The Cape Town edition... Welcome to my ramblings, if you care to read on, you will sooon find that this is mostly an attempt to record the things I'd want to remember one day but probably wouldn't. This of course is due to my absolutely rubbish memory.

And how exactly do I ingest those?

I'm not sure if its just me, or if living in London makes you more prone to the common cold, but since I've been here, I've had at least 3 cases. I'm also not one to take medication, not that I'm die-hard or anything but I just don't like the idea of chemicals I know nothing about being dissolved in my body.

So yesterday I eventually got around to the pharmacy, vitamins I thought, that's the answer. Of course, as expected there was as many variations of multi vitamin's A through Z as there are DVD's in a Virgin megastore. I eventually, after much debate with the friendly pharmacist settled on something called 'Wintervit'. It claimed to have all the essential vitamins and what not that I needed to avoid future colds. After reading the little bit on the side though, I noticed that there was some kind of mushroom ingredient, also known as 'The Dancing Mushroom'. That sold me, all this stuff is nonsense anyways, but a company who is so open about selling nonsense in a bottle was going to get my hard earned £6.

I got home and after opening the bottle had a good mind to march back to the pharmacy and ask how exactly I am meant to take this?! These things are like mini torpedoes they're huge!

Are they flippin suppositories?!There'ss no way I'm taking them ifthat'ss the case, every time I think about that I conjure up images of Trainspotting and Ewan McGregor putting things where they should never be put.

Of course they weren't suppositories,they're just massive, but that must mean that they're jam-packed with vitamins right?
