man flu sympathy thread

Dadaist · Post by **Dadaist** » 26 Sep 2005, 16:32

I have a very small dose of man-flu, the kind that stoic women struggle on with but which puts blokes in bed. I have come home from work with my Beechams and a pathetic attitude. Despite the fact that other people on the board have had real things wrong, I feel that there's something about man-flu which means I can ask for your sympathy. Please can I have your sympathy.

You have my sympathy Dadaist, as a fellow ex-sufferer of the dreaded man-flu. Which, as all men know, is one of the most virulent, debilitating diseases known to man-kind.......but not woman-kind - lucky them.

Sympathy extended, Dadaist.

If only woman realised the agony that man must endure, perhaps the world would be a kinder, brighter place.

Maybe you've got a Trojan...viruses abound

No sympathy at all.. EVER

Dadaist · Post by **Dadaist** » 26 Sep 2005, 17:22

Thank you my brothers in suffering. I'm going to make sure I get as much sympathy as possible from BB before I tell her I have eaten the last white choc-chip cookie.

You're too nice by far, Sandra.

They need a good, hard slap and told to pull themselves together.

Get a grip, Dada. You wuss!

The amazing 24 hour man-flu

You looked fine to me when I clocked you standing at the traffic lights and you were even strong enough to carry TWO bags of shopping........ explain yourself you big girl's blouse

You see? You just can't ever win. Go shopping and its "oh you were well enough to buy the milk and cook the dinner". Don't go shopping and its "oh so you just sat around on your lazy ass talking to journalists all day" (this isn't what BB would/will say, more what *women in general* say)

I just cooked sausage hotpot for BB whilst drinking my beechams and a cup of coffee and simultaneously fretting about keeping my dj roster happy, the press, and still managed to hoover my carpet in time for BB and neo-BB coming home to crawl on it. And I fed the cat. I believe I have earned my spurs today as a community member, husband, father and argumentative whiner.

I'm normally quite cosmopolitan and liberated, but this thread is most definitely battle of the sexes and I am batting for the blokes. You lot are from venus. I'm going to buy some darts, pigeons and a whippet.

No no no...men can't do multi-tasking, especially when they've got the flu

Dadaist · Post by **Dadaist** » 27 Sep 2005, 18:42

Oh I'm happy to admit we can't multi-task.

But we can watch 3 channels of TV all at the same time whilst reading the sports pages of the paper......"don't you dare touch that remote!"

Sandra finds "would you like another beer?" usually cures the deafness problem.

Bearcub is suffering from "man flu" and is feeling sorry for himself.

SoupDragon · Post by **SoupDragon** » 28 Oct 2006, 17:35

Poor Sandra, are you run ragged looking after him?

Dadaist · Post by **Dadaist** » 28 Oct 2006, 17:40

I'm feeling sorry for Bearcub. Please tell him to dose himself with his medicine or poison of choice.

Night nurse.

SoupDragon · Post by **SoupDragon** » 28 Oct 2006, 17:44

Mr Soupy swears by Lemsip with a dollop of honey and a tot of whiskey in it.

Dadaist · Post by **Dadaist** » 28 Oct 2006, 18:37

Covonia night-time or Benalyn overdose.

You can't muck about with night-nurse cos it's got paracetamol in it, but diphenhydramine is fine - knock yourself out!

Mr. Arachnid loves a " hot toddy"!!!!

I was actually away to a wedding reception last night, which BC was also meant to be attending.

so I left the sick man in on his own.

Honestly, Poppy it wasn't the JD and Coke. It really is man flu.

Oh Arachnid where's your sympathy for our poor suffering male Porty soul mate?
It's not just the men who enjoy a good footie game either. Mind you I think Mr. Arachnid can switch his hearing of, I've witnessed it eh!!

Don't worry Dadaist you have my sympathy, even though I would be going to work then coming home to do the washing and I'm sorry the Ironing etc. You poor men just can't cope with it you poor things.

ps
Get well soon

That was last year Dadaist had the dreaded " man flu"!!!

This time it's bearcub!!! The wee soul!!!

And I'm really very sympathetic!!!

Dadaist · Post by **Dadaist** » 30 Oct 2006, 20:33

I don't know if it's karma or what, but I now have an anniversary dose of man flu.

There's no way I'm taking more Covonia Night-Time like last night. I had 5 big spoonfuls and existed in this sort of nasty semi-conscious state for much of the night.

Tonight is booze night.

What's the recipe for a hot toddy? I have plenty of cheap whisky in the house.

Poppy · Post by **Poppy** » 30 Oct 2006, 20:38

mix a slug of whisky with a spoon of hunny, a clove, some lemon juice, and hot water (remove clove before slurping!!)
