So argumentative so early in the morning - given your jaded 18th century view on the wonders of modern medicine, I can only assume you have not yet applied your daily leeches ?

Leeches are so 1562. Now if you'll excuse me, I must go get blistered ...

Given the Sultans reticence, maybe (for the diehards) we should add another alternative of a slap round the chops accompanied by "man up and stop blubbing you've got 3 more/5 more/another one**"?

Hot glass?

Nice cup of tea will take that right out.

I could recommend something for that too, but no doubt you'd prefer to pour scorn on my medical prowess, rather than the recommended potion on the aforementioned skin condition

Huge quantities of painkillers and a nice strong cup of tea is all I need

Hmm, I'll go along with that in the interests of world peace and all that, but I have to say, I'm not totally comfortable with it. I mean if Harolds serf had listened to him and given him a couple of sugars in his last mug of tea instead of slapping him about the head and telling him to "use the other one, sire", the whole course of world history would have changed...

Sorry, but I MUST have some kind of sweetener in my tea.

However, there needs to be a milk addendum that should ban half-and-half. creamer or any other kind of 'fake' milk! Lemon is NOT an acceptable alternative in any circumstance.
