blonde poker forum

I'm not feeling tippety top at the moment. I think I've got man flu, I might even have caught a belated bird flu or one of those new ones, panda flu or something. But either way, I've got a cough, sore throat, bunged up nose and an aching noggin. I also feel pretty whacked, no energy whatsoever.

Normally, I wouldn't be that bovved, I'd take some cough medicine or something and just ride it out, but this week is different. As you all know, tomorrow is the Grand Prix final, and due to updating many of the live events, this is in fact my biggest ever live comp.

I'm a little bit disappointed that it looks as though I'll be going into my biggest ever comp with these symptons, as I don't get too many opportunites to play for the big bucks and I really want to be on top of my game, not worrying about splurting my guts over the table. Therefore, I was wondering, on the off chance, if anyone knew of some old wives tales or secret remedies that could aid my current state within the 24 hour period before my afternoon kick-off.

Any pearls of wisdom would be much appreciated.

that will teach you for roaming around hampstead heath at silly hours of the night wearing next to nothing ..... And telling the cops that you were just looking for George Michael so you could get his autograph is a poor excuse !!

Take some Bob Martin's.

Rest and relaxation. Don't play online for a bit.

Anything that needs to be done, do it later. Time to chill and get better.

ooh, and drink a litre of Tropicana

Try asking tikay, he feels like that when he's well.

Drink a bottle of Malt whiskey, that will get rid of your cold ;sleep;

Bed, Ibroprofen and paracetamol (you can take them both together safely, profen stops inflamations and aching limbs whilst the paracetamol and profen together will numb your pains). Profen does not contain paracetamol. Don't do this too often however as prolonged use does have a temporary effect on the liver.

BTW I'm not a doctor. Like the packets say, seek medical advice. But I know that works for me. Along with chicken soup and bread cut into little quarters, and a nice warm duvet, plump cushion and a doseage of kids TV.

If you are feeling like this still tomorrow then I'd advice a heavy doseage of pro-plus alongside your doseage of Ibruprofen and Paracetamol. You will feel a rush for a few hours which will counter your flu effects. And avoid alcohol for the duration unless you want to go really dolally (actually its jolly good fun).

Drink plenty of water too.

He's got less than 24 hours til the tourney kicks off - not 24 days!!!  :D

No magic cure I'm afraid. What I usually do is have some Nightnurse or something else that makes you drowsy and sleep for like 20 hours. The body seems to be more efficient at recovering when you're asleep.

Hope you feel better for the tourney mate.

I like to take a combination of nightnurse, sudafed, paracetomol and nytol, but thats just a friday night out, I dont know what to suggest for a cold!

force yourself to spend a little time on the nest if you know what i mean. This is proven as it releases various chemicals that are very powerful into your system and gets a sweat on.

I pity the .....  actually, lets not go there.

Contac pills do the job for me, but you will need to win the Grand Prix to pay for the buggars!!!

All the more reason to do f*** all today.

Supping yourself up on pharaceutical remedies will only hide the symptoms, not prevent them.

They're for tomorrow, just take the man flu like a man today. (although I'll let you off with Nightnurse or summit, to ensure a good kip)

Lemsips work for me

on the nest??

 rotflmfao

administer a little beagle lovin

not to a beagle.

Oh, I see  ;ashamed;

I knew really.  ;whistle;

to myself or the mrs?

He has flu, not flew.

the mrs, stop being lazy.

Has no one heard that expression before? it must be a local thing.

They're all clean shaven in Hampstead anyhow, so the 'nest' term doesn't apply. I see what you mean though...

Make yourself some chicken soup, known in the trade as "Jewish penicillin".

It cures everything, I guarantee it.

Hes right. Hes always right. nearly.

Dose yourself up with Vitamin C/multi vitamins and echinacea tonight and tomorrow. Combine this with night nurse or an equivalent to help you sleep well. Drink plenty of water. Tomorrow take something like Day Nurse which does not have a ;goodluck;nything which will make you sleepy.

Its a shame you cant get Kev to play for you  :D

If you do take ibuprofen don't take it on an empty stomach because it is bad for you and can give you stomach ulcers.

He couldnt afford my rates mate .... my stock has shot up recently ;)

Ahem  ;boltpp;

go to bed now and rest. thats the key. the potions may or may not help with symptoms. they dont end to work for me so i avoid them.
take a hot toddy and crash!! or you could give the tourney a miss?

 ;surrender;  >:?  rotflmfao

No chance! Get well Snoops.

The seat is not tranferable or refundable he's gonna have to play.

thx for all the advice, I've purchased some DayNurse, hopefully that'll do the trick. I've also ordered a Night Nurse, but that something entirely different.

I tend to get better as the day goes on, so hopefully, if I see out the first few levels, I'll be okay. You  never know, I might have recovered by then, fingers crossed.

What nationality is your day nurse?

Snoops, whatever you do, don't take any of the pills that Tank's been on.

Have the hottest curry you can find tonight that will get rid of any cold symtomps however you might need to take your own loo roll with you tomorrow.

Top Avatar Brummieboy!!!!!

Chicken soup and plenty of it!

Hot toadie - thats whisky and hot boiling water from the kettle 4 or 5 halfs in a glass and then a few hours kip and you will be sound!

Woods Navy rum you will still have everything you have got but you will not feel a thing.   If anyblondes know where you can still buy it would be gratefull. ;slavedriver;

GFY

 ;kneelsucker;

Squeeze a whole lemon, add chopped ginger and 2 cloves of garlic.  Brew in  a hot water for 5 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons of Maluka Honey.  Drink the lot.  3 times a day.  This should sort you out. 

mmmm sounds good. you got any more remedies?

Plenty....

p.s. It should be 'MANUKA' not 'maluka'
sry for the misspelling

Snoopy.

You need some meat on your bones, eat well and sleep well.

So to stop the risk of O.D I'd advise Kapol and Bongela. (Sugar free)
until you build yourself up a bit.

Get some good Steak and Veg down you and some cooked Breakfasts.

You'll feel better in no time.

Regards

what about one that will take away my lethargy and brighten my mood? i dont want anything as strong as st johns wart though :)

Apart from obvious: no junk food/plenty of water/excercises/
No alcohol/drugs and so on...

tea made of fresh basil leaves -is helpful

cocaine and brandy for three days.

By the time you come down the flu's probably gone and you've dodged all the unwelcome symptoms.

I was only joking about the night nurse and all that shit, this is what any normal person would do.

Drink the top stuff (if you're after strong rum)!! http://www.thedrinkshop.com/products/nlpdetail.php?prodid=2745 (http://www.thedrinkshop.com/products/nlpdetail.php?prodid=2745)

Or that rotgut you requested http://www.thedrinkshop.com/products/nlpdetail.php?prodid=271 (http://www.thedrinkshop.com/products/nlpdetail.php?prodid=271)

Personally I'd recommend the Old Mateusalem (15 yo), the Angastoura 1919, or the 1824.

 ;iagree;

Lol - did Ginger like it?

Yes m8, cheers for the bottle.

1919 = some damn fine Rum!!   :)up I think I owe you several decent drinks next time we meet up for sending it on with Flushy.

About a week on and still feeling rough. I can confirm that ACE2M's 'nest' theory doesn't really work, although my sore throat seems to have calmed down.
