what's the point?

So not really sure why I'm starting a blog, but Facebooks getting on my nerves and I'm looking for a forum where I can rant, post stuff for a more selected audience. Quite like the idea of letting other people post on here, so there may be a select few who get to add their opinions, depends how much of a control freak I want to be.

So as summer rolls in nicely, I'm lying in bed with the curtains closed listening to D&BTV, blogging and waiting for this cold to move on to the next victim.

So still no cure for the common cold?

Maybe because it's not serious enough the researchers look for bigger, deadlier fish to fry (AIDS, cancer, swine flu and the like). I used to take massive doses of Vitamin C when the first signs of a cold kicked in but not really sure that it helped.

One thing that does work though is a soup made from:


1 Potato
1 onion
small handful of grated ginger
teaspoon mustard
couple of cloves of garlic
salt and black pepper
litre boiling water

cook the above on a low heat for about 45 mins then drain it and just drink the liquid broth. guaranteed to help. Although I didn't do that this time either - go figure.
