Colds

[pasmith]

Man I hate having a cold.
I'm not the sort of person that cries "Flu" when all I've got is a cold but damn these things are annoying.
Spent most of my bank holiday weekend laying on the settee.
Now I've reached the latter stages where your nose and throat are half bunged up with snot. Don't feel to bad but I sound stupid.
I'm no conspiracy theorist but I'm sure a cure for the common cold exists somewhere. Probably buried in the vaults at Smithkline Beecham.

Yeah, I reckon so too.

I've got a snotty nose/sore throat at the moment but I can't decide whether I've got a cold or whether I'm starting with my hayfever.

Men do not get colds. It is a fact we get man flu...not unlike bird flu.

Does that mean there'll be a cull?

Yes, whenever men get "man flu" it's usually 'terminal' and involves lots of periods of prolonged lying on the sofa (often accompanied by Sky tv and/or X-Box) and sniffeling. Sometimes man flu sufferers will declare that they're "putting a brave face on it" because they actually are about to die any second and therefore need lots of symathy and attention.
