In 2002, he unsuccessfully offered a reward of £1,000 for the return of his cue, which had been stolen along with his car.
He is a close friend as well as competitor of Ronnie O'Sullivan, who borrowed Michie's cue in the semi-final of the 2006 World Championship, because O'Sullivan had persistent problems with his own cue, especially the tip, which Michie helped him re-attach.
The tight-knit pro snooker world involves Michie in other ways, as of early 2007 he is in physical training to prepare for charity marathons to raise funds for the anti-cancer foundation that is the legacy of now-deceased fellow pro Paul Hunter.

Famous quotes containing the word table:
“But hospitality must be for service, and not for show, or it pulls down the host. The brave soul rates itself too high to value itself by the splendor of its table and draperies. It gives what it hath, and all it hath, but its own majesty can lend a better grace to bannocks and fair water than belong to city feasts.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
