Man Flu

**Bob Bacon** · 20-10-2007, 08:55

The season of winter chills and sniffles has arrived with a vengeance. I’ve been off sick this week with the man-flu, (A cold simply doesn't sound serious enough!)

For those unfamiliar with this insidious condition, man flu is the same flu a woman gets, but much, much worse. Once it takes hold in its victim - always male as the name suggests - it is completely debilitating and only complete bed rest and mollycoddling by the nearest and dearest female can treat it.

It’s meant I needed to lie in my bed for a few days, groan, be brought tea, groan some more and then whimper.

Still a bit under the weather, but I’m feeling much better. Hopefully I can start my regular posting again starting today. I’ll try to throw up a quiz for tomorrow as well!

As all men know, there's nothing funny about Manflu. Its a serious ailment afflicting 50% of the population, only the male can understand the suffering involved.

Do you think we gals don't suffer when you men get sick, it's like being punished for crimes committed in a past life....you just don't know what you've done to deserve it!! :winker:

But be aware of those nasty side effects, just ask Gwyn LOL.
I think I can feel a touch of Canadian Man-Flu coming on, anyone know a good female, around 25ish, willing to come and look after me?
