When people ask me how I feel, i'm just gonna let Tori Amos do it for me. Its much easier.

I am sure you will have similar over there!

It's a cold/flu remedy - it's a powdered concoction of paracetamol, aspirin, decongestant, and lemon flavouring that comes in sachets of a single dose. Empty in a mug and pour over hot water.

I think it's disgusting - would much prefer a mug of hot fresh lemon and lovely honey, will a liberal helping of whiskey! Does the job much better!

Me too! So I put my own honey and a bit of extra lemon in the lemon flavoured ones, with some sugar so it's tooth-rottingly sweet but I get the painkilling and decongestant effects too.

Do you have Nyquil over there? I always have a bottle on hand, just in case I feel sickness coming on. We probably have something similar to the powdered stuff....I was just raised on Nyquil, and I'm a creature of habit.

Now on the lemon/honey/whiskey mixture....I think you know my position on a combo like that!


And BTW, Viv, I laugh aloud, every time I see your sig pic!!!

While screencapping the "Songs From The Small Machine" DVD, I just recalled one of my pet peeves. I cannot.bloody.stand.it when performers point to the audience to emphasize a point in their song. Don't do it. You're not in some cheesy pop girl band. Stop eeeeet!

Oh absolutely. I'll be doing that tonight but it isn't the most practical remedy at work!

I let Adam Duritz do it for me.

(I started to write Adam Duritz does it for me but then stopped... childish humour and all that. Plus Homer would immediately jump on it! )

Sounds like a good improvement!

That sounds like it could be similar to our Nightnurse and Daynurse remedies!

Oh yesiree - if you have a couple of those lemon/honey/whiskeys at bedtime, you might sweat all night but you'll be feeling no pain!!!!

Oh, I'm still sniggering away at my sig - I stole it from the Dress Up Doll thread and then Bee jigged it around for me to get it to fit. If I'm feeling low I just look at it and next second I'm in hysterics!

No, but makes the day go by in a lovely haze - but you can't drive home!

Well I have to say that it's probably been 3 years since I've had to take that particular cure!!!

I actually think whiskey is disgusting - except as that good old flu remedy!
