I kind of combined Vipros and PorkyLips' recipes for hot toddies last night and in addition to still being here I got a full night's sleep for the first time in about a fortnight. Ayyyy.

Still had lots of lovely phlegm for breakfast with my coffee this morning but didn't feel so much like shit as I couldn't face my bike ride to work, and the ride really blew away the cobwebs. Fonzy-type Ayyyy :)

So, whilst I wouldn't call it a cure, things have certainly improved. Vipros and PorkyLips don't get a token for my arse in this case (probably much to their relief lol), but a cold beer is definitely in the bank for them when the opportunity presents itself. Thanks guys ;)

PS: Having another tonight - might well be medicinal but it's also quite nice

Since you combined the two
How about posting the ThatBloke version for future reference?

Okay...
...it was:

3 Tablespoons of runny honey
3 Tablespoons of lemon juice
4 Capfuls of half-decent scotch
1 Teaspoonful of grated/shredded fresh ginger
Contents of 3x Lemsip MAX capsules of your choosing
Add hot water and stir like a mofo. Let it cool down a bit and then down it about a quarter at a time.
Go to bed.

I suppose that you can substitute the lemon juice and the capsules with a Lemsip sachet as originally recommended, but my on-the-way-home Tesco was all out of the sachets and I had to improvise :)

Yes, ever had your liver fail from as little as 4 extra paracetamol over 24 hours?
about 100 people a year die of paracetamol overdose, and the instructions are ON THE FUCKING PACKET.
There are many more that become seriously ill just because they don't read the instuctions, stupid people.

I know about that, sure,
I'm just making a point for the sake of it.

Well said Mr Amazing Contributor!

You do know that lemsip contains paracetimol, don't you?
If you had 4 of those in 24 hours, you would (probably) go into mild liver failer, mild to the point where you won't notice it 'till its irreprible.

See...
...whilst that's advice along the same lines as spat at me by arsey-chops up there, the difference is that Gonz chose to be civil about it. Because of that I'll take the advice and limit it to 2 capsules' worth tonight. Cheers for the heads-up thar ;)

Pleased you're feeling better.
Age does have some advantages after all (more time to test cures for instance).

glad to have been able to help
for future reference something like JD works just as well as scotch

I don't really drink whisky and have JD in the house for cooking
