LeeCovFox Posted 13 May 2008 Posted 13 May 2008 Last night, I was in agony with a sore throat and earache. Couldn't sleep, and was feeling depressed at the thought of a summer cold ruining my chance to go to a mates BBQ on Thursday (before I was told its going to piss it down). At 6am, when the newsagent opened, I was straight down, bought 4 packets of soothers and 2 packets of Nurofen. I ignored the instructions on how many to take (2 every 4 hours). I took 6. It knocked me out for most of the day, and when I woke up, no pain! The BBQ may be back on. If I don't feel better, I will just O.D. again. So, Nurofen, thank you! You have reopened the path to a drunken Thursday!
The People's Hero Posted 14 May 2008 Posted 14 May 2008 Well that's not really a wise thing to do - you're right about the power of these things. I just get standard ibuprofen as it's all the same stuff, but a few of the extra strength version of those and you're sorted. Don't know why people bother with any other painkillers.

The People's Hero Posted 14 May 2008 Posted 14 May 2008 Anadin Extra. They are just addictive. But once your body gets used to them, they mke you feel great all day I have tried them and they are very good, but you can get a packet of a decent dose of ibuprofen for much, much cheaper.
Bellend Sebastian Posted 14 May 2008 Posted 14 May 2008 Wilko's Ibuprofen are 32p for 16. You even get a choice of round pills or caplets. Good old Wilko. I presume that anti-inflammatories (which is what I believe Ibuprofen is) are a bit less dangerous than paracetamol type painkillers, as there doesn't appear to be any restriction on how many you can buy in one go. My chemist sold me a jar of 100 tablets not long ago
The People's Hero Posted 14 May 2008 Posted 14 May 2008 Exactly. Nurofen is just a brand named Ibuprofen.
Tabou Posted 14 May 2008 Posted 14 May 2008 I have tried them and they are very good, but you can get a packet of a decent dose of ibuprofen for much, much cheaper. You need some Diclafenac. Morphine-based pain killer. Only available on perscription, but I have a supply that I no longer need if anyone would like to try (Masterfox...)
Phube Posted 14 May 2008 Posted 14 May 2008 Invented by Boots by putting mice on a hot plate!! Ibuprofen... we salute you!!!

Manwell Pablo Posted 14 May 2008 Posted 14 May 2008 Rubbish painkillers.Co-codamol is where it's at. That stuff is awesome.
Master Fox Posted 14 May 2008 Posted 14 May 2008 That stuff is awesome. I'm selling 12 pills for a fiver. Interested?
Ric Flair Posted 14 May 2008 Posted 14 May 2008 Co-codamol's a rubbish. Solpadols are where's it's at. 2 of those on an empty stomach and you're in for 3 hours of madness and numbness. Frightening.

Guest Posted 14 May 2008 Posted 14 May 2008 Anadin Extra. They are just addictive. But once your body gets used to them, they mke you feel great all day My body was not great after one tiny Anadin tablet. If I'd taken two, I could have died. Rubbish painkillers.Co-codamol is where it's at. The hospital strength stuff is the business.
stez Posted 14 May 2008 Posted 14 May 2008 i couldn't have made it though this last week without a steady stream of paracetamol, ibuprofen and lemsip. never again will i claim a cold is the flu. i think you can take para's and ibu at the same time for that extra pain killing kick. well i do anyway!
James. Posted 14 May 2008 Posted 14 May 2008 Why do people bother with Lemsip? Buy a few lemons and a jar of honey. Boil the kettle, neck 2 6 paracetamol and enjoy a hot lemon and honey drink... much better for you. And yeah as someone already mentioned get a vindaloo down you, they actually do help.
Master Fox Posted 14 May 2008 Posted 14 May 2008 Air & Gas. I want to get pregnant just so I can go and thieve some of that stuff. That's the good sh*t
