If you had the flu you wouldn't be able to life your head off the pillow never mind sit on the comp posting. You must be getting it mixed up with the cold.

Awwww sorry to hear that Crunchy. Hope you soon feel better

    I know real flu

I've got the lergy as well, bliddy kids and their germs  even my bones ache  is she bothered NO

Have one of these 

 Me too, one of the worst feelings ever. Energy levels were so low I could hardly roll over to take a drink of water!

Crunchy has the man flu!

It's flu, RR

The reason why I'm on the comp is cos I'm a man and I can handle it, it doesn't knock me for 6 too much

Man flu's a terrible curse, take a painkiller and you'll be fine tomorrow  

I know what you mean RR, after witnessing my mam go through it. She was never the same after it and eventually died in 2001. And while I don't blame it on that, she lost an awfull lot of the strength she had because of it.

I'm with RR on this. If you had the real flu, rather than a cold, you'd be in your bed and somebody would have to make you chicken soup and cold compresses.

I'm on the Beechams all in one syrup stuff. £7 it cost me, the robbing bastards!

Woah Cologne 2 agreements in one night! Could be the start of something beautiful!

 

And paracetamol is much cheaper if you can take it

Flu is awfull, but even more so when it is classified as " man flu". been their done it and got the tee shirt.

Doesn't work as well though. This is like all in one stuff so it has paracetomol as well as other stuff that makes you better (hopefully)

Hi MMD  Elaborate please, what do you class as flu?

It's terrible and you wouldn't be posting on the forum if you had flu, you would if you had man flu 


Crunchy I still think you have man flu 

Y'see if you lived in Wales you could get all your medication free on prescription. 

And it ain't flu if you can haul your arse to a pooter and even LOOK at a bright screen. I had flu - proper flu - when I was 17. I was essentially unconscious for 3 days and it took me weeks to recover.

You heard about the flu test? If you see a £50 note float past your bedroom window and you crawl out of bed to get it then you don't have flu. It's a heavy cold - which IS lousy. But it's not flu.

Same as NI now as well!

Paracetamol is just about the only thing for flu. It will keep the temperature down. It's a wonder drug really for all sorts of pain. The rest of Beecham's is carp, sorry Crunchy. You're better off taking the tablets and have some hot water with a squeeze of real lemon and a wee bit of sugar.

hi onetoo. Flu lays you up in bed for at least a week unable and unitersted to do anything. Flu is often interprated wrongly for a heavy cold or maybe something else. Someone with Flu would not be posting on here.

 

LOL Cariad  As some of us say, there is a hell of a difference between a cold and flu

thanks Cologne.

Have you really?

I think you could have flu and type BUT you are to chirpy  so its probably just Gin 

Have a long lie in xx

yes.

Love the colour, suits ya sir, suits ya 

I've just been diagnosed with flu. It's no cold, it's proper full on flu. I can't lift anything, I can only muster up enough energy to type.

 Is some one taking care of you?

Nah, you wouldn't even be able to lift your arms, your head, your anything

Awww Crusty Bits I'm amazed how you can be at death's door yet say it won't knock you for 6, you wee little hero you

Keep to the paracetamol, it'll help you to feel a bit brighter cos the temp will drop. Get round your ma's and ask her to make you a hot curry (curry powder and peppers in abundance), then go home, put on loads of clothes and sweat it out. Vit C (orange juice, oranges etc) will also help, as will Vicks on your forehead or cold strips.

Failing that, jump on a train down here and I'll kick you around the park for a bit. xx

Awwwwwww. Is this an internet diagnosis? If you had proper flu you would not be here now. Get a grip mate, you have a cold. Get some whiskey and hot water down yer neck.

I'm outta this thread. I suspected it a while ago, but I reckon it is deffo a wind up

I'm not here (where ever here is), I'm in my own bed.

And i will second that Karma. Man flu my arse.
