Colds, colds and more colds!


Here at Other we've been a bit unlucky in the health department with various peeps suffering from the dreaded lurgy. I myself have been suffering since Thursday when I felt all bunged up and muzzy headed.

I tried to relieve these symptoms on Friday by going to have a really hot, authentic Tooting curry. Although it was one of the best curries that I've had, unfortunately it didn't do anything for my cold.


So I have a few tips to keep the dreaded cold at bay. Although it is mostly common sense, you'd be surprised by how little we follow them.

  • Try not to touch your nose, mouth or eyes, cold viruses love warm, moist places.
  • Wash your hands often as viruses are spread through contact ie person to person, on door handles and other surfaces where people with colds have touched.
  • Stay happy, people who are often stressed have a weaker immune system therefore more succeptable to colds.
  • Keep out of contact from coldy people. And coldy people stay at home if you can. Or if you want you can take a leaf out of the Japanese method of cold prevention and wear a mask. However I think they wear masks to contain their cold, that's because they are so polite. I think they're quite fetching, don't you?
