Glad you are well but you clearly did not have swine flu.
I have a strong feeling that most diagnoses in the UK are false.

Agreed, hey ho, I carry on billing as usual for reading CUK

Similar to what I did last night, I bought a bottle of Knob Creek bourbon (had a few glasses but not the bottle), made a more than average hot Lamb Jalfrezi, got an early night and slept for 10hrs with a winter duvet on the bed and drank LOADS of water..

woke up this morning feeling starving hungry and good as new

Good news Chef

I forgot to mention what I do when it's coming on. A few pints and a nice hot curry, then retreat to bed early with a large flask of tea.

"Feed a cold, starve a fever". It's a swine if a cold makes you lose your appetite.

Chicken Soup - like Menelaus said.

Instant noodles as well, and Monster Munch 'nice n spicy'.

Lots of seriously strong cheddar.

Cauliflower cheese is my ultimate comfort food, and lots of proper cups of tea. Made properly though, I am v pernickerty about the making of the tea.

I can guarantee that I'll get a bad head cold if I'm forced to work in a stuffy office.

How often do you guys get flu and stuff like sore throats? Every year?

Oh yes - there will be a couple of days where you really won't be able to stomach a meal. Eat well beforehand.

You might see it on the way out, you might not. Take a gamble.

Crikey, I honestly don't remember *ever* losing my appetite, not even slightly, when I've had flu or anything else. If I'm ever off my food, I'll know I'm really in trouble.

[Lockhouse]

Fruit smoothies and chocolate.

Cured Ham - it's the antidote
