Gin ****

retro:electro

The glasses are fcuking ridiculous sure there'll be potpourri in them next. I actually don't mind the taste of it but I'd be scarlet carrying a fish bowl around. There's a new Gin bar opened up near me and they are actually raping wallets. €12 for a G&T in some knobbish glass with half a green grocers swimming in

lol this thread. Those who enjoy the sip can't say sh1t that will be better than the first post and if they do it is always going to be, eh good comeback. Legendary thread!

I'm still at a loss as to why some people get so bothered by others enjoying different drinks. The backlash against the craft beer revolution left me bewildered as well. More variation in the drinks market is surely a good thing no? I know OP is taking the p!ss but some people genuinely feel that way.

i used to drink gin as a short at the end of the night out with the missus years ago, ordinary glass, straight tonic, no other ****, but she got me to give it up

He isnt taking the piss though, us gin **** are taking the piss by continuously taking pictures of our sweet sweet gin. Maybe he is just jealous that he doesn't get the gin buzz, and feels left out. Or maybe not getting his five a day like us gin drinkers are, or had a bad pint of Coors light last night and is a bit hungover. I find in those situations a bloom gin, cardamom, juniper and poachers tonic saves the day #gnt #ginblogger

Can't stomach gin at all

Sam Hain

Can't stomach the original post, the OP has just robbed the skeletal frame of his other post on boards about prosecco and managed to make it into a humourless overbearing rant. Good job. You have outdone yourself.

Which post is it that was robbed? Was it the one in the prosecco thread that I also wrote? Didn't know you could plagiarise your own posts but there you go!

That opening post is hilarious.. What a rollercoaster.

It's an emotional breakdown of a man that's just had enough. It's like a gin version of Falling Down starring Michael Douglas.

I haven't been around to witness the gin revolution but I reckon I'd be a bit confused to see it.. Juniper berries aren't exactly everyone's cup of tea.

Omackeral, can I please get an exemption from Gin wankery - I was partial to G&Ts in the 1990s when in my early 20s and was ridiculed for drinking an old lady's drink. I just like how it tastes, please can't we all get along?

Had to laugh at Sam Hain there a few posts up. Thought they had a real "gotcha" moment catching someone stealing posts from another thread and playing them off as their own. Even went as far as to use the term post robbing wanker, ya know, like Gin Wanker. Then it was pointed out it was the same poster in the prosecco thread that had made this one so they backtracked and changed it like a motherfcuker. God bless the ninja edit!

Yes. You are a vintage gin drinker. You ma'am, have my respect.

Thank you Sir. I shall raise a glass of Hendricks and Schweppes to you at the first possible opportunity (not Fever Tree, 'cause I only have Schweppes atm - tonic **** is a whole new thread!).

Only ever had one G+T because of a mate whos mad into it. I've never felt the earth spin so fast.

I’ll tell you how bad Cork dry gin is. A few weeks ago I had a hard day at the office. Working late enough to get home past closing time I was dying for a drink to relax the nerves. I don’t have beer in the house but tend to have some spirits but was out. I was in despair until I remembered the Cork dry gin I keep for the aforementioned aged relative (do keep up).

Then I despaired again and went to bed sober.

Here we go. This is the exact wankology I'm referring to. Fresh from Lovin' Dublin of course, only published this morning.

Do you love gin? Well today is your lucky day my boozy little juniper berry.

Tigh Nora, Galway's first and only dedicated gin bar, is searching for a Tigh Nora GINbassador and it's a dream come true for Gin drinkers.

Couldn't take much more of the "article" than that. Utter scutter. GINbassador, get it?! Totes hilairs! The opening question and answer, though, is among the worst I've ever had the misfortune to read. Civilisations developed language and you do this to it? I might apply and burn it to the ground......

Careful now, that reply of yours could be deemed a bit notiony and smarmy; a bit too hipster there.

To be fair, I'm a wanker anyway.

Ha we used to drink a similar concoction back in the day. i think we added coke as well.

on the gin, 20 years ago we went through a gin and red lemonade phase, half a bottle of gin mixed with half a litre of red lemonade and you were in some form for the night.

It doesn't matter. Either way you'll end up like that Leopoldo guy in To Rome with Love.

I mocked my friends as they pranced around pubs and venues with their goblets of gin. Then I tried it and noted that it wasn't bad.
Then I went back to mocking them.

I've always found that a few G&T's will sort you out after a proper feed of pints, almost sobering in it's nature.

Now I'm not going to be drinking it out of a goldfish bowl or anything but it's a decent drink that has been corrupted by all this nonsense.

Hilarious OP,

Have noticed this new fad myself, like it's the new "in" thing, being honest I've never drank gin, not crazy into spirits but I do like the occasional whiskey.

Actually I was told over the years that gin makes people fierce depressed, like there was something in it that triggers it.

yourdeadwright

I have to agree with OP we leave in a world full of clones,
The people who put Gin Life on there pics are the same people  , Sorry not sorry , Friyaaa , Fitfam,influencer 's (on the dole)   and all the other **** that all the clones write on there instagram pics, Ireland is full of gooooooooons !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

csallmighty
