Man-Flu is upon us (for Gentlemen only)

My tubes are still blocked. Will this mysery never end? If it goes on for much longer I fear I may have to take up my Grand-Father's service revolver and do the decent thing.

I even took time to post a response, clicked post message and nowhere to be seen. My tips will be lost forever.

Back on topic, I went through a recent bout of MF. There must have been a chill in the pub I was in the night before. Woke up, unable to leave my bed. Managed to phone and leave a message that I would not be in (before 9am, of course. Was to weak to speak to the Boss).

Had to stay in bed, barely able to keep my eyes open through This Morning, followed by Loose Women. Started to feel better around 5pm, staggered to the offie for a bottle of wine, back to bed for Strictly Take Two. Ok, maybe a bit girly for ManFlu. Unfortunately, found myself in remission in the morning. Obviously, I put too much stress on my feeble bones. This lasted all week.

SMUG ALERT

I am a man. I have not had flu for years. I get a jab every year and wash my hands with Howard Hughes-like regularity. I haven't had more than a one-day cold for yonks. Get the jab and scrub up. You'll have much more of a chance of not getting the lurgy.

Either Nero isn't a real man or dare I say it he is one of those metro-sexual fellows ... my word can't have that now can we gentlemen - not getting man-flu, letting the side down and all that, tis an age old tradition older then Dear ol' Santa himself ...

therefore I propose one simple solution to people like Nero...

...BURN THE FREAK !!! (or is that for witchcraft, which he seems to be practicing with this here 'jab')

I have a spare shot gun (as one does these days) if you'd like to borrow it...

[Michael Palaeologus]

Perhaps Nero is not real chap? We only have his/her word for it. Claims of "not having Man-flu" are deeply suspect but the focus on hygiene is a clear signal of the feminine.

I may have to go back to bed, such is my suffering.

*cough cough* ladyflu chest infection *wheeze* *cough cough* going to get flu jab tomorrow...

luvpeckham - bravo btw your post had me in stitches in between blowing my nose and feeling like I was about to cough up my stomach.. I have thought about what you said and whilst it can be taken as a given I is no ladyboi I do happen to like the ladies so maybe Im getting some honorary bout of manflu!?!

[Michael Palaeologus]

Saphic Flu? That's a new one on me, but this is London and all things are possible.

Strawbs, clearly in your fever you did not mean to say that you "like the ladies". Surely you "like the lady"?

[Strawbs]

He he *cough cough* yes quite right MP - phew nice save there, I luurrrvvveeee that particular lady!! ;-)

[LuvPeckham]

Well, one thing to say about Man-Flu, is that even with it, Diet Coke still tastes like sh!t

I guess I must still be delerious to try that stuff again as it is really only brewed for the ladies to sup as they can't do alcohol without getting all light headed, feisty, foul mouthed and starting fights about 'that birds looking at you in a funny way' or 'who won the shopping match' on that there QVC station.

These, like not whingeing when we are ill, are other things you won't catch us men doing. ::o
