Default The dreaded "Man Cold"

Both my children have had a cold as well as my wife, they were unwell etc.... but really just a bit off color.

I started feeling a bit avg yesterday and I wake up today with a Man Cold.

I think women/wives don't understand how serve and debilitating the Man Cold is, constant care and attention is required.

It feels as though Death is stalking me.....

Props to you all who are suffering from a Man Cold and its far nastier cousin the Man Flu (makes swine flu look like a walk in the park).

I prescribe.....gaming and foot massages.

Agreed, the man cold is a different strain of cold. Women just don't understand our suffering

I got it at the moment. Sitting at home now, but I need to go buy courier bags so I'll spread it a little.

Dang all you guys are dropping like flies..... is it contracted through XBox Live??
Teljam has a bad run of it at the moment also, seems so bad that he can't really move the poor bugger.
My wife called me home from work yesterday as she didn't even have the energy to dress the baby, perhaps my unfortunate run is still to come??

It's probably just the swine flu, but because it's just the bloody flu there is no way I'm going to the doctors.

I don't think they're testing for it anymore, just prescribing Tammiflu and getting people back home to get the F over it!

For me it's just the wife with it..... Baby is fine, and all I have is a slight tickle in the throat..... but that cold just be my mind playing tricks on me.

It's clearly tough being a man at the moment:

The recession has been renamed the He-cession. 80% of the people who have lost their jobs are male, the companies are run by males and almost everyone at the Job Summits around the world were male.

Half the problems women have start with

MENtal illness
MENstrual cramps
MENtal breakdown
MENopause
GUYnecologist
HISterectomy

Must be careful not to catch the latest mutation of the Swine Flu:

If you wake up in the morning not feeling well, with what could be described as flu-like symptoms; headache, nausea, chills, sore eyes, etc.

You may test positve for what experts are now calling Wine Flu. This debilitating condition is very serious- and it appears that lots of people get it. This is more dangerous than most flus as there is no built up immunity - you can get it over and over and over again.
