I know it is sacrilege to say it around here and JimC is probably already on a flight to Liverpool to smash my head in with the funny shaped bottle it comes in. Though even to an alcoholic like me gin is fucking awful. If all I had left was a bottle of gin and some toilet duck then...Mmmmm toilet duck. :shock:

Gin, of course, is only appreciated by folk with an exquisitely refined sensibility...

I've run out of booze. Just found a miniature of Amaretto that my son's GF left in the cupboard, which I've dumped into my coffee. Must pay more attention in future.

It's not an impossible goal: just work your way up through the ranks of the editors behind a major English dictionary, then redefine the meaning of 'contrarian'.

Otherwise I don't think I'd describe myself by a term that clearly doesn't apply.

well of course, if you ever were to agree, you would cease to be a contrarian.
