Off Topic YOUR FAVOURITE GIN?

Never quite sure with you .

Do you mean alcohol , ( which can be good for all things pain related for a period of time )

or the ingredients in total that make up Gin ?

 

Apparently raisins soaked in gin can alleviate joint pain .

 

Crimbo Eve when I was about 18 and me and my mates lifted some full bottles of spirits from an offy (not easy to hide a full glass bottle under a box jacket!). when I got outside I was gutted to discover that I had picked up a bottle of Gordon's Gin and not Scotch or Rum or ANYTHING else. Ended up drinking the whole bottle and was as sick as a dog for a couple of days...just the smell of the stuff turns my stomach now.

 

Ah right . Ta .

 

Actually you could argue, nothing could be more Spanish. They love it. My local distillery Sipsmith makes a good iteration.

I prefer a good bourbon or rum. Or mescal, tequila

 

Fever tree aromatics is a very nice Tonic water. Like a drop of Gin, but Gordons does me fine, not a connoisseur

 

Dropped £36 on a bottle of Brockman’s gin, and shared it with my lad who gets his gcse results tomorrow.

It was a real Dad/Son evening that comes along once in a lifetime.

 

you sure it's not Swiss? It's named after Lake Geneva iirc.

 

Its named after the Dutch name for Juniper Berries. Jeneverberes.

Remember KLM used to give passengers a choice of the Dutch houses filled with Genever. The Dutch passengers used to pull out a list of what they need for the full set. I would drink the gin and then leave the house on the plane when I got off.

 

Not a drinker but I've heard that Gin is 'fashionable' nowadays

In which case I would have been 'out' on principle

 

It’s more popular than it was.

I’ve always been partial to a long, cold G&T. It’s not a fad for me.

Recent times has seen the emergence of lots of new brands, which is always welcome.

 

Still gay though yeh Hiag?

 

it's popular because it's considered a diet drink, generally drank with slim-line tonic.

 

I don’t feel gay, Burly.

I’ll ask my boyfriend if he thinks I’m gay.

 

^^^^ BOOKMARKED.

 

It was a joke!

****s ‘n’ giggles. Nothing more.

 

I took it to be a very subtle pisstake of Piskie. Very clever I thought.

 

Yes, I thought that, too.

Just covering my back.
