heard of, but am fully prepared to condemn out of hand.His Username is also a reminder that he once famously was told to "Feck Off" by Bungle when touring the Blockbusters TV Studios. Only Treehouser ever to use the word ribald. A possible rival to Trembirth in the Mr Magoo Stakes in that MrB claims not to be attracted to Gail Porter, any of the Spice Girls, Gabby Yorath, Denise Van Outen, Jennifer Lopez or Dannii Minogue. Likes Slade, Flower of Scotland & Liverpool.
One true, one untrue:-

  • MrB once spent 25 minutes explaining to a clearly uninterested Roy Evans that Phil Babb and Paul Ince were shit and should be sacked.
  • MrB once got onstage at a Supergrass gig, waited to get thrown off, didn't and just started dancing around until i got bored and got back into the crowd.

When he was about 13 his Bedroom Posters consisted of Martika and Betty Boo. Father of two Bunglettes - Alyssa May and Liam Shankly. Another of the Treehouse's Liverpool contingent and another Scouse music fan.

Mr Inside

 

Taking his name from a former 1940's American Footballer, but for a cruel twist of fate (her parents thought he was an unruly oik), Mr Inside was so nearly the first Treehouse Aristocrat. AKA Vulvic Paraffin, Destroyer of Worlds.

Mrs Billy Evans

One half of our only husband and wife team. She's the wife. Fortunately, she isn't married to Chris Evans, but instead has to cope with her husbands lifelong ambition to get Dan onto Radio 2. This constant pressure has resulted in her turning to smut at every opportunity. Steeped in the tradition and history of British sitcom and for some inexplicable reason an expert in audio books.
The Username (Chris Evans wife) is a nod towards Danny.The Treehouse's very own Rock Chick. Born under a bad sign, and ( with TIAB ) assigned to a bad prawn, she's our very own Stevie Nicks, without the weight problem, annoying adenoidal tones and white powder dependency.The commuting-hating voice of good humoured reason in a cacophony of shouty bollocks.

Pete n Dud

Fortunately for those of us who have sworn off swearing, P&D has chosen an early version of his comedy heroes as his usual Message Board avatar - if he'd gone for Derek and Clive, we'd have run out of asterisks ages ago.

  1. All time Favourite TV Programme - Bilko. (Tragically, a paltry 'best of' tape is all that remains of the dynamic duo's seminal work, "Not Only But Also")
  2. Favourite Football Team - AFC Wimbledon. Having spent thirty three years of my life devoted to Wimbledon FC, I was amongst those who were repeatedly lied to by the board, and the wholsale move to Milton Keynes was the last straw. I have now rediscovered the pleasures of changing ends at half time and having a post match drink with the opposition, and have started enjoying my football again. During the summer,I worship at the altar of Surrey County Cricket Club
  3. Dan was best on - The Daz adverts. I was convinced.

  9. Highlight or favourite ever thread on the Treehouse - I await Mrs Billy Evans' Friday alphabet quiz eagerly, if only to confirm the slowness of my
    company's interner connection. I also quite enjoyed my £TH1500 win for reaching the final of the World Snooker, despite being blown away by andrewoafc.

"R"

Enigmatic single letter monickered Treehouse legend. Here from as near to the beginning of time as makes no difference. As the man himself said "quality not quantity". Main contributor to the Treehouse's Audio Section for many years. R's distinguishing features include:

  • One of the few TH contributors who actually talks about Danny Baker!
  • Usually up to date with the latest news & what's happening on the radio show
  • Ability to locate fantastic offers on the Internet & pass these on to us
    undeserving Treehousers
  • Unnerving icon who's eyes blink every five seconds - you have to watch a
    while before you catch them
  1. All Time Favourite TV Programme - Auf Wiedersehen, Pet [1st & 2nd series only]
  2. Favourite Football Team - Liverpool
  3. Dan was best on - Talk Radio. Three and a half hours every Saturday!!!

  5. Favourite Crisp - Ah, now we're talking! Football Crazy - bacon flavour puffs!

Robbo

Famous for his Aryan robot looky-likey avatar, Robbo must be one of the few Treehousers who's job gives him the one thing that even Chris Evans in his prime couldn't demand - every other Friday off! A former DJ, Robbo's Username is an abbreviation of "Rob! Bo selecta". Just don't mention Barbara Windsor (or Robbie Williams, or Mel C, or Trevor McDonald, or Jamie Oliver, etc. in his presence.
Brought the fact that "A whale's penis is called a dork" to the wider Treehouse.

  9. Favourite Treehouse highlight or memory over the years - Strangely this is the Great Flounce of October '02. Although it was a time when many people left it was also highly memorable and rather funny watching 'grown men squabble'. Leaving the board for too long meant you missed posts because they were quickly edited making entertaining viewing.

Little Known Fact - Robbo once dated Nell McAndrew, who threw them back at him, harder.
