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

Well.... things wouldn't I gues stick to them
Mind... kevlar panties..... I've met a few people who wore those

spoilsports!

Don't care Working over Christmas and New Year dressd like 'Jacob Marley's ghost' Bah! Humbug! I am staaying in a 4 hotel though

i will be staying with my ex and my mum

but also with my kids and two lovely daughter-in-laws

Aye! Arr!

Christmas be coming
me teflon pants be stuck
But I'm coughing an I'm sneezin
so I couldn't give a

It's in madrid as well, had an email from a friend said, "estoy enferma, catarro" translation to remain within the house rules "I am ill, flu"

I'm so tempted just to crawl back into bed for a few hours and desperatly hoping I@m well in the next week so I c can have soemthign* of a Christmas this year unlike last wehre I was for the duration
and I can't seem to buy boxes of tissues fast enough

grated ginger, whiskey, fresh lemon and real honey.

Mix with plenty of hot water and leave to steep for five minutes.

Relax and drink it. it'll help you sweat out the cold at least And is pleasant, too.

I worked almost every Christmas for some 30 years so I sympathise with nortirascal.
Mind you Xmas in Madrid? I could think of worse places to be.

On last night's local news: scientists in Cardiff uni. have discovered
that the most effective cold remedy is a hot cordial drink.
They didn't say which flavour but it looked like blackcurrant to me.

Madrid with Profesora I wish In my dreams Nah, Sutton, Surrey.

Coudl be worse... could be Hatfield... or, even Slough, or maybe, even, and the thought makes me feel ill, Great yarmouth
Cordial, and blackcurrent, I think I have that... I have* whisky but I'm ment to be not* opening it as its only got to last another eight or nine days then I can take it back with me and give to Dad as a present for Xmas though drinking it is* very* tempting
Don't have any honey or ginger though at the moment
Actually this year has been very bad for honey; the people behind my Fathers house who keep bees didn't make enough to sell it to friends and relatives this year due to the ... whatever it was called disease that affected bee heives
Actually why the eck havne't I got any ginger, I'm sure I bought another bit of fresh stem ginger

in my experience whisky is the best of all the remedies what don't w*rk on a cold

mmm, as pleasant symptom relievers go...

treat it and it's gone in a week

leave it be and it takes seven days

*rolls eyes*

dont treat the symtpoms, a week of hell.

treat the symtpoms, a week of a little less discomfort.



Nobody's claiming to cure the common cold here, come on!

Actually I do have a cure for the common cold, a good sharp bang on the head.
I think the medical term is coma.

I bet I'm the only person on this thread who has actually been in a coma.... for a month or so
I've had the cold more than a week or 7 days now though I think its slightly... dispersing
Unfortuantely or perhaps fortunately it does mean I've been eating practially nothing all this time which isn't really spicey

ooh, another upside to a common cold

So a sure fire cure would be a coma and a drip feed of curry?

congrats, you may just have stumbled upon a nobel prize by accident

don't forget the whisky, though
