DIY disasters
I just can't do power tools. They always fly out of control and end up embedded somewhere they shouldn't. I've no idea how I've still got all the appendages I was born with.
Add to that the fact that nothing ends up square, able to support weight or free of sticking-out sharp bits and you can see why I try to avoid DIY.

Mmm... sloe gin...
I've made sloe gin for years, to the point where I now have to fulfil orders for about 20 bottles each year for family and friends. We've started experimenting a bit with it, adding a vanilla pod to the bottle produces fantastic results. Also tried putting a cinnamon stick in, but that was less successful.
I did made liquorice gin once too - that was very pleasant, but you have to ignore the thick black goo at the bottom of the bottle.
Raspberry schnapps is also a favourite, though greatly improved if you dry the raspberries in a cool oven to take out most of the water first.
