Today's usual suspect is one of my many first cousins. At a family event some years ago I discovered that he was also into rugby. The rest is history, meet Mr M@d.

Place(s) to visit Praia do Vau, Algarve; Amersfoort, the Netherlands!
How long supporting LI? Since a drunken visit to Sunbury with herself, c/o BrianC, Paddy's Night 2000.
Best ever LI game (Excluding 2002 cup final) Only been to a couple - looking forward to 29th August at Ravenhill.
Favourite LI experience off pitch (Excluding 2002 cup final) LISC Tour, Paris, 2000 - getting asked by a Yank to keep the noise down in 1st Class on the Eurostar, Paddy's w/e 2000! Oh, and Ireland won too.
How did you start supporting LI? Accident of birth, BrianC is my cousin!
What are your non-rugby pastimes? Suzuki Bandit 600, golf at Belvoir Park G.C. - handicap 16.
Any Irish connection? Born and raised.
Most likely to say? "Feck off, Bush!"
Least likely to say? "You've got to admire that Tony Blair's sincerity."
Tell us something about you we don't know. I was the first Northern Irish contestant on Countdown. Beaten on the Conundrum, but we still enjoy the effort presented by my opponent in an early round. Said with a lisp "Sweepy - like a sweepy movement". As my spell checker reminds me - it wasn't allowed.
