What do use?

2 measures of Night Nurse with 2 measures of Vodka, repeat until you don't give a toss about your cold any more....

Sympathy? Sympathy? To be found in the military dictionary between $hit and syphilis and closer to squadron leader than sorry!

If you let the cold take it's course, it will clear up in about seven days. But with medication, it should clear up within a week.

And what do you do if your nose goes on strike?

Picket!

Muppet Leader

Emigrate to Oz.

Currently in the middle of summer, enjoying stable high pressure 30 plus days, the odd outdoor long lunch and magnificent beaches.

Only thing cold is the beer!

MSF, ya got it right mate. CS is the only thing that really works but it takes about 5 minutes of honking and snotting to get those sinuses sparkling clean.

Alternatively.....

A sachet of Beags' Hot Turbo GINGER Sinus Scourer

3 Soluble Aspirin

Juice of one lemon/lime and toss in the skin for effect

Crushed/grated ginger

Half a teaspoon of Tea Masala

3 Tbsp Honey

3 tots Buchu Brandy (You can use whisk(e)y at a pinch but it doesn't have the hallucinogenic properties of Buchu)

All this in a pint mug and top up with boiling water.

When the bedclothes stop telling you to stuff Aunt Agnes with treacle and roast her in the neighbours' lounge you should be feeling a bit better.

Take 1 large whiskey tumber
Half fill with Scotch, vodka, meths, after shave, bleach.
Top up with night nurse
dial 999
Go to bed

When you wake up a couple of days later in intensive care, your cold will be gone.
