After reading her article in the Guardian, is Vicky that naive?

I like her generally and was shocked that she liked a man who laughed at cancer.

Are you saying this with a straight face... or the face of a baby having a smoke.

I thought it was a very good article and , no, she wasn't being naive. She referred to him as her 'old poker friend'. The reality is that many of us have 'poker friends' who we know absolutely nothing about away from the poker environment.
 To me, it seemed to be more about how our perceptions of, and assumptions about people who we never really knew, change, when faced with the harsh reality of what they are really like.
 Vicky seems like a really nice person to me. Her book's a cracker too. I don't know her in real life though obv, so who knows?  Smiley

Exactly my point, I have not criticised the article at all.

But I am not keen on people who wish cancer on a fellow poker player.

I guess I must be a country bumpkin.

No, I believe that the consumers of images of babies smoking share some responsibility with the producers of such pictures.

Not a big deal for me, but seeing as you asked.

Got anything interesting to say on the subject, or do you just want to criticise my avatar. Do you still watch Thomas the Tank engine?

What about people who wish fellow poker players to die in a gas fire?

Is that ok? Or don't you like them either?
