E-cigarettes to be banned from Scotland hospital grounds

[Lord Grim]

Every time I see a 'no electronic cigarettes' sign I chuckle to myself and vape away in stealth mode.

I do not own any 'Electronic Cigarettes'

Until they add the term 'Advanced Personal Vaporiser' to their SMOKE FREE (?) policies I'll carry on vaping.

Exactly...Stock Response (Generally on Railway Station platforms when dressed as a civvy): This is neither Electronic or a Cigarette, it is an ELECTRIC nicotine vaporizer, a cigarette is a thin paper tube whilst this is plainly a hefty lump of brass. Quite frankly, if you or your customers can't tell the difference between the two, perhaps you shouldn't be allowed out in public, never mind in the vicinity of over 200 tonnes of moving steel.
Interestingly, I've never once been challenged in the same situation whilst wearing orange overalls and hard hat

Exactly ^^^

May seem off topic, but may as well throw this small story in.

I had the displeasure of visiting someone in a hospital on Sunday, and there is HUGE no smoking signs everywhere. People where smoking in the entrance hanging out of the door, by the sign, on benches etc. I didn't really feel any issue with me vaping there.

I knew you were one of them techno dayglo goths.

They scare me. I've got nothing against fluoro gear and matching falls, as long as it's black. Purple at a pinch.
Are they Goth? Are they Ravers? Are they some weird mutation, like the first 7 Ripley clones, twitching and drooling in the early morning sunlight outside Slimelights, whispering "Kiiiiillll meeeee"?

Damn. You're no fun.

ZT and Mandy would have been frothing at the 18th Century collar to have been likened to them.

I'm going to find a Bowie fan to poke instead...

Ahhh, see. I'm more of a transitional Goth than a Trad Goth. A product of the late '90's, a strange green cocktail, made with too much dry ice, of memories of growing up in the '80's and looking forward into a dark future of EBM, all the while debating whether the Sisters were true Goth and whether Marilyn Manson was acceptable listening (he was).
Add to that the fact that I have been known to wear blue Levi's these days for non-formal occasions, and that I'm far too fat and cheerful to do Gothdom any kind of service (unless you're looking for a particularly disturbing Santa), I find it difficult to get irate.

Lord Grim You and me both, 46 and about 6 stone heavier than my youth, skinny stretch jeans don't really work anymore. I still have my 80's shelly pointy boots but normally wear cargos and sandals or work boots these days with a couple of pairs of New Rocks that haven't even been on in over a year.

More generic black clad rocker than old goth at the minute.

I listened to March Violets yesterday. I might pop on Red Lorry Yellow Lorry after I've finished with the Clash. Go me.
