Come on guys we've all done it... just try saying "Sorry baby this isn't anything like you get... This is serious!

I think I have..... MAN FLUE!!! o_O do a couple of little coughs and I've even prepared and tinkled a little bell for room service....

nah it didn't work out well lol :giggle:
 
When i first arrived in Australia I used to laugh at work when someone would have 2 days off and say they had had the flu, I used to tell them that if you really had the flu you could expect 3 to 6 weeks off work it is one of the most energy sapping illnesses to have.
 
Years back, I remember being shocked to see a Greek mates older aged mother, busily preparing food in their kitchen late one afternoon. (Think Ma Kettle, but as a Greek woman) I said what is your mother doing here, shouldn't she still be in hospital, after all she just had a baby yesterday. Gerry said she checked herself out and came home to prepare the food for the celebration... true story.

People still do, they don't know the difference between the common cold and the flu.
I had the Hong Kong flu some 50 years ago now, was in bed, off work for 6 weeks.
Thank God I have never had the flu again, not even a cold for that matter😰😓
