Heard about this.. not sure I am convinced though

[BrilloPad]

Are you sure that wasn't when you booked NLyUK and her friend 'Peggy' Sue for an overnight session?

They told me they cancelled due to a visit to the clinic.

I bet MM offered more than the 5p I offered....

One thing can lead to another.

I was battered by something very similar a few months ago, led to lock jaw and all sorts (luckily I could still type my venom on here)

Yeah that's what my doc said, probably blowing my nose too much and too much decongestant which can create a rebound effect (make you more congested then you were in first place), it takes a lot to put me out, I was too sick to do anything but stand-up, my face / head just hurt too much. At least its before xmas and hopefully out of the way

Sounds like your misses wasn't making you enough lemsips. In future, show her this vital research and make sure she looks after you. This could have been dealt with in 3 days not 4 weeks if your misses had been "educated".

Totally agree.

If he's laid up in bed and not bringing home any bacon, she shouldn't cut off her nose to spite her face.

Its real or there is something nasty going a round this year, I haven't had cold in years, but have been ill now for nearly 3 weeks rolling into the 4th now, 2 weeks with a bad cold that exhausted me that then became in a sinus infection from week 3, felt like I had two plugs up my nose and in my ears, had been smashed in the face with have a hammer and I had tooth ache in all my top right teeth. Its taken week of antibiotics and steroid nasal spray to start bringing it under control, nasty, nasty ..... on flip side I have totally stopped smoking and will keep this up and lost nearly a stone in weight.

I gave them it good. And the other lot. Didn't see you there though. Maybe you were in the jungle somewhere.

The last thing I wanted was to slow the march to victory down with my asthma.

[MrMarkyMark]

Widely recognized, the Guardian just caught on late...

[PhiltheGreek]

yeah but he bought us an extra year to get the army up to scratch, then we gave it good to them Krauts.

So, I know the link is from the Guardian so obviously they try belittle the research - but here is proof us men suffer from man flu.

Poor scientific research.

[woohoo]

I said that to Chamberlain - no use waving bits of paper at us, you should be threatening that Kraut with it. Didn't listen of course.
