Evolution my arse

Wonder if the researchers were male or female!!
Take a wild guess Baz!
I've just got over a bad cold of which I soldiered on, I passed it to mr stonks and as it was passing over it mutated into the worse flu ever seen on this planet and he nearly died....

Ah... now... you see that wouldn't stand up to proper scientific scrutiny stonks! Merely anecdotal!
He told me every single symptom over and over again....
Man flu....

"He says his team at the University of London deliberately infected men and women with the flu virus."Maybe he didn't ask permission?
This subject reminds me of the old joke, "What's the difference between a 125 and Mrs Joe?"
Answer= The 125 stops whining when it gets to Kings Cross. HaHa geddit?

I think the 2women complained more" remark is total cobblers. I've never yet met a bloke who doesn't act as if he's dying at the first sign of a cold.
There's the saying:
Children get colds
Men get flu
Women get on with it.

I can assure you I don't. As someone who's considered "at high risk" from flu, the tendency to refer to bad colds as "flu" really, really annoys me. I'm pretty certain that most of those who do this have never had proper flu. I recently had the "vomiting bug": not life-threatening, but unpleasant and damn irritating (in more ways than one). I couldn't leave the house for three days. I was therefore not happy when a couple of female friends dismissed my absense as being down to "man flu".

That certainly what happened with Mr Blizz.He was pretty shocked at just how bad real flu was, when he actually got it!
He still moans for England, when he's ill, though!
I turned the whole "man flu" phenomenon back round on them recently. I had a cold, and hubby asked how I was feeling, I replied "ah not too bad... its not that bad.. its only man flu"...
He became extremely alarmed ... saying "there is no only about man flu bird, you sit down.. I'll do dinner"
I did laugh... and to his credit.. he did do a bit of housework, cook the dinner & did the schoolrun the next day!
I felt like a fraud dossing on the sofa!
