[murraymints]

[jd_1984]

Tamiflu?

[Sqad]

Ah! Tamiflu.....no that wouldnt be a problem...EVERYBODY in the UK was diagnosed as swine flu last year and were given Tamiflu........very few probably had swine flu in actual fact.

Now go to bed and do what I have told you......;-)

This is an old cure which came from my irish gran, which we always have in hand. Take 1 bottle of whiskey, 2-3 lemons and 2-3 cloves. wash and slice the lemons place in a jar you can seal, I use a Kilner Jar, add the cloves pour in the whiskey and seal and put to one side for 10-12 weeks shaking occassionally. Filter through a muslin cloth bottle and store till needed.When you've a cold that requires treating pour a good slug of the whiskey add an equal amount of boiling water and stir in a tea spoon of honey.Can't guarentee it will cure you but it tastes nice and will certainly make you feel better
