this happened in 2018 an i never thought to inform yospos. i went to an rms talk in london and went along with the group of sycophants that gathered around him at the end. he took us to Foyles (book store) and then to a chinese restaurant in chinatown that i forget the name of. i then helped him get back to where he was staying because he's pretty unfit to say the least and carries a LOT of heavy poo poo with him (read: i carried his things). caught the last train back home after spending pretty much the entire day with him.

he is a nice guy to hang around with and you quickly figure out how to stop him from going on controversial tangents.

as problematic as this guy is i think it was pretty cool to get to spend so much time with him.

if you are going to eat dinner with rms make sure you go to a buffet style place because he will do the ordering (while making dietary considerations - i cannot eat nuts so he ordered no nut-containing things) without consulting you so you'll need the options


how bad did he smell

no. there are many stories of people inviting him over for a conference and then he refuses to leave for like a month until he secures another place to squat
