Spanish Bug
 
Is anyone else down with this current Spanish bug. My throat feels like I am swallowing razor blades, I ache all over and just generally feel even more listless than usual :(

250000 died in Britain alone, and over 7 million in India.

I read somewhere that more people died in 6 months from the flu that died in the whole of the first WW.

This is how you tell the difference between a bad cold and flu.

Drop a £20 note on the floor. If someone has a cold they will pick it up. If they really have flu, they won't.

Mitz, try gently gargling with a solution of soluble aspirin.

It doesn't work for all sore throats but the doc recommended it once when I had a doozy, and it really helped.

Nice big spoonfuls of honey will do the drink, if not lots of honey in lemon and lemonade, bring to the boil let it cool a little and then drink.:wub:

Well I didn't add that as I know Mitz is a TT:sneaky:


When making for my self I don't add spirit of any kind, believe it or not I am not a spirit drinker so I forgot that ingredient.

Wee dram be b*ggered.

A good belt with the juice and honey works much better I find, and I prefer Osbourne Brandy in it to whiskey :thumbup:

Plus Osbourne brandy is as cheap as chips.

Normally I don't like brandy, but that is pretty good.

It appears that there is something nasty going around. A friend of ours has been unwell since last weekend and yesterday his temperature shot up to 40 degrees. His wife had to take him to the clinic and after having various tests he was diagnosed with a "virus".
Hope this isn't what you have got Mitzy and that you are feeling better soon. ;)

Don't know whether it is Spanish bug, I haven't had anything in Spain, then I go back to UK and bam, I'm 3 days in bed. Headache, sneezing badly, then bad cough....Back again and it's gone. I don't seem to get bugs when I'm in Spain, its when I land in England, they attack me. :ohmy::cry_smile:
