Reasons to be cheerful!

[Velma]

De Asbo is dot cheery. De Asbo's dose, which He doesd't habe, by de bay, is all stuffy add biserable. Is teddible, He tedds you! 

There, there. We will find someone to fix you a hot toddy and tuck you in bed.

The nearest person would be G85!

Geographically, I think people from England may well be closer, as geodesics fly. Norway is a long country.


Now, there was talk of whiskey with lemon being good for sickly Asmos, yes?

Not into the S&M scene then, huh Tank?

That discussion resulted in the implosion of the Richard Dawkins Forum! And no, I'll not say anything more on the subject

I haven't thought of my pain scale yet, but the appendicitis I had when I was 5 would definitely be up there.

How reliable is that memory?

I avoid pain because I don't like it, I've never broken a bone.
Migraines aren't much fun, I haven't had one for ages though.

Well, any time I'm not is pain is reason enough to be cheerful.  Which is most of the time, so that's another reason...

Parts of it are unreliable, I was only 5, after all...

For instance, I distinctly remember staying in the hospital for a month after feeling intense pain in my right side. When I got home I told everyone that I had been hospitalised for that long. Turns out I was only there for 2 nights.

Closest medical science has come to a true Panacea, as far as I'm concerned.

I would recommend for the Asmo: into half a cup of just boiled water add the juice of half a lemon, a teaspoon of honey and a nip of rum.  Stir well and sip.  Soothes the throat, clears the nose and makes you feel much better!

Bluenose recipe is faulty.  He says a nip of rum.  Perhaps Strine has a different meaning for the word nip.  In my mind a nip is only a wee bit.  And why dilute perfectly good booze with water?  Such a medicinal should have at least 100 ml of good quality rum.

In the case of medication I wouldn't waste good quality rum. Any old shit will do in these circumstances!

Sometimes I wonder
What all these chemicals
Are doin' to my brain
Doesn't worry me enough
To stop me from doin' it agai-ai-ain
Wipin' out brain cells
By the millions but I don't care
It doesn't worry me
Even though I ain't got a lot to spare-are-are
Woh-hoh-oh, the nips are gettin' bigger

A nip is a standard 30 ml shot of spirit.  I can't help it if you Pommies don't even know your own language!   

Oh, and Tank is quite right.  I wouldn't use good drinking rum, any available cheap rum will do, after all you're going to add honey and lemon.  Over here I'd go for Bundaberg rum, which I normally have on hand for cooking purposes, but is also OK mixed with Coke, which I would never do with one of my favourite rums.  Think of it as the Johnny Walker Red Label of rums..
