Over the last few weeks I have lost count of the number of pupils who’ve got in my car with some sort of lurgy (or cancelled because of more serious lurgies). So far, I haven’t succumbed – but it’s only a matter of time.<\/p>\n

In fact, I’ve been sneezing the last day or so, and I just feel like something<\/em> is coming – you know how it goes this time of year. What’s more,\u00a0over the weekend my tongue decided to cosy up with a couple of those mouth ulcers.<\/p>\n

\"Listerine\"While I was in Asda, I decided to buy some Listerine. After all, anything that is antibacterial can’t do any harm, can it?<\/p>\n

Now, I have never used Listerine before. I’ve used other mouthwashes, but I thought I’d get some of the stuff that makes out it is the Big Daddy of mouthwashes on all the TV ads. But it wasn’t that simple: standing in front of the Listerine (and other mouthwash) shelf is like being in an off-licence. You are spoilt for choice.<\/p>\n

I used my innate male expertise on these matters. The green one? No – that must be spearmint, and I hate<\/em> spearmint. The orange one? Well, that would be minty orange, wouldn’t it? That’s right<\/em> out. The blue one? Yes, that must be peppermint – I’ll take that one.<\/p>\n

My God, Listerine tastes bloody awful.<\/p>\n

I’m going to use it to creosote the shed. Or it’s going down the sink without going via me. I haven’t decided yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
