h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Rather unsurprisingly I have a little bit of a headache today, and my stomach feels a little unsettled. I think I might have caught a bug or something. I am certainly feeling a little under the weather.

There there.

*Feels Frizzychick's forehead*

You do feel a bit warm. Can you get some rest?

Ah, a second opinion. Good, I thought I should take some rest as well. Luckily I do not have to go to work or anything today, so perhaps I should just lie down in front of the TV with some tea and toast

Sounds perfect!

Feeling better?

yes thanks. Rather unsurprisingly, my 'illness' only lasted for a few hours of the morning. Perhaps I'd just had a dodgy pint the night before

Glad to hear it.

You suffered what we doctors call "beer flu".

The best remedy is lots of things beginning with the letter "T".

You were spot on.

Have you studied medicine?

Alternative healing

Any particular one?

Not quite sure what it's name is, but it revolves around the theory that most things can be cured (or symptoms relieved) by prolonged lounging around, eating rubbishy food, drinking tea and whinging. better results are achieved by long-term exposure to light rays emitted from a television set.

Most ailments can also be dealt with by some serious beer drinking - but this of course increases the risk of beer flu.

Ah, yes. Frizzyotherapy.

LOL! I don't think it will catch on as an accepted cure for... er.. anything really. But, hey, it works for me
