    Good god I hate gin ****, I hate them. They're absolutely everywhere nowadays. Ubiquitous bastards. Look at ya there, standing with your poxy goldfish bowl full of gin with seawood or lettuce or probably kale swirling around in it you hipster piece of sh*t. ''It's got cucumber in it so it's one of my 5-a-day lol''. No, no it's not. You're a wanker. And gin bars are now a thing too? ''Uh sorry, what tonics do you recommend?''. Seriously, you try-hard motherfcukers. Stop trying to be into gin. Get that perfect filter for your gin pics... well you can fcuk off too Lovin' Dublin or whatever clickbaity gick is on the bandwagon this week. Gin tea bags, gin biscuits... Christ make it stop. Gin was the tipple of hairy lipped ladies back in the day was it not? Auld ones playing bridge or something? Now the girls drinking it are youngones that, this time last year, were falling around locked on blue WKD bawling their eyes out on street corners. Now it's all Gin + Doggy Ear Filter + Be Rude Not To caption. Who would it be rude to? Who?!

    God I despise you all.

    So what's your favourite gin, OP?

    Gin's great after a massive feed of pints. Clears the palate.

    And after a big meal.

    Or now. God I'd murder a gin right now.

    That's for the Prosecco chicks. Also, that hasn't been funny in about 3 years.

    Gin is the new "thing people like which annoys people who don't like it" then? Glad it's moved on from craft beers anyway.

    Fun fact about Gin + Tonic.

    Gin is in fact, the mixer for tonic and not the other way around.

    [uncle albert voice]During the war[/uncle albert voice] tonic was taken for the quinine as it apparently helped with Malaria but tonic tasted like sh*t, so they added Gin (and sugar) to make it bearable.

    It still tastes like sh*t imo.

    I thought you had to be a 60+ aul one to order a "gin & tonic"

    Duly noted OP. I'll go back to drinking blue WKD and bawling my eyes out on street corners.

    The cucumber makes all the difference.

    Nah, even back in '94 it was cool to drink G&T. Although in those days we called it "Supersonic"

    Pints are it

    Can't beat a Hendricks with tonic and cucumber.

    He takes his whiskey neat.

    No way you'd beat a man like that in a fight.

    I'll drink gin but only as a short with some tonic water. None of that gay glasses full of crap stuff.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Just to be clear, I've no bother with people enjoying a drink. It's when they're being cnuts posting pics everywhere they go of this gin or that gin and all of a sudden they're all about that gin life. I won't accept it. I can't.

    Its just the hipsters at it again.

    First beards, now gin.

    A trip to Slane with whatever drink our then 16 year old selves could get our hands on the year the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age were playing put me off gin for life. Never, ever again. :(

    I've always assumed that drinking gin was very similar to what I'd expect drinking dodgy aftershave to be like.

    Bastards, forcing those photo's in your face.

    I haven't seen any photo's but then again I don't really use instagram or facebook. Because of that I avoid all sorts of annoying sh1te. No photo's of meals. No photo's of sh1t sunsets. No photo's of their little rug rats. No wedding anniversary photo's showing what they looked like 10 years ago.

    So. Many. Apostrophes.

    It also reminds me of Ms. Hannigan.

    yeah... I have new glasses and they're making me stupid.

    That's the excuse I'm sticking to.

    Ah an "I don't like new things" thread.
    Always fun.

    Gin with Elderflower cordial is delicious and is even better with some prosecco. It does have to be a good floral gin with some deep, woody base notes, otherwise it just tastes a bit pretentious.
