When you cough it up do you spit or swallow?[/QUOTE]




Sorry.

Old Indian cure is to chew a fingernail sized peice of raw ginger every morning and evening. Works a treat and i give it to the kids when cooking to keep the lurgies at bay.
It is strong so maybe a cup of tea about 5 mins after

.... And there was me thinking you were on your way to a Gurdwara !!

Did your quack work out you cycled from your hipster threads dude?

Green (Chinese) Tea with a few slivers of ginger and some honey works for me and wrap up warm.

I wonder if cough mixture would work as a cheap energy gel? It doesn't do much else.

I've just looked it up and Covonia contains:

1.36g Glycerol BP

Excipients: Each 5ml contains Syrup(sucrose) 2.436gm, Liquid Glucose 280.0mg

I'm glad it wasn't just me with the ginger then... can 1.2 billion Indians and me be wrong? (Well, it was MrsD actually, but never let facts etc..etc..)

Of course, it you were a member of Team Sky they'd just give you Tramadol, that way you'd still have the cough but you could spin up Ventoux like a diesel train and not feel a thing...(allegedly).

Like a Tram/Streetcar surely!!??

Seriously though, I had that when in hospital, and it was great stuff for pain!!

Three of us have got the cough still.... it does linger!

I have the cough too, doesn't make cycling much fun.

Around 8 days in with mine and thought I was on the mend yesterday so had a day out with the missus but last night had a really bad night with high temp, night sweats and headache.

Thankfully no work today owing to the BH so I think I'll just keep well hydrated and hibernate and rest all day and catch up with all the stuff in my Sky planner

Bloody typical the sun's out though!!
