Is this genuine man flu

[terrier]

I'm bored! I've had three nights of the shivers, just getting over the worst of a streaming cold today, can't bring myself to go out to the veg patch or greenhouse to pick stuff even with my eskimo tuxedo on. I just want to sit by the fire and toast. Only just managed to get myself out into the yard once to check the animals were OK after standing by the open fire for half an hour to get very hot! Cysgod is restricted to the yard with a poorly hoof so he's totaly peed off as well. Because he's in the yard, the terriers are restricted to their runs instead of the whole yard to play in and they're not happy about it and to cap it all, Meggie terrier is in season and driving the two dogs mad (the hussy).Princess Guinness has just weed on the carpet in the front room and all the puppies are shouting at the top of their voices for their mum. See. I told ya' I was bored. Headaches getting worse and could only find one Paracetamol and I think that was about 10 years old. I recon it must be fever 'cos I'm sitting here typing this garbage.I've been off my food for a few days and just read that thread about "kill it, eat it" etc, feeling really iffy now. Is it mid winter yet? Can't be long before the nights start to get shorter, yippee! Roll on SUMMER. Anyone got any good online party games?

Oh dear...pretty cr@p then

I heard a definition of flu on the radio this week.....if you're too ill to go out of the house and pick up a £20 note off the pavement then you've got flu.

Starve a fever, feed a cold...well you fulfill the flu bit on that

Flu lasts 2 weeks doesn't it?? Only had real flu once and that lasted 2 weeks and I didn't care if I lived or died I ached so much.
Each strain must be different of course???

Hope you feel better soon Terrier- have you got someone to pamper you???

Talking of lame horses...ours will somehow get himself lame this weekend cos we're going home! ( I'm sure they natter to each other in the field and say- if you kick me , then I'll kick you...just enough to get out of being ridden for a couple of weeks)

If I have a really bad headache I stick a hottie on it ( or top of neck cos that can cause headaches!)...seems to help .

[SlugLobber]

Poor you! Love Nicos' definition, but I'm afraid I'd crawl if I had to, to get that twenty!

Shortest day is the 21st, but we're already in the middle of those few days when the sunset is the same. Obsessed with daylight? Me?

[MaureenHall]

Yep, sounds like flu to me! Hope you feel better for Christmas xxxxx big hugs too

No such thing as man-flu apparently. It's official:

'Man flu' should be renamed 'woman flu' - Telegraph

ooohhh the cheeky beggers

we may whinge more, but we keep going, tis the whinging that enables us to!

[Nicos]

I agree with Bride....we just need to be understood- thats why we whinge....we've already worked out that the more ya whinge, the less sympathy ya get!


...and just to make a point...women's pain thresholds vary throughout the month- makes a difference if you are on day 14 or 28...so there ya go lads...pay attention because tomorrow it'll all change!
