So it must be The Manflu. (I thought wearing eyeliner would have prevented you getting it but there you go.)
You poor thing.
I recommend staying at home, keeping warm and having lots of drinks. Whisky is good.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think. -

WHS. Last time I had proper flu I spent 48 hrs in bed thinking about whether my will was up to date or not.Originally posted by RichardCranium View PostComment

You've got my sympathies.
Everybody knows ManFlu is more painfull than childbirth."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

When I was a heavy smoker I - like most heavy smokers - was kept safe from colds and 'flu. But about 20 years ago when I was living on my own I did get real 'flu and I can see why people die from it.Originally posted by DimPrawn View Post
I spent a day and a night in bed sweating and shivering and never properly waking up. I got up the next day feeling really, really, really bad and very hungry and very thirsty. I all but crawled downstairs to find the milk had gone off in the 'fridge.
Eventually I worked out four days had gone by.
All I managed that day was to eat some muesli in warm water, then crawled back into my (still damp from the sweating) bed.
My mother and an ex-girlfriend both subsequently told me off for not 'phoning for help. But it was all over by the time I could use the telephone.
But there is something I have done ever since then: when a direct report or a colleague is not in work by 10:30 I am on the 'phone to the agent or HR to get someone to telephone them at home. Because despite being a permie, no bugger thought to telephone me to see if I was dead or alive. I just got a bollocking for phoning in sick four days late. That hurt. Lots.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

Flu is debilitating so it an’t flu. If you suffer through a common cold it could be that you have problems with your sinuses and these become infected when you have a cold. This used to happen to me but I had the sinuses widened and now I just get normal colds be it that I haven’t had one for five years.Originally posted by Xenophon View PostPopulation: Me
