Turbofan, thanks for the reply, however I stand by my assertion that your post is dangerous and irresponsible. You clearly added the comment about "Spraytish" to justify the post. Your other comment that you can function perfectly normally after ingesting such a hair-raising combination of drugs is incredible. It is an EXTREMELY DANGEROUS attitude comparable only with that of the "I'm alright I've only had one drink and anyway it improves my driving" school of thought. Tell that to my friends' son who has seen the loss of his friend's mother, two friends and the serious injury of a girl friend, thanks to drunken drivers. All within the last year.
Pole Star, thank you for your support. I too am concerned that someone is piloting an aircraft with that combination of drugs on board. I am not surprised he was not tired. I am only relieved that I am not having to fly out of Perth on a 747 these days, the thought of travelling on an aircraft with a pilot who has taken any form of self-administered, non-prescribed combination of drugs, frightens me. Does anyone in Oz know if this combination is acceptable to your authorities?
I haven't ben able to reply before now as I have had problems with the computer and difficulty getting to it with this knee injury.
Pole Star, would you be kind enough to email me? I can't email you - there's no address.
On a lighter note, steam is always good and a gadget can be bought which looks like a toddler's cup with a face mask fitted. It stops the whole of your face getting hot and eucalyptus oil or menthol crystals can be added to the hot water. The cheapest way, however, is to get an old tea towel (the towelling ones are best), soak it in water, wring it out and the iron it on the hottest possible setting. A WORD OF CAUTION HERE. Gentlemen, please check with the lady of the house BEFORE using what you feel is an old tea towel or you may find that the bunged-up sinuses are the least of your problems.
