taxi4ballet Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 A member of staff in the paper shop this morning was saying he didn't feel well, and he was sure he had Man-Flu. Ever sympathetic, his colleague suggested that it sounded more like Man-Cold to her and he said he didn't care what it was called, as long as he got some sympathy. After some careful deliberation we decided that what he was actually suffering from was Man-Sniffle!! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a medical site which will help you diagnose whether a man is suffering from Man Flu, and if so, how to treat it/him, what the effects are, etc. Do look at all the different areas of the site to enable you to understand this most serious of illnesses.... I do hope it's helpful.... http://manflu.info/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangorballetboy Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Men never get colds, and you mustn't insult them by suggesting otherwise I HATE sweeping generalisations like this. I haven't had flu since I was a teenager and would never suggest that a cold is anything other than a cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxi4ballet Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Last night my husband saw a friend of ours who is unwell and said to me this morning: "He spent ages telling me all about his laryngitis..."!!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swanprincess Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 haha Sim, that website made my day! When I had a cold, I still had to go to school, when my sister had it she still did 2hrs of gymnastics class, when my mum had ut she still went to work.... when my stepdad had the exact same symptoms, he lay on the sofa, coughing and whimpering, acting like he was ready to drop dead at any moment, for about a week!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 My poor hubby not well today - is he off work? NO! And he's got a band rehearsal tonight as well. Very much one for carrying on as usual... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
