Morning all
I should know by now, but does anyone have any ideas on how to shift a really annoying head cold, apart from paracetamol and Strepsils?

My wife, who drinks very seldom, enjoys having a head cold so that she can drink my Lemsip Toddy. A finger of whisky in a tumbler. Add a Lemsip Cold and Flu Lemon sachet. Add hot (not boiling) water. Stir in a spoonful of heather honey to sweeten to taste. No more than four in 24 hours!
It won’t cure your cold – nothing will – but you’ll feel a hell of a lot better.
Thanks for that. I will try, but without the whisky. Never touch it. I was at a Burns Supper a couple of weeks ago, where a whisky rep was doing a tasting. When I declined, he asked what I was doing at a Burns Supper. I should have said, ‘You be Tam O’Shanter, I’ll be Holy Willie, and we’ll see who feels best in the morning’. But I didn’t; to be truly great they must be spontaneous.
Well now, I don’t know whether the whisky is an essential ingredient. The Lemsip contains the paracetamol and the vapours help to clear the head so maybe the whisky is superfluous.
Maybe all the rest is as far as Mrs B’s concerned. Does she go to ‘cold parties’ with her mates to generate an excuse for her occasional indulgence?
Now there’s a thought, but no! She claims the whisky helps her to sleep, the Lemsip, honey and hot water do the business.
Night night.
Yes, try putting your head down the toilet…it might improve your literary output too.
You probably thought I’d spam that comment, Mr Flynn, email address patrick_flynn11@yahoo.ie, but I’ve approved it, and added your surname, just to ensure that you get the attention you seek. Now please fuck off and get a life.
