That's weird, because since I stopped taking echinacia every day (last eighteen months, laziness more than deliberate) I've had more colds and bugs than I can ever remember :-S

Echinacia won't stop you getting colds....staying away from people that already have colds will though (as that's how you catch them). Like anything...if you eat well and sleep well you have more chance of fending off or recovering quickly from colds than if you are run down or already ill. Fortunately I haven't caught any of the lurgys doing the rounds at the moment but I'm sure my time will come.....

I have snot. My boyfriend is just recovering from snot. My children have more snot than I would previously have believed possible.


Snotville is about right for round here, so it's not just you.


Oh, and this is our third round of snot in quick succession.


Motherhood. It's ALL glamour.

LOVELY!


My boy has what I refer to as permanent rubber bands up his nose. Each time he exhales two globs of green snot appear half way down his upper lip, and as he inhales, they disappear back up his hooter. I'm spending the day trying to perfect my timing so I can squeeze and wipe as he exhales......damn! Just missed an excellent chance while typing......

Legalbeagle, when I was a kid they (what your kids have on their lip/up their hooter) had a name, they are called Slimey Droopers.

We used to lean forward with noses over the ground and blow them out and in and see who could get the best Slimey Drooper.

Best Slimey Drooper is recognised by the loudest, "UUuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrghhhh !!".

There was a study earlier this year about those who spent 30 minutes a day exercising were less likely to get 'snot' and if they did, their average 'snotty' time was 2 days rather than 9.


There is a school of thought that if you have a cold in the head, it can be worth doing some gentle exercise it to raise the body's temperature and help fight it off. Once it's in the chest, no exercise. It does seem to work for me - I've had two warning sore throats that a good spin session has seen off unlike the rest of the office who ended up with nasty long lurgy.

From The News of the Weird: 'Researchers at the University of Queensland revealed in November that parrot fish, which reside on Australia's reefs and need protection from blood-sucking, lice-like parasites, shelter themselves at bedtime with blankets of "snot." Typically, the fish's mouth-slobber, once it starts dribbling out, takes about an hour to ooze into place. [Wired.com, 11-18-10]'


Snot races anyone?

    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm    
    • If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
    • We found a recommendation for Geek Electrics on a here after we wanted to have a electrical inspection of a property we are buying. From the very beginning through to the end Bob was responsive, helpful and demonstrated his knowledge. He has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. We will defiantly be using Bob again and would thoroughly recommend him! His details are... www.geekelectrics.co.uk 07453 407 226 [email protected]
    • I want to try that and also the granary loaf. Used to get a good granary loaf from the bakery that was in Herne Hill a long time ago.  Think they are somewhere In the vicinity of Coulsdon now. They used to make the hamburger buns for the Meatwagon/Meatliquor people.
