Just my luck..... Help needed for tonight??
Discussion
Had a slight sore throat yestarday, so plied myself with vitamins and orange juice in hope that it would die down and I would have caught it in time.
Wake up this morning with the mother of all sore throats, any ideas on how to quell the pain enough to enjoy tonight??
I would go for the easy option of taking it easy and not bothering with tonight (the sensible option), but Im hosting a party and some of my friends have travelled quite a distance.
Presume alcohol will help, but since Im hosting its kind of bad form when the host falls over drunk first.
Any ideas??
Cheers in advance for all suggestions (I hope Im not the only person in work today)

Whats your excuse for working today??
Mine was I agreed to support the project Im working on because some of the testers and analysts decided to turn up, I didn't realise they weren't actually going to do much and now Im completely bored.
Never again!!
similar stuff, project going live in march (deadlines cant be changed) and a section of it isnt built yet (overtime for me)and the rest is slowly making its way through system test and when I say slowly we are talking painfully slowly!!
I can see egg on face for some people, oh and this has been in the pipeline for 2 years now and on a shelf for at least 12 months of them 2 years.
Thank god Im not supporting it through the live transition.
I can see me working every weekend from now till its in an acceptable state....... oh joy

OK, get back out to the Chemist and buy some Vocal Zone Lozenges and plenty of Pineapple Juice. The Lozenges taste awful but a lot of singers use them before performing if their throat is iffy. The juice will lubricate the throat well. Then this evening, the odd dark rum and Blackcurrant will soothe pain as well.
Take this along with Beachams flu plus caplets and the hottest chilli you can eat at lunchtime followed by some more sleep and you'll be fine. Works for me!

Merocaine is the answer. You have to ask for it in the chemist, but the power of the stuff blows Strepsils and the like into the weeds.
my ex was a pharmacist and always recommended these. Also a good tip is to get a bottle of full sugar ribena and drink gallons of hot ribena's. Soothes the throat, adds vitamin C and helps you pee out the virus quicker (recommended by my Doctor and never fails).
