Sudafed, the little red ones not the dual action ones, are really good at drying you up if you have a runny nose. Problem is they dry up all mucus membranes so if you want to play you need some KY.

Dissolvable asprin, boiling water, honey, lemon juice and whiskey.
this will cure you:
1 tablespoon honey in large whisky glass
half a slice of lemon with ten-twelve cloves stuck in it
Now 3/4 fill glass with hot water
Now add Jamiesons whisky until very very near to top
Drink
Drink some more
Keep going
Now prepare another and watch a broken leg heal!!!!
Whiskey and lemonade, warmed up together in the microwave.
As well as burning some eculaptus oil
If you have any raw ginger, slice it finely, chuck it in a pan, with powdered ginger, powdered cinammon, a couple of peppercorns, and some lemon (either whole and scored, or bottled juice). Boil it in a cup or two of water for 30 minutes or more.
Seive it and pour into cup with as much cider vinegar as you can stomach (a tbsp or two) , and stir some honey in. If it's too strong, add some hot water, or if it's too vile, mix it with some other tea, herbal preferably.
Add whiskey if you want. The raw ginger acts as an antiseptic, and the powdered works like a expectorant. The cider vinegar has many magical qualities.
If it doesn't kill the cold, it will reduce the amount of time you have it.
chop up fresh ginger and mix that in with your honey and lemon.
really does the trick - I know, i've just had one

So I need to sweat it out????? Anyone fancy a shag??
:shock: :shock: :shock:

Only got Highland Park - would it be a waste??

There is nothing more effective than Paracetamol for a cold... You can try all these other things and they may work for you, but Paracetamol is the best relief for colds.
Also a good coating of vics vapour rub.........mainly because it smells lovely!
Hope you are better soon. x
