It can't be proper man flu or you would be too ill to be on here
even full blown "man flu" didn't stop me posting on PH, some of us have either, no life or are very dedicated.
for reference (scale of near deathness purposes) I had a coctail of the current Influenza virus, bronchitus, sinusitus, tonsilitus and laryngitus all at the same time, 4 weeks on antibiotics and I still managed to visit my lady for a couple
of hours a day, post on PH for a couple of hours and sleep for 20 hours a day.
Real Mans Flu, for a real man!!
Must admit I felt a tad ruff!!
Pah, that's not man flu. I had a cold, I went to the doc's, he sent me to the hospital for a second opinion. En route I was in a plane crash and lost all my limbs. Hospitalised for days, I contracted SARS. In an effort to treat it they painted me all over with necrotizing fasciitis.
I was as right as rain in no time, you ask our lass.

But if you was "well 'ard", you'd have climbed a mountain, saved children from starvation and stopped a train crash, all from your 'near death bed'
as you didn't, you are just a normal bloke, like the rest of us.

Well, I didn't like to blow my own trumpet...
So what makes 'man flu' man flu and not just a cold? Women get colds. Men get the equivalent and decide they are near death.
I'm not usually pro-female, but when it comes to colds, you men are hopeless.
Get your snot-ridden butts down to the chemist, blast it with pills and get back to work, you self-pitying creatures!
Too sick to post on PH? Why - it doesn't render your arms useless or your brain inanimate, does it? A kleenex up each nostril and a genuine will to live will no doubt do the trick.

Always think their wimpy little colds are worse than a mans. You lot don't know your born. The pain we have to go through to keep you happy. You change the rules to suit yourselves, and when we think we have them sussed, you change them again
. If we open a door for you we are sexist, if we dont we are pigs . Here are some of the things you say to make us feel small He said . . . I don't now why you wear a bra; you've got nothing to put in it.
She said .. . . You wear pants don't you
He said .. . .Shall we try swapping positions tonight?
She said . . . That's a good idea - you stand by the ironing board while I sit on the sofa and fart all night.
How about some of the jokes you tel about us
Man says to God: "God, why did you make woman so beautiful?"
God says: "So you would love her."
But God," the man says, "why did you make her so dumb?"
God says: "So she would love you."
Q. Why are married women heavier than single women?
A. Single women come home, see what's in the fridge and go to bed. Married women come home, see what's in bed and go to the fridge.
You see, we can never win. Even on our death beds with MAN FLU you belittle us. We cant win
There, a few home truths

And give it to everyone else in the office? If you're not contagious you work. If you'd spread it around you stay the hell out of the way of anyone who might catch it! Its plain good sense!
All that moaning bit is just for effect.
tty stick. Man flu is far far worse than Bird Flu, but as usual the Birds moaned about it so much last year they got it on all the national news and managed to close half of Asia while a few of them got the sniffles. Bloody typical there's us suffering from full blown Man Flu and soldiering on while they manipulate the media and scheme away to raise awareness of a bloddy female cold.

At a crappy job I used to do me and my colleagues used to call in sick to a particularly gormless manager with various exotic conditions to see if they would twig. I personally used scurvy, ebola and yellow fever on different occasions

I spent my youth with every winter a misery of successive respiritory infections. Getting the flu jab every year improved matters a lot and it has been proven that flu jabs work against the common cold though the mechanism is not known. The biggest improvement was when I had the Pneumovax injection which protects against a cocktail of different varieties of Pneumococcus. Together with the annual flu jab this made me virtually infection free.
I fly to dive around the world which exposes one to lots of nasty bugs during the flight, no good if you then catch an infection and want to dive. To help I take zinc, garlic and vitamin c every day and if I feel an infection starting I boost my immune system with echinacea, though this is only effective for a few days and so shouldn't be taken regularly.
In the past 20 years I have had one day off work through illness.

Had it all this week. Even got made to sleep on the blow-up bed in the lounge for a night so she wouldn't catch it.
Been at work as haven't got broadband at home yet and needed to feed my PH addiction.
After random drug testing I can honestly say that lemgup max strengh are the mutt's nutts (I go for the capsuls as it tastes w**k), washed down by a nice warm 'bena or ice cold glucoseade.
Avoided the sore throat though so nicotine addiction not adversly affected.
