I have... da da da daaa... man flu.

This is the 3rd time I've been ill since the end of October, everyone seems to have had it.

Yesterday was the worse I've been in a while though, slept from 12.30am untill 3.30pm, still had to fight my way out my pit..!

Anyone else feeling rough or want to tell me to man up?

Loads at work have been off over the last cople of months. I've been fine except today I have the most fierce sore throat and feel like I've been 6 rounds with Tyson. Just in time for the big day and whilst I'm on hols….

Exactly how I feel mate! We'll live though eh!?

I caught it last Sunday, went Birmingham using the train and subjected myself to what public transport is best at……..handing out other peoples flu  :roll: .
It wasn't bad enough to have time off work, just kept having to warm up by the heaters and find something softer for blowing the hooter than standard issue toilet sandpaper  :mrgreen: , though some of the firms I deal with have been ravaged with people off with flu.

Wot don't kill ya makes ya stronger!

Let me guess, was the GF in there with you?

For a bit, then we went to have a second look at the flat.

Then I left her at home to suffer on her own (hangover related for her) while I did the Committee page.

Off out drinking now, that's a valid cure… right?!?!

 :dontknow:

wish i had time to be ill

Had it a about 2 weeks ago now the worst i have been in a long time.

I had it a week ago.  I had two pairs of jeans, a t-shirt, jumper, jacket and gloves on in bed and was still cold… my blood was so cold pumping round my body that it gave me shivers.. I was ill for about 3 days!!  Worst I've ever been and now the missus has it.  In work the aircon has circulated it and there were loads of people off at various times!!

you no that film with bruce wiullis where he never gets ill !!

well thats me that is im never poorly unless its alcohol related odd eh :dontknow:

I done my knee in playing footy two years ago and it's not been right since so that's out the window!!!  I'll sit here eating oranges instead then… they're a bit of a laxative though… one push too hard on a panty cough and you could be in a whole world of mess!!!

That's sour about yer knee. Though on the other hand, I've never heard "panty cough" before! Think I'm gonna be using that one for quite a while

Exercise is always the best cure for flu though. Preferably indoor 5-a-side footy, you'll sweat it all out in about 25 minutes  8)

yea man flu sucks. get a hot toddy in you. whisky, lemon, honey and tea. no milk tho ha.

I been sweating uncontrolably, I left the mrs at 2am last night at her house and came home cause it was too uncomfortable.

I feel a bit better today but can't stop coughing    

I think I'll be annoying a few people at the Might Boosh Live tonight  :twisted:  

try this cure,  stag chilli (dynamite)  2x cloves of garlic and a jacket potato.   makes you feel a whole lot better,  buy not good good for those around you.

Yeah I've heard the garlic thing. Heard of a bloke that swore by swallowing cloves whole when he had a cold.

Incidentally if you've got a sore throat put a teaspoon of cayenne pepper in a glass of warm water and gargle with it. I know I sound like a crank but it really does work if you do it every 40 minutes or so

(don't swallow it, obviously ) :wink:

I might try that.  I take it you'd damage your throat even more by having a "liquid bark" if you swallowed it!!
