The manflu debate

[suityou01]

It is currently a topic of conversation since I got a little sniffle over Christmas. For a couple of days I was quite rough and needed to rest on the sofa. SY02 kept telling folks on the phone I had manflu. I heard this and for the last few days have started calling her "nurse" in fairly pathetic tones.

As she is a luverly lady she responds and brings the essential lemsip and Christmas cake to speed recovery.

At the dinner table today it was my contention that woman are actually genetically more capable of keeping going with colds and flu's as they had to be back in the times of cavemen and women as they needed to protect the brood while the huntsman was on maneuvers.

STFU, seriously

If there was no vomiting of blood, it wasn't manflu.

Us fully-fledged "huntsmen" don't GET ailments like manflu. We just tough it out and get on with it should anything pierce our body defences.
Manflu is something that affects weedy pigeons and big jessies. Which one are you....................Dorothy?

You don't think it might be something worse? If you list the symptoms, we can do a web search.

Better to find out all the things it could be I always say, and not worry needlessly about unknown unknowns.
