Dude you need to add the following elements into your post curry cold elimination strategy:
Step 1 - To the 40% spirit of choice add honey and freshly squeezed lemon juice, warm it up a little bit. Drink at leisure while you prepare steps 2 & 3.
Step 2 - run the hottest bath you can physically stand to the point where it takes you 5 minutes to slowly lower yourself into the volcano. Bubbles, smellies, oils of choice. But keep one hand utterly dry.
Step 3 - Use that dry hand to smoke the rather strong spliff that like Blue Peter you prepared earlier. This will enable you to stay in that volcano of a bath for as long as is humanly possible.
Step 4 - Go to bed for as long as you can.
Honestly, if I've got a cold as opposed to proper flu those steps always make sure I don't lose a day's pay.
