Bad Mood - Lonnie Gordon

"Gordon's Alive?"

Advantages: Brian Blessed's in it shouting "DIVE" alot! And it's got the best soundtrack to a film... ever!
Disadvantages: Maybe to camp and colourful for some. Avoid if you lack a sense of humour or are looking for something high-brow.

FLASH GORDON "Flash - a-ah - saviour of the universe. Flash - a-ah - he'll save every one of us." Or so the Queen soundtrack goes over the comic-book enriched title credits (something Spiderman 2 would later borrow). It serves to get the audience's toes immediately tapping in anticipation for the film to begin outright and, for some bizarre reason, coupled with the spandex pants, phallic shaped spaceships, an over-developed sense for bright, garish colours and Brian Blessed shouting "DIVE" to his birdman hordes whenever he gets the chance, Flash Gordon comes across as a deliriously brilliant, camp piece of outrageous space opera cinematics.

Review of Flash Gordon (DVD)

Slow and steady...Gordons Sloe GIN...

Advantages: Taste's sweet, refreshing, very moreish.
Disadvantages: very moreish...lol

Gin is Gin right ? WRONG !! Recently I was introduced by a friend to Gordon's sloe gin, something I have never come across though brings to mind the Flavoured Absolut vodkas which are also really nice. It's the same kind of thing but Gin. I gave it a try (nope it didn't take much persuasion I like my spirits) and well - it's a really GREAT drink. The bottle is same as your regular screw top Gordon's Gin bottle but clear not green, the gin itself is a pretty deep-purple-red berry colour though still a clear spirit, not cloudy.. There is a faint pleasant smell of fruitiness along with the normal 'gin' smell, yes I always smell drinks before drinking?..still gin taste but there's also the definite fruity flavour of berries, it's sweet with a nice aftertaste?a bit moreish All this yummy tastiness is down to the sloe berries ...
