So the [Poll #1859555]

In other news, my cold is at the point where my head is filled with ALL the snot. Damn you, deviated septum of virus acquisition and snot holding!

The infallible Croatian cold-cure, given to me by a genuine Croat:

Take a bottle of slivovitz (my acquaintance used special slivovitz brewed only on this small island off the Dalmatian coast, that comes in clear, unlabelled bottles, but I feel that commercially-produced versions should be fine). Pour it into a saucepan with sugar to taste. Put the lid on the saucepan and boil the slivovitz. When it is boiling, lift the lid and inhale the resultant rocket fuel. Drink the slivovitz. This will clear your nasal passages (and possibly remove them altogether). You will also be very happy and sleep very well, unless you are allergic to alcohol, in which case you might die.

But I don't drink!

Or, more, I barely drink these days (not enough spare brain left after too many whacks with the taxi) … I think the fumes would be enough to send me over the limit!

I have to say, the laugh from your description of it all cleared out a moderate amount of snot from coughing!
