Yeah Mr Sue had that last weekend. He even went to the doctor only to be told he had the common cold.
Obviously the physician's opinion couldn't possibly be right so he spent the whole day in bed "feeling hot", the Burger King he bought on the way back from the docs was purely medicinal Made it to the sofa sometime in the evening at which point he was "able to eat a small amount of shepherd's pie". His idea of small is very different to mine-there was none left the next day
He is now back to normal, he has managed against all odds to fight off the dreaded MAN FLU



I got a mild cough and slightly sore throat two days later...

Isn't that typical of a woman to moan and quibble over a little bitty tickly cough, while her husband lays dying!!!

I'm such a heartless bitch I went out shopping and left him lying in agony all alone at home. On the plus side I bought some great boots!

Is man flu the male equivalent of PMT?
You know; that fabricated condition where women get away with being grumpy for a week and then stabbing their partners?
You girls are fooling nobody.

Watch what you say, you, or I'll be round with a meat cleaver and a chainsaw in a couple of days timeAnd you'll only have yourself to blame

Are you suggesting that man flu isn't a real illness then?

Scaring or scarring? Though I'm sure he would say both apply...

Pedantically yours, Sue
