I'm very superstitious... I never shout at magpies, walk under ladders or put my shoes on the table.
I live in the English countryside, so I'm surrounded by magpies.
Authors are magpies, echoing each other's words and seizing avidly on anything that glitters.
My head was a magpie's nest lined with such bright scraps of information.
I've always loved Newcastle. Even when you're watching their games on television, you can feel the passion of the crowd.
When I first signed for Newcastle, I was still a boy.
We were language's magpies by nature, stealing whatever sounded bright and shiny.
