I'm getting a cold. Bugger.

[CHAPPERS]

I've got that feeling in my throat that a cold is coming on today and one of my nostrils is blocked, a sure fire sign that i've got a coldcoming.
Anyone know of any decent 'nip it at the bud' things.
Gonna go to the gym in an attempt to sweat it out later but i think i'll need to do more.

f***ing hate colds, only really get them annually but they hang around for ages.



Thanks for pointing out my error BAG

"sweating out" at the gym has to be the biggest wives tale ever. You go to the gym it will be made 10x worse, as your body will have to recover from the exercise aswell as fight the disease.

Vindaloo or raw chilli, sort me out all the time, though you won't thank me in the morning though

 

[MRRF 10]

Now that is interesting. Gonna go anyway, getting a bit tubby, haven't been for a while, might just it in the steam room or summat.

Have a wank. Right now. Might not get shot of your cold but it will get you sent home where you can recover at your own leasurely pace.

Sorry misread the Title thought it said a Cold Burger. I prefer my Burgers to be piping hot with onion mayo and ketchup in a sesame seed bun. Lemsip does the trick, but then so does Brandy.

Echineacea and Garlic capsules usually nip mine in the bud. You can get them at Holland & Barrett, Sainsbury's etc.

Don't go to the gym - you need to give your body a chance to fight off the infection. For the same reason, give yourself a couple of nights off from alcohol and late nights in smokey pubs

Had to have a couple of Echineacea and Garlic this morning myself, as it goes, due to tell-tale sore throat. Did I snog you at the weekend?

I also misread the thread title initially, and thought chappers was into necrophelia

Onions figure in many cold cures from the early days in this country. A mixture of onions and butter was placed on the throat and chest. Cooked onions were put in a muslin bag and worn around the neck. To protect children, it was agreed that a large red onion should be tied around the bedpost.

That's not far off the mark!

Sorry Chappers.

God only knows if i snogged you or not.

I think the reason i've got a cold is that i haven't been to a smokey pub for a few days. Too many germs in the outside world me thinks.

Garlic Capsules it is.

save it for under the pier

I think it's the Echinecea that fights the infection best. The Garlic is to stop you catching something worse from soneone else?
