Why did you choose your board name?: What you see is what you get! If you look up “anonymous” in the dictionary it says “without character”. No-one has ever accused me of that!
How long have you been supporting Quins?: Financially and vocally, 2 years. I “followed their fortunes” prior to that
How did you start supporting Quins?: “It just started quietly and grew!”
If you play(ed) rugby what position did/do you play?: We played the boys at school once when we were 15. Positions didn’t really come into it. We just ran around pulling the boys’ shorts down until they gave up. I also wandered up and down the wing a bit in the tag rugby comp at The Stoop for the Ladies. I broke a nail!
Best ever Quins game: So hard to choose. Probably 16/3/03. The abseil, the win, the party!
Favourite off pitch Quins experience: Dancing with Billy Fulton at the Players Awards Dinner. I’d include having my ear nibbled by Jeweller if I could remember it!
What is the most ridiculous rugby related thing you have done?: Who Me? I don’t think I’ve EVER done ANYTHING ridiculous in my life!
Favourite Ground (after The Stoop): Twickenham
Favourite Quins Player: Jason Leonard
Favourite Non-Quins Player: Billy Fulton
Most likely to say?: I’m just off down The Stoop
Least likely to say?: We only ever have really ugly scrum halves at Quins!
What are your non-rugby pastimes?: Lots of them have become rugby-related! Sewing, making jewellery, quizzes, eating, drinking, fund-raising, cricket, music, reading.

I’m reading Father Frank, Paul Burke’s first novel (no, not our Burkey) , at the moment. It’s hilarious.

When you were young what did you want Jim to Fix for you?: Everything. I came up with something new every week. I distinctly remember wanting to marry both George Harrison and Cat Stevens and thought that should be pretty easy for him to sort out.
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 have to use matching pegs when I hang washing out.
2. I hit a wing mirror on my first driving test.
3. I once sat in a bath of baked beans to raise money for charity.
