Stop talking?

Oter tan that start on the lemsip, take extra vit C :)

Either build your presentation around the very fact you have no voice today, in a humorous yet stoic way, or acquire a Steven Hawking style voice simulator. Must be downloadable somewhere ;) Good luck and let us know how you get on!

Gargle with warm water and TCP - deffo best thing for a bad throat

Brandy, lots of beechams (better than lemsip :-)), milk and honey

mustard... if you can stand the nippyness take a level teaspoon full.. also good for sore throats...

another thing to keep colds at bay is echinacea drops.. 15 drops in a 1/4 glass of water every morning (bottle says 2-3 times a day, just the once a day has done me) then after 3 months give it a rest for 2 weeks... the stuff really works...

isn't there supposed to be some cure in chewing garlic cloves? I've heard it works somewhere, doesn't sound my cup of tea though!
