Paul 'Prawn in his pants' Dinsdale
Master of Ceremonies
Original & 100% Member
An original member who loves all things curry....but hates all things 'seafood'! Has been building up his resistance to hotter curry of late and is developing his curry repertoire every month! With his area of expertise being in Gee and its various uses in Indian cuisine he is always on hand to help the resident chefs. In fact he has become very close with the chef of one of our visited restaurants!
Favourite Curry: Chicken Tikka Jalfrezi
Special Move: The 'Too hot to handle' cuddle
Stuart 'clear the room' Obee
Original & 82% Member
Stuart is an original member of the Curry Club and loves nothing more than spending an evening with like minded men drinking beer and eating curry. He also loves to talk politics, sport and the latest recipes from Madame Jaffrey. He often brings his own spice rack to meetings to show the lads his latest purchase. Suffers slightly from 'after CC flatulence' and once nearly killed Ricky 'Tikka' Taylor and passengers on the way home from CC3.
Favourite Curry: Spinach Tikka Massala
Special Move: The car clearer (only available up to an hour after curry club)
Mr Dal 'Mother Ducker' Knappit
Original & 91% Member
An original member of the Curry Club Dal is the resident Duck expert. He's had more Ducks than all the other members put together. This is his real area of expertise but he also combines this with his dance skills and his collection of over 300 types of freeze-dried Coriander. His highest point in curry club was when he performed the swan dive in front of a crowd of lusty women at Curry Club 2. His lowest point was when he realised he had gone one step too far with the 'chilli challenge' at CC4 and spent the day after locked in trap 1 at work.
Favourite Curry: Duck Tikka Vindaloo
Special Move: Swan Dive from the top rope
James 'The Doctor' Scott
Original member & 82% Member
James is an original member of the Curry Club who is enthusiastic 85% of the time. However once had the cheek to miss a Curry Club meeting because his wife was giving birth to their first child. This excuse was not deemed acceptable by the other members of CC and as such James was threatened with expulsion. He was desperate to avoid the shame this would bring on him and his family and so agreed to do the punishment alternative. He fully managed to put the Scotch Bonnet Chilli into his belly...without the use of his mouth. 'Affectionately' known as the doctor due to thermometer body part which is occasionally used as a part piece if he has one glass of red wine or more.
Favourite Curry: Chicken Sali
Special Move: The 'Go-Go Gadget' Naan Manoeuvre
Steve 'The (mini) Sheik' Nicholls
100% member
A relatively new member to the Curry Club Steve was asked to join after he had campaigned for the last twelve months for the chance to join. 'I loves a curry I do' claimed the half welsh, half Ramsden Bellhouse man. And he has proved that with 100% attendance since his invite. The only member of the Curry club to wear a dinner jacket and bow tie to each meeting. The other members have asked if he would consider wearing trousers and pants as well but Steve is still unsure.
Favourite curry: Lamb Bhuna
Special Move: The Anaconda responder
Seabass
100% member
The local celebrity of the group. If not found at the bar in the Chequers, or at LA Fitness in the aerobics studio you can bet he will be at Curry Club! Joining the group late hasnt held him back and his Curry knowledge has increased hugely in such a short time. What Seabass doesn't know about the difference between Northern and Southern Indian cuisine isnt worth knowing!
Favourite Curry: Vegetable Dupiaza
Special Move: The Spicy Trouser Elephant
Chris 'thats a mint sauce stain...honest' Johnston
Booking Master & 100% member
Potato Passanda
Chris brings with him a wealth of background knowledge from previous ventures such as 'Chinese day out' and 'Thai Banqueting night'. He is also keen on the history of grilled lamb.
Such is his enthusiasm for Curry Club that he sometimes wakes in the middle of the night in a sweat and shouting about a bhuna or a Pathia - he is 100% committed to the cause and is also the singer song writer of the CC anthem.
Favourite Curry: Goldfish grilled with tikka
Special Move: The 3 second plate clearance
Lee 'The folded Prawn' Joyce
Newest member of the CC due to Jels excursion to Singapore. Lee has been on the waiting list for several years and was overwhelmed when he finally voted into the Club. He broke down in tears and openly urinated in his underpants. However, Lee should not have been surprised to be invited into our bosom as he brings with him some awesome qualities such as 'he can afford to pay his way', he likes a lot of food or food a lot and of course the fact he used to run a 'Make your own Indian Spices' school in deepest Rajasthan'
Favourite Curry: Goat Bhuna
Special Move: The Tandoori Bum-Split
