Calpol

(This is not a sponsored post or review)
A-MAY-ZING.
Seriously, properly, absolutely and completely well good.
Yesterday The Poop was a lethargic, vomit stained, tender skinned little mite, piping out poos the consistency of gravy, which absolutely did not smell like gravy. Today? A vision of shining, sparkling, smiling loveliness who has slept like a, well, dream, and has since shelled out some encouragingly sturdy stools. 
Truly astounding.
What the Hell is in there?

Surely this stuff is in the running as a possible cure for cancer? Why don't government guidelines insist we all take it everyday? I swear to God, given half a chance, Calpol could end the recession, stop global warming and see an end to Dermot O'Leary appearing on telly. It might even clean my car out. 

Is it witchcraft? Magic? Sleight of hand? 
I did a bit of digging. Whispered in a few ears. Had a rifle round the archives of time. And after throwing thought, logic, reasoning and sense out of the window, I am now utterly convinced. Calpol was most certainly sponsored Jesus. How else do you explain all those miracles? 
Cured a leper? Defo Calpol at large. 
Water into wine? Calpol on the go again.
Walked on water? That's just the old 'Calpol on the soles of the feet' trick. Even Derren Brown wheels out that old chestnut.

His resurrection needn't have taken three days if only he'd had a taste of his own medicine. 

So. 
Since this isn't a sponsored post, or a paid review of any kind, I think that after such genuine praise of the highest biblical order, I should now more than qualify for a lifetime supply of this mind blowingly marvellous linctus. And in case those guys over at McNeil Products needed further proof of my eligibility as an ambassador for their terrifically impressive product - 

"Not only can Calpol perform actual real life miracles, it also smells AND tastes nice, which in itself is ANOTHER REAL LIFE MIRACLE."

That should more than do it.
Email me for postal address. Cheers.

  1. It truly is the stuff of legends. Swear by it. My 10 month old literally sucks the stuff out if the syringe (best way to get it down their throats) and looks rather miffed when there is no more! Glad the Poop is feeling better.

    1. I'm thinking of turning it into ice lollies in the freezer. A Calpol strawberry treat on a hot day would really hit the spot.
      She's much better - thank you for saying hello x x

  2. If Calpol is Jesus, Junior Nurophen is his Daddy, the man himself! My two had terrible nightmares when they had a fever and would wake hysterical in the middle of the night. Standing at the open back door with a cold flannel on their head and giving them a squirt of junior nurophen was the only way to calm them and bring their temperature down. (F.Y.I. The law states "illness, with or without fever in children may only commence between the hours of 10 pm and 6 am and only when everyone is sound asleep"). Glad she is all better, hope to see you this week x x x
