It’s odd when people are different to what you expect – I’m currently reading Ken McLeod’s latest book and it’s very good as usual, but following him on Twitter he’s a rabid pro-smoking advocate so I’ve been having a fun wee argument.

So I’m finding the disconnect between being a massive fan of his writing and thinking he’s a selfish idiot about smoking a bit confusing 😉

You run a bike shop and sell recumbents (I almost typed ‘incumbents’ there for some reason).

Looks like you got previous my son… 😉

Previous for being disconnected from reality?

Yup, probably 😉

Yup 😉

I don’t do that twitter thing, haven’t seen anything on early days… He’s always been seriously anti smoking ban, that whole slippery-slope into authoritarianism thing, no chance it’s just an extension of that? He uses one of those bloody silly e-cigarettes now.

Is the new one good? He lost me a bit with the Restoration Game…

Everl listened to Wagner or read Yukio Mishima?

Actually, I got mixed up – I’m reading The Night Sessions, which isn’t his latest.

Yes, I think that was the basis of his argument.
