My mum's work did secret santa last year, and someone gave her 2 bottles of wine in 2 carriers, and the lable said "BOGOF". she thought someone was being mean til I explained it to her

Don't know about that.

A good gin needs to be allowed to express itself - that's why a martini is so good.

It's nice with just plain old tonic.
Mustn't forget the lime though

Richard once drank too much gin,
It started dribbling all the way down his chin.
12 hours later,
His face stuck to a paper,
He couldn't remember where he had 'bin
