What do Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Mohammed Ali and Tarzan all got in common? They are all mentioned in Barquin Mad's profile.
Board Name: Barquin Mad
Age: 40 (sob)
Location: Banstead
Occupation: Quack and provider of philtres for the sick
Why did you choose your board name?: Proctalgia Fugax was too obscure, and caused a certain number of raised eyebrows
How long have you been supporting Quins?: Regularly for 1 season, haphazardly for 10 seasons
How did you start supporting Quins?: They played Cardiff many seasons ago, and always had a hankering to follow since then. Unfortunately my household is predominately girlie and roundball, but have now got my 12 year old interested, which gives me a great excuse to introduce her to the East stand bar after the games!

Best ever Quins game: Beating Leicester
Favourite off pitch Quins experience: The smile on my daughters face when meeting Woody, and Beating Leicester
What is the most ridiculous rugby related thing you have done?: You wouldn’t want to know, and I’m certainly not gonna tell. But on another occasion I spent the night in a cell having uprooted a tree in The Aldwych, the same night as I puked into a yard glass and was made to finish the refilled glass – fool!
Favourite Ground (after The Stoop): Bailey Park, Abergavenny!, not really, the old Cardiff Arms Park

Favourite Non-Quins Player: Thomas Casten***de (sp)
Most likely to say?: “Mine’s a pint”
Least likely to say?: “Martin Johnstone’s a good bloke”
What are your non-rugby pastimes?: Fishing, drinking, eating, drinking some more, fishing some more, photography, cycling to pubs and drinking more.
Favourite Film(s): Shawshank and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (sad git)
Favourite TV Programme(s): Coldfeet (equally sad git)

Favourite Quotation(s): “No Vietcong ever called me nigger” Mohammed Ali.
Favourite Place(s) to visit: St Emillion, Paris, Calabria, Peru, Nepal and Aus.
When you were young what did you want Jim to Fix for you?: I always wanted a Chopper Bike
Tell us THREE things about yourself that we wouldn't know.
BUT, TWO of these should be true,
but ONE should be totally made up: 		1. I won 3rd prize in a Butlins tarzan competition
2. I broke a fish tank in a pub on my 21st and the fish ended up on the floor
3. I once put a snooker ball in my mouth, couldn’t get it out and had to have it surgically extracted.
