Thread: I miss lemsip

I'm a fan of Beechams flu strength with lemon. It does wonders for a rotten cold, but you can't get that here either. On the rare occasions that I do get a cold here, I go to the Pharmasist and she gives me three lots of pills. One is 'Tiffy', a big yellow tablet. Can't remember the name of the other two, but the Chemist will.

Warm some milk, drizzle some honey into the mug, add 1 shot of brandy into the mug, pour in milk, drink.
My Grandmas recipe, she didnt die with a sore throat so it must have some benefit.

By local I mean this area, all these new alco pops have ruined Pernod's legacy

I boil sliced galang root for a good 2 or 3 hours, then add that to 2 crushed 500 ml paracetamol, a spoonful of sugar, a big dollup of honey, 3 or 4 teaspoons of lime juice and the juice of sum yung gai (just kidding!). If it's at night I add a rather large nip of scotch.

I keep the galang 'tea' going as long as I'm feeling ill, just adding more water and roots to the pan. The more stewed it is the better.

send me your address Nooners and i will send you some Lemsip.

or if you send me the money for a flight ticket I will carry some into Chiang Mai. I just hope the bag doesnt break inside my stomach

post count whore.

when the wife first tried lemsip she hated it. Now she will always make the lemon juice/honey concoction.

Looks like there is a market for people unfortunate enough to live in england. Post lemsip to TD members that are not so well.

600 baht a sachet + p & p

The best thing for a cold is Pernod & blackcurrant cordial. Tastes just like Veno's Cough Mixture (remember that?) and makes you forget you're sick. Or not care that you're sick. Whatever!

Bloody hell NR!!!

Veno's!

Forgot all about that shit!

Read your post and the taste came back straight away !!

And they don't work as fast ( so I am told!)

Good tot of Irish whiskey wedge of lemon studded with cloves brown sugar and hot water. Two or three before going to bed will cure all.
