Sugar overdose?

Today I am down with a flu bug and am thus wrapped up in my tweed throw before the television, with hot tea. This afternoon, I have watched 'The Sound of Music' something I had actually thus far managed to avoid in my 42 years on the planet. Now I feel sick from all that Von Trappery sweetness and need some bitterness to counteract it. Would pictures of Gordon Brown smiling provide an antedote, or do you have other suggestions?
