Quote: "Kenjar, what works for me is Alka Seltzer Cold Medicine. Drop a couple tablets in a little water, not alot... just enough to gulp the whole thing. If you put them in too much water, you'll have a hard time trying to down the whole thing. Like I say, just enough water to gulp the whole thing.
Then after you down it, go hop in bed with a warm blanket and sleep for a bit. You'll wake up feeling pretty damn good.
At least this works for me."
Cool, I'll see if tesco does any I'm due for a delivery tomorrow.

I've heard that one before now. Still, if you are going to be ill, you might as well be drunk and ill I expect. lol.

Me MAN, me do MAN things *sneeze's without a tissue, makes point of never putting the toilet seat down... or cleaning it*
Quote: "I can only assume that almost anything with vitamin C will help, though, i havent had a cold in a while. Don't you have a doctor?"
Naw, wouldn't bother the doctor for a cold. The flu on the other hand, that's more serious.
Quote: "What's the big deal? Never had a cold before or something?
Or follow this guy's advice
Quote: "man up to it like the rest of us do..."
I usually just wait mine out like most normal people. Eat right, exercise and you'll get a cold an average of only once every 1-2 years. "
No big deal, it's just damned inconviniant. I've come across some amusing cold cures over the years, just wondering if anyone's invented anymore
, I remember that TV add saying that people jump into freezing water to shock it out, or rub mustard on the chests, wrap seaweed around their necks, and stick a chilli under their nose. Being an advert, I take this with a pinch of salt, but it's still an entertaining thought.
P.S. I can't honestly remember the last cold I had, it was definately before I moved here and that must have been a good 4 or 5 years ago now. It's either that or I've had one or two, but they were so minor I didn't even notice.
Quote: "Have a cold then take Vitiman C powder three times a day (Beware of visting the loo on more than one occasion!) eat hot foods. and, if your game, eat a clove of garlic. At night in bed have three tissue under your pillow (Just in case!) and one on your pillow soaked lightly in vix or equivalent (I use Eucalyptus oil). You must have alot of sleep, 8 hours plus is desired anything below will only irritate the cold."
sounds like decent advice to me! If you don't mind though I'll substitute Vit C powder for oranges, my gran gave herself a stomache ulsa using that stuff. Mind you she did take it every day for about 30 years.

lol. I like a man who can think ahead! Perhaps I should try the electricution idea, then take him to court? lol. No, no, don't all cry YES! at once! *cocks an ear* What do you mean make sure it's lethal? lol.
Quote: "I just take DayQuil during the day and naturally NyQuil at night. If you don't like pills then at least just take the NyQuil so you can get some sleep and get over it sooner. Fixed me up in a couple of days, one at school another lying around."
Cool, thanks. I've never come across that stuff before. I'll update my shopping list.
10 reasons why I am the best, ummm, errrr, der, thingie, whatsit, dodawassit, whatsitsname, thingamebob, sqwigglything, and the ability to talk nonsense, while being sure I'm right.
