What's your best cold / flu remedy?

@X-Ray

BTW, I'd just like to say thanks for "lung oysters". That's been added to the old term collection :-D

@ Karlos

I will pass your appreciation to the female radiographer who taught me that one. The X-ray girls have plied me with many a nefarious wink and a facetious remark and their capacity for high jinks is legendary. They are altogether a curious bunch. I owe them credit for sneeble-greeber and lung-oyster (and many unrepeatable terms too)  :-)

Mix one part fine Jamaican rum, one part sweet Cognac, and three parts of tea. Warm it up and drink it, and then go to bed.
I'm not sure it goes weel with Ramadan, tho'. :-)

I wanted to say hot citron lemonade with a bit fresh citron juice, a good amount of sweet cognac or 'beerenburger' (the latter gives a fresher taste) a bit cinnamon and a bit brown sugar...
but Karlos stated 'no booze' :-/

Well folks, I am bouncing right back today. I seem to have produced a hell of a harvest of the old lung oysters though. I get a fresh batch break free with every hearty laugh I get here :-)

Cheers :-)

My friends wife introduced me to a mix of hot milk,honey and homemade slivovice. It doesn't make your cold any better, but you don't give a damn about it. :-)

Glad to see you're feeling better Karlos.. hope it wasn't as bad as my last cold, when I coughed so hard I burst blood vessels in the whites of my eyes and they went completely blood red..got called Satan down the pub for ages after that :evilgrin:

Milk is bad for a sore throat, and slime and so.

So you couldn't intimidate the bar staff with the "your soul or a free pint" line?

Nope, they're all Windows users around these parts, so their souls aren't up for a trade :evil:

That's what I get for using iLife stuff on the mac at work. Never saw they added iSneeze and virus sharing. You better get their reccomended digital lozenge, "iTunes"....

FFS , have you no shame Karlos ?

[Karlos]

Evidently not :lol:

Get well soon though. Seems theres some good advice on this thread.

It was my first day back at work today (after 1 1/2 days sick). I should have stayed off today too :lol:

I guess that means I owe the new gripe jar at work another 10p :lol:
