  • A cold remedy.....Brummie style.

    Now this remedy is self-developed.... obviously there is alcohol involved, so anybody under the age of 18, please look away now!


    You need;

    Lemons....(stressco value are the best as they are rough...but full of vit c)
    Tea bags (would suggest tetleys strong, but yorkshire softy will do....)
    Booze ( must be dark. Rum, Brandy or Whiskey. No white spirits as it will spoil the broth....)
    Sugar (White, real)
    Paracetamol (please read the label)

    And the most important of all;!

    Honey (Honey is honey....ask the bees!)

    Now the prep work;

    You need to prepare your enviroment. If you have a partner that shares your bed, then inform them that they are in for a rough night. The spare room option may be a good ace-card to play.... You need a warm and cozy enviroment; duvet:check. pillows:check. t.v. remote:check. glass of water:check. BUT ALSO VENTILLATE...YOU NEED TO BREATH!)

    BOIL THE KETTLE!

    Take the lemon and slice it as thinly as you can, but keep the rind ON. Put it into a receptical that can take boiling water...( again, kids, be carefull or ask an adult to help you!) Put it into a jug or mug and add 3 tablespoons of honey. (honey is the vital ingreidient and is the oldest anti-biotic known to man...ask the Egyptians!)Pour over an inch of boiling water and let stand.
    Now the tea...
    Pour a mug of tea as normal, but let it stand for a little while longer. Please remember that adding milk will only curdle the remedy, so no milk! Basically builders tea, but just a little bit more...
    Once your tea is brewed, we are entering the final stages...
    The booze is a fundamental part of the remedy. By now, you have made provisions for partners/kids to be self-sufficient for the forseable future. Make sure the dogs and cats have food and water!...
    Pour the whole lot into a jug and add an equivalent measure of brown spirit. Add two spoons of sugar (glucose energy), fresh slices of lemon (fragerance) and heat gently to a level that you can physically endure.
    Take the mixture as quickly as is possible, THE HOTTER THE BETER AS THIS INCREASES YOUR INTERNAL BODY HEAT, adding more spirit if deemed necessary. Take refuge into one's safe enviroment and sleep....and perspire....


    BET YOU IT WORKS!

    Well, my old Dad, Gawd bless 'im, used to swear by a simpler version of this - which worked for him. He'd go to bed after a large glass of hot rum, which was downed as quickly as possible before the alcohol evaporated. He'd sweat it out overnight.

    Me - I find a 'hot toddy' works well for me. Basically Lemsip with whisky. I like to add some "Stressco" Lemon, Honey & Glycerine to this.

    What you seem to have there, Brummie, is the "ultimate" toddy !!! Sure looks good to me - and makes perfect sense. I WON'T bet with you - I'm sure it damned well DOES work !!!

    Cheers for that, guv'nor !!!

      It's a bit of a remedy my good old gran introduced me too when i was about 5 or 6. Of course the paracetamol was then replaced by junior aspro in those days...substances like that need to be treated with respect when minors are involved!

        I find a large brandy and peppermint every evening does the trick, if that fails and I do succumb to the cold/flu then its brandy, hot water and sugar before I go to bed, and bloody hell do you sweat it out.

        The cold/flu might not disappear completely but the hangover makes you forget about it for a while :grin:

          My ex made me a concoction which was honey, lemon whiskey and hot water, with Orange peel in it!! It tasted vile but bloody hell did it work!!

          another good, kill all or cure all is,


          pan big enough to hold a kettle of boilin water

          Mint,
          Sage
          rosemary,
          orange peel
          crush them up to release the "Aroma" warning your eyes will pour!! and throw in to a pan of boiling water, put a towel over your head and inhale the vapours.

          You can also do this by putting the offending articles in the foot of a ladys stocking (not may I add while she is wearing it) and tying the stocking round the hot tap of your bath. Pour hot water over it, and sit in the bath and hack your lungs up!!

          You will smell like a leg of lamb but, you'll feel amazing!

              I don't wish to be a killjoy, but is a mug full of rum/whisky/brandy combined with paracetamol a good idea?

                      waste of good booze!!

                      personally i think every politician should be thrown in the bin!

                      Oh and the best way to stop wars is to send in grannies! Then they will be showing everyone pictures of their grandkids, making the tea, and the enemies will be so busy dodging the sherry glasses they will forget what it was they were fighting for

                        This grannie won't, I never show piccies of the grandkids, admit to drinking lots of tea, and prefer a large Tia Maria with diet coke to sherry, but will partake if I must lol.

                        I always have a nice large brandy and peppermint every evening, purely for medicinal purposes of course :grin: keeps the colds and flu away.
