And i need some sinus relief for bed, else i will sleeping upright

I can't do anything with pseudoephedrine in due to very bad allergy to it, nor can I use the other one with a similar name as I have a slightly less bad allergy. It's pants because it takes ages to get relief, but I find menthol chewing gum (such as airwaves) about as good as I can tolerate.

Where did you go? open space? country park? or shopping?

The shopping area. Though it was interesting driving through as there were a few places I'd heard of that I didn't have time to visit that I thought "aha, that's where that is" so now I can make a mental note to go back.

Very depressing. I just want to pick some of those kids and transport them away from their estates.

I just don't know what the answer is for places like that, that have slid so far below societal norms. I did want to give some of the parents a kick up the bum though.

So you weren't that near to me, I'm guessing. My immediate shopping area could never be described as lovely.

Sad people, on sad estates, clueless.

If we were commenting on the homes the general fashion seems to be for motor bikes in the kitchen.

If we are commenting on home decor then there was a tendency to buy cigarettes rather than wallpaper or paint.

No, milk chocolate is best, think its to do with fat content or something.

It's probably the sugar as the fat just melts. The chocolate itself will make you feel better too as it increases seratonin (the same thing your brain redistributes when you orgasm).

Most cough syrup is just sugar syrup with a flavoring to make it taste of medicine AIUI.

I thought the strangest thing was that everyone was at home all day, but many did little or no housework, or tended their gardens. It was just bleugh. Though you are right about motorbikes in the kitchen, that was very odd.

it literally coats the throat, soothing it, not for long, but for enough to remind you how it can feel. Thats why i think its the fat cotent being just right. White choco.ate actually makes me a bit raspy, and dark chocolate melts cleaner in the mouth, so i think milk melts at the right consistancy to coat the throat.

Just try it, huh? .

May be it was some sort of post-modern decorating statement - the irony of a society where we use farm land to grow bio-fuels whilst people starve as illstrated by displaying parts of a motorbike in a room normally used for the preparation of food?

Now I understand. Interesting shops there. I'm in E. We have no shops but lots of open spaces (as in un-developed park land)
