Okay, right, I've been at home with a crappy cold for like five days now, and I'm getting frickin bored of it. Gutted to be missing both the Deal Real dubstep launch and Redstar tonight, but I'm determined to make it to FWD tomorrow night.

I saw Poax had posted some sleep easy thing, which looks good, but I need more suggestions for miracle cures. Currently I'm working on the basis of hot lemon and honey, lots of sleep, and paracetamol, but there's got to be some other, better way, right?

Off Topic Crew, I have 36 hours to get 100% better, your tips please...

Loads of vitamin C tablets should do the trick

oi oi honey and lemon.... missing the VITAL ingredient!!!

WISKEY matey... get them hot toddys on!

if no better by FWD then u can stick one of these on and your good to go!


drip nip lol

man, you gotta eat raw garlic. No substitute.

mate tell me about it, my persistent but untreatable ill health is the bane of my existance. so maybe im not the one to be giving out tips!

bare clementines/satsumas/oranges/fresh fruit juice (also excellent because all of the above are buff even when you feel buttters), supplemented by vitimin tablets and echinacea extract

as much sleep and rest as is possible

as few smoke and people filled clubs as possible

cos when you're ill, i think you're generally more vulnerable to other illnesses, so places where there are bare other people potentially carrying illness are a bad idea

if you just want to pretend you're not ill for a glorious 3 hours or so then paracetamol + codeine tablets are the bees knees, but dont drink too much with codeine! did so once while having wisdom teeth and i have never felt so horribly and uncontrollably fucked in all my life

All you need is a good hot Curry.Sweat it out.Always does the trick for me

Yeh agree with the curry - whenever i feel a cold coming on i will eat as hot as i can manage...plenty of fresh green chilli.

I normally suffer with a few colds throughout the year but i have been taking 1000mg of Vit C and 15mg of Zinc on a daily basis for the past couple months which has worked wonders. You can pick up these soluble tablets from most super markets that you just drop into water and bosh 'em down.

I have the immune system of a prenatal crackbaby.

Echinacea pushes things along.
Eat Vitamin C until you shit yourself.
Zinc Zinc Zinc Zinc Zinc Zinc lozenges.

Water

good luck to you

right.
ive been fucked since saturday night.

now, other then macflemchest, i am live and have just bun my first zut in 5 days.
everyone is chatting sense,although i would disagree with the whisky .... hear me out..
saucepan on low heat chop up 1 lemon into 8s 2 bigspoons of good honey ( i know you know good honey) (slice about arf gram of ginger in if your ardcore) poor in about mug of boilin water , then arf mug of brandy. heat gently(!)
drink.
lie down and smile.
then groan but try to keep smilin.
then eat as many halls blacks as you can face on the hour every hour.
get your missus to go blockbuster and buy you 6 films from the 3 for 15 range. And a jar of pickled chillies.
eat chillies and feel sorry for yourself.
order a phall curry and crush 2 codrydamol into said curry.
abandon all hope.
have the worst shit of your life.
repeat from beginning.

hope this helps ya.

it was actually one of the worst experiences of my life! i'd been nailing the codeine day in day out while i was in central america (in the jungle, miles from healthcare) with a massive mouth infection, then we got to the city and i got overexcited and drank too many beers in too quick succession without considering the drugs. it was amazing for a couple of hours, then i tipped over the edge. it was like that moment just before you throw up when you've drank too much, where your disorientation and discomfort peak, except suspended, and without any possibility of escape. butters

i do want to try doing syrup in more controlled circumstances though, im bare intrigued

that'll help you out a bit, eat or smoke though, it's so strong that i puke when trying to drink it like tea

i love you lot! - thanks so much for the remedies, i'm tryna fit em all in to a greater or lesser extent.

i've just made some pasta with six cloves of raw garlic in it, to be washed down by a smoothie composed of every fruit they had in du cane fruiterers this pm as well as bare raw ginger (melissa taught me that ginger is good for u lol), and tmw its curry with brandy and benilyn, fo sho.

how do you get codeine out of interest? what is it in?

as for white horehound, does this: "it acts as a gentle purgative" mean it makes you hurl presumably?

i am about to watch Trading Places - 80s style comfort movie right there!

get well soon poax!

you'll find it in any pharmacists...tablets sometimes called 'paracetamol plus', but often just sold expressly as codeine. also in co-codamol and various cough syrups (hence sizzurp). i sound like a codeine fiend. its the best non-prescription painkiller i know of by far though

such a live film, aykroyd + murphy = comedy gold

eat loads of weed or really good hash, if it doesn't work at least you'll be happy and the time off is the perfect excuse for inebriation. Don't even think about having a snout (cigarette) though. Honey and lemon thirded, big up Poaxes recipe!!!
and Make sure you eat your greens mofo!!!
