    Seriously, I'm sure a cold or flu becomes more severe the further into your lungs the incoming virus settles.
    WHS. If you don't breathe at all, the cold/flu will disappear completely.

    (Get well soon!)

    If have heard my niece's school have been struck by the same bug and they are all going down like flies. * **

    I have at least upgraded from bed to the sofa and can access the laptop.












    * My niece does not own the school, only attends.
    ** Serves the little germ breeding feckers right.

This happened constantly for at least another 500 years worth of reincarnations at which point in the year 2544 I was reincarnated as a human child. Well I grew up to be a great scientist who tamed black holes and cracked time travel.

    I then set my time machine back to the morning my previous incarnation had been killed, ariived and watched the accident, I picked up the laptop fand then travelled to the client where I used my Mutuality of Obligation clause to gain access and fulfill my obligations finishing the days work & billing at the end of the day!!!

    And THAT is a true story or strike me down.
    Whatever you say Pinocchio.

    WHS, but...

    One can't help but wonder that you seem stricken by a series of 'superbugs'. Isn't it more likely you're just weak... either because you're a pussy or because the first bug left your defences down (I know the 2nd is less fun but probably more likely).
    Keep eating healthy stuff and don't knacker yourself on the bike as much.

    Typed from sick bed as I had to send an email to ClientCo. Palpitations stopped, fever broken. Right lung still chokka.

    These designer viruses eh?

    I got cellulitis (not cellulite for anyone starts) a few years ago - that totally floored me, I was dreaming I was a crack in rock or a feather in a duvet, well weird. Freaked me out. Had a fever of 39.8c or something. I was spewing bile and had to crawl to the loo.

    In the end the Doc refused to come out (a Bob) so I called the ambulance and they treated me there and then and took me to hospital.

    They put a fan on my that froze my bollocks off and put me on an antiboitic drip. Next day I was right as rain!

    Three Bob docs came to see me and accused me of visiting Africa or the Tropics, finally the non-Bob consultant saw me and just said 'cellulitis'. Sorted.

    Never trust Bob Docs. Or contractors.
