Tanqueray versus Bombay Sapphire
I am a gin man.
More specifically I love Bombay Sapphire Gin.
Gin and Tonic with a slice of fresh lime is a very difficult drink to beat.
Well, I have been up all weekend launching a new blog. A friend and I decided it would be fun and the topic is something we’re both quite interested in. It isn’t really a money making venture - we’re just trying to get together a resource that is really comprehensive and that nobody elese has done yet - at least nobody we could find.
It’s been fun, but I have been blogging like a madman all weekend trying to get the content up - as much as possible in the first few days.
So we are pretty happy so far. Day one and we have over 120 unique visitors with an average of 6 page views per person. 1.7 visits per person and 30% of them are hanging around longer than 30 minutes. Lots of room for improvement but for a first day we are very happy and we haven’t even started emailing people to ask for links and plugs yet!
So I decided to celebrate and have a few G&Ts so went down to the local bottle shop.
I couldn’t find my beloved Bombay Sapphire! Gasp!
They had sold out!
Shock.
Horror.
“What else can I drink?” I asked the attendant?
“Tanqueray,” he replied.
It’s a little more expensive, but it’s still pretty popular.
So I take a bottle and make up a G&T and damn!
I am impressed. Very smooth, very tasty.
In fact I am a convert. No more Bombay Saphire for me.
So here I sit, blogging and sipping on a Tanqueray and Tonic thinking that there must be worse things in life to be doing.
I love this game.
