Manflu

[FatLazyContractor]

Are you new round here? I have been a permie since 2009 after 21 years contracting. I stay here due to S58, annoying cokak/admin and lack of being able to find the exit.

Insulting a mod is a ban-able offence

That was what give me manflu in the first place.

Which makes me ask the question - Why-o-Why ?!!!

Which is why I served a 2 year ban. And I have had more 1 month bans than MF has had hot dinners.

Suity is much misunderstood. CUK would be far worse without him. If people don't like his posts then just ignore them.

Colds and flu not even vaguely similar

Do you really have manflu?

PEOPLE with colds who claim to have the flu have been reminded that the two things are entirely ******** different.

Doctor Mary Fisher said: “If you have a cold you do not have the flu, in the same way that having indigestion is not that same as having measles. or a migraine the same as a sprained ankle.

“In fact, in the same way that any two things that are not at all the same are different, unless you are either a malingerer or an absolute moron.

“Flu is a week-long drugs trip during which the sufferer lies inert and shivering while hallucinating about going on a car journey with a clown and a cat they owned when they were eight.

“Sweat ****s out of them as they lose all grip on reality, and after several days of writhing in their own steaming fluids they will either stagger to their feet or die.

“By comparison, a cold is characterised by having a runny nose and feeling a bit tired.”

There are quite a few contractors here who talk more bollx than the permies. Admin has been trying to find ways to enable newbies to decide whose opinion is to be listened to - like rep - but every time he tries something new it is "gamed" by the regulars straight away and becomes meaningless.

Do you really have manflu?

I am dying here! Do you have no sympathy?

Everything you need to know: Man Flu Home

Man Flu can be a frightening and lonely experience. There's no need to be afraid, we're here to help.

It's important to remember that YOU are an expert in self diagnosis. Don't be influenced by what others, particularly females, may say about your condition. If anyone can say whether you've got Man Flu, it's you, so stick to your instincts.

The first rule of Man Flu is DON'T PANIC. Man Flu can smell fear. Man Flu will normally initially present itself as a bit of a sniffle, dull aching all over or just 'not feeling right'. It's important to let as many people know exactly how you feel, particularly other men. This will give them the opportunity for early preparation should then begin to fall ill.

At this stage you may find women become sarcastic, cold or unsympathetic towards you. This is simply a primitive defence mechanism ensuring that you keep your distance from them and therefore lessen the likelihood of them carrying the virus home to their husband or boyfriend.
