flu

with all this scaremong... er talk about bird flu hitting the uk it seems i have been struck down by the more deadly, but more frequent, man-flu. man flu is certain cases is seriously debilitating and can render the victim full of self pity, self woe and some serious aches and pains. man-flu, or to use the latin commonus coldus, results in many sniffles and runny noses, a few hearty coughs, followed by a few more half-hearted ones that are a cry for help (well attention). the only cure for man-flu is plenty of food and lots of sympathy.
i am going for the plenty of food option.

man-flu is correct. us women realise it is only flu when you can't move your head on the pillow.
you have a common cold i'll bet.

I had terrible man-flu mid last week - did I get sympathy? Did I fuck.

It took all my strength to make it to the pub at the weekend...

because i live a lonely life (boo hoo woe is me!) whenever i am ill i struggle in to work. well if i am going to be miserable i may as well make other peole suffer!

it's the milk of human kindness.
