Don't bother trying it to cure sickness - even though it's a bollocks placebo, it's only claim is to reduce nighttime coughing, not cure a cold :)

until then, leave wives tales for the wives


Bloody hell benny the cunt are you married??????

I use Vicks for various reasons such as;

I put it on my chest too.
I also have a vapour stick thingy you sniff on.
I also swallow some Vicks if I have a soar throat
And I stick it up both nostrils if I have a blocked nose.
I haven't found a use for it on my other opening as yet ......... but as soon as I do I will let you know, LOL.

My mate put some in a small piece of an old T shirt and tied it to a leather cord so he could hang it around his neck because he didn't like putting it on his chest, LOL

Don't want cures, just want to feel slightly better when I'm sick. Actually, that's a lie - a cure for the common cold would be awesome!

Are you typing your replies in Word first, and then pasting on the forum?

I think Jamo & Nathan, among others, should try that! :lol:
