It's the amount of meds and supplements that's the problem at this stage I'd wager. Sit this one out with a few hot whiskeys, old skool

Highly doubtful. I dont know what the hells ye think im on but ii only take 1 iron+multivitamin and 1 cod-liver oil capsules a day.
And hot whiskeys don't prevent me from getting colds so easily in future. Nor is sitting it out as sick days aren't affordable right now. I really wish I could laze in bed for a few days!
Also my diet hasn't changed much the last 6months.
Would anyone recommend a course of anything or trying to boost me ability system any other way?

You're just getting old. Try some echinacea and manuka honey. The most important areas in terms of your immune system is in your stomach and bowel apparently so have a steak and some oily fish like makrel now and again.

While you're sick
Try the "Bittersweet John". It's manuka honey, hot Jameson and lemon. *

Or for a non alcoholic head melter try boiling up some ginger in then adding manuka honey and a vitamin C tablet.*

*Warning washingcattle is not a doctor any health benefits are totally coincidental. but they are delicious

Ah c'mon ernie, you're a walking medicine cabinet

Try a sun lamp, no joke.
I think most of Ireland has SAD.
I'd sleep for days if someone let me.... GIVE ME SOME SUN.
How many days until Primavera?

Daily exercise stopped me getting sick (col/flu) all the time

drink so much that your body cant sustain a virus.

That I didn't get to hear the rest of this conversation (or gain any context) on my walk home:

"But where are all this fookin' puppies gonna live like? Grand if you like puppies and shit but what if you're like... get this fookin' puppy away from me?"

We've finished the Christmas Quality Street. Unpopular opinion, I prefer them to Roses, of which there are still some supply.

 

[jonah]

Also, big issues with the skincare ad with Gerard Butler on it. Mostly because he's Gerard Butler and I hate him so much it makes my ovaries shrivel up. Also because I like the moisturiser he's selling, even though its for boys

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Roses have gone down hill and quality street have two different kinds of orange ones

 

[jonah]

My thoughts exactly. Plus, I'm nuts for toffee and they have tonnes of toffee options too.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

I'd go for a box of scots clan or the ones with the mini mars bars and snickers etc but I guess you have to have the quality street and roses at christmas

 

[ann post]

i got all the 2-4 euro smaller boxes in (insert food chain store name here) for all the girls in the house this xmas. lasted about 2 hours. much better option than the standards it think.

Just watched a thing about the recording of the Who's Quadrophenia album. I really like the who and loads of other "mod" bands, but mods are such wankers. Wearing suits and that shit haircut, fringe too short, sides too long. Cack.

Ah c'mon ernie, you're a walking medicine cabinet

As doctor cattle said-yr getting old.
Or maybe your working too hard and so not giving your body time to recover.

Were these a problem before? If so, you might want to ease up on wheat. With all the processed foods these days people generally eat more than their bodies can handle because it's injected into everything. It makes some people sluggish and causes all of the above ailments and then some. It weakens your immune system because your body is battling the wheat proteins it can't handle thus making it easier to catch stuff going around. If you have lots of beer, pasta, bread, pastry, dough/batter (even if healthy recipes) it could cause problems. If you try getting your carbs through more veg and fruit and less from grain it might help. Just a thought.

They are / were unrelated / mostly in the
Past. Either way I've already cut down a shitload on wheat and Gordon the veg into me!

The only evidence of me working too hard is my sore back which I need to sort out and actually strengthen my arms and shoulders too.
My wimpyness is too apparent!

But I'm positive my work isn't responsible for my repeating colds, sure it wasn't 11 months ago!

 

[hermie]

Perhaps it's all the riding you've been doing lately

"What do you get when you kiss a girl..."

 

[Jill Hives]

Yeah, that's how germs are spread.
