The Tower of Babel: tongues’r'us

Posted on January 17, 2010 | 5 Comments

HOW MARVELLOUS the Interweb is. Google is not “evil” but it’s very “live”.

Magee is the 93rd most common name in Ireland, or so it is told.

Sometimes Google  it makes me wonder who I am. Am I Dr Mike Magee, who writes books about all sorts of stuff?  Am I the famous poker player? Am I the soccer player, born in Chicago 1984?  Am I MikeyMagee on Twitter? Am I tattoo artist Mike Magee? Have I translated Sanskrit books into English? Am I Adamson Rust? Am I Eva Glass? Am I Eva’s sister, Harta Glass? Am I C. Shanti? Am I Lokanath Maharaj?

Or am I none of the above?

It’s all very confusing. Who am I?

Am I a Lavengro or a Sapengro, pal?

Oxford Council needs a kick up the slush

Posted on January 9, 2010 | 7 Comments

IN CENTRAL OXFORD today I was quite horrified by the lack of gritting the local council had achieved since the snows fell earlier this week.

It’s like they’ve done practically nothing – so pedestrians are sliding and falling like ninepins and on Cornmarket the shops should be held up to ridicule for not lending a hand.

Just here, on this corner, I had to act fast to steady an old lady who was going down big time.  Her hubby said: “This is a disgrace. We should vote this lot out.”  As a voter, I agree.

But surely the shops on Cornmarket could have done a  little better too? Or are they just in it for the money, honey? ♥
