Are you Adam Gee?

Mr Gay UK Barnsley heat winner

By way of research for my upcoming project (Codename Sam I Am), I’ve just been watching ‘Are You Dave Gorman?‘ (DVD kindly send to me today by the lovely Dan Lloyd at Avalon Public Relations - Amazon are all out of them, reckless fools) and I can’t really go to bed now without starting to collect together my favourite Adam Gees, the bastards who fight me day after day for Google supremacy and the more retiring ones.

So to get the Adam Gee Collection off to a fruitful start who better than Adam Gee, Mr Gay UK from Barnsley (originally kindly brought to my attention by Mr Robert Marsh of Fremantle Media back in his heady days at C4).

Let’s offset that with a suit, New York attorney Adam M. Gee, a small town lawyer with big city results, specialising in personal injury and medical malpractice (suing against it, that is, not carrying it out).

On the sports front pride of place should probably go to Adam Gee, a shit-hot golfer, the first overseas player since Nick Dougherty in 2001 to win the Lake Macquarie International Amateur Championship. I kid you not.

Irritatingly the owner of www.adamgee.com seems to be some kind of drugged out hippy who makes clothes. Please don’t visit the site - it will only encourage him and probably cost me my top spot in Google in the process. Do you really want to know about the ‘Alchemy of Energee’? Do you buy the notion that fashion provides protective energee and inspiration leading to growth and well being? Or do you think it just keeps you warm? We’re talking about a character who makes clothes with “the fabric of the universe”. He’s peddling something called a Gee Shirt (doesn’t he realise the T refers to the shape? where’s your other arm going to come out in a G-shirt?) He’s flogging Geens - aargh! Let’s hope we don’t share any.

If you are an Adam Gee or know any good ones, please do add them to my nascent collection.

    I’m seeing you in a whole new light and will be looking out for you far and wide. Incidentally, you do appear to have aged somewhat in your first Google image search result.

    I’d also like to take this opportunity to state once again that I am not, in fact, the first test-tube baby.

    I couldn’t resist going to http://www.adamgee.com

    I really wish I could’ve, I can’t stand hippies, especially with slow websites and ‘tripped out’ mantras

    Darn, I knew that would happen ;-)

    Adam Gee and Adam Gee, do tell us more…

    @Louise: Guess you didn’t know I’m also a Master of Disguise.

    Top prize in that Google Images search has got to go to http://www.jonathanreynolds.co.uk/img/beer-meat-link.jpg (which is, weirdly enough, linked to this self-same Adam Gee)

    Interesting to see that Nick Dougherty (mentioned above) is tying with Tiger Woods this morning at the US Masters in Georgia - a good sign for Adam Gee

    So are you a gay golfer? Gee, Adam Gee.

    I have the same problem. I cannot work out how a scottish dentist called douglas miller manages to come first on a google search ahead of the world’s leading writer on personal development who is also keeping the UN afloat single-handed.

    We live in interesting times.

    PS - I think golfer AG has the yips.

  12. ArkAngel on 17 April, 2008

    Yips?

  13. practical psychologist on 20 April, 2008

    The yips are golf’s answer to ‘dartitis’. It happens when you are putting and the tension of the moment makes you uncontrollably ‘clam up’ as you address the ball. Golfer Bernhard Langer used to get it often - remember that little piece in ‘The Best’? A very good example.

    That all round sporting legend Eric Bristow (or ‘Brissie’ to his friends) used to get the same thing when he threw darts. It finished him as a player.

    I am the real Adam Gee, thank you! And it’s “local (not small town) lawyers, big city results”. Battling for google supremacy is what everyone does nowadays. At least I am the only one on this side of the pond engaged in the battle.

    You forgot to mention my blog (www.nyinjurylawblog.com), which doesn’t stack up very well in the google rankings compared to yours. I will have to try harder.

    Damn that Mr. Gay UK!!!!!

    Delighted to make your acquaintance, Adam M. I got the “small town” from your site at http://www.zifflaw.com/gee.html - top of the page: “Small town lawyers, Big city results!!” Enjoyed your blog - never knew puffed rice cereals could be so hazardous! I’m going to be much more cautious at breakfast from now on - and if I have any problems I know who I’m gonna call!
