I've recently had a cold (getting better)...I don't know if this is the right thread to put this question in and I don't wish to 'gross' people out but can you tell me what exactly is the bogie stuff that is up your nose ?...is it related to phlegm and cattarh ?.....it is a strange thing  but I've always wondered exactly snot it is.....sorry WHAT it is []

Hi Neil

to get you started here are a couple of show references relating to the question "why is snot green" and "what are bogies"
