FLU JABS

[Georgiesmum]

Do you think these are worth having? Ive heard good and bad reports of them.

[Ellipsis]

I've been done! Mind you, it would cost me a tenner round trip to drive to my nearest Asda.

[starone]

I wouldn't miss mine for anything. It has kept me free of flu for years and so as long as I can I shall go on having them. It is only a quick scratch and it is done and so far I have had no ill effects at all. Anyone who has had real flu and knows how devastating it is will be glad of the opportunity of having the flu injection.

[Jeza]

Many people who have a bad cold think, and call it flu. You have to have been there. Flu is not a couple of days off work. It is a killer.

the only year i didnt have the jab i got flu and it was awful so now i make sure i have it but i hate the aching arm the next day although its only for a day or so.

The crusties round our way having their free flu jabs are like a herd of wild elephants. If it's scheduled 2-4, you can bet your butt they're all racing each other at 2 o'clock in case they miss out on their freebies.

[Jeza]

Victor.... What are crusties? Are you speaking of the old folk?

[Mamyalynne]

Nice terminology Victor.

[VictorMildew]

Jeza, yes.

mamalynne, honestly, it's like a rugby scrum, nothing guaranteed to get a crustie and his/her zimmer flying along like some freebie or other.

Mamya, one could be forgiven for thinking Victor was a 'crustie'. Victor has been posting regularly since last month after some 31 months' absence from AB. So much time on the poster's hands.

Victor, has it not occured to you that a lot of the older patients may well be 'at risk'?

[Mamyalynne]

Hold a sign up need you are out will either get you with my walking stick or the white one , one day my lad one day....

[Mamyalynne]

PS Victor - I am 59 and no crusts on me.

[Jeza]

Victor. Mic is 63 I am 62. We live on our work pensions and savings. We claim NOTHING from the state. In an earlier thread I said I paid for the flu jab. How old are you, My guess 30/40ish. your time will come. You disgust me.

[Mamyalynne]

oops
'Hold a sign up NEXTyou are out'

just done eye drops.

PS Victor - Flu can be a killer.

[VictorMildew]

Oh, Jeza, it was a lighthearted joke, dear. Have you ever heard a joke before? lol

[ttfn]

Victor, I am not your 'dear' nor ever likely to be.

[Mamyalynne]

This is 'Body and Soul' not jokes or Chatterbank

[DaisyNonna]

Jokes are supposed to be funny. Calling people dear is patronising.

[Mamyalynne]

He is not funny but would win a patronising badge - you aren't wrong there.

[ABerrant]

"I've been abroad, dear."

Dissembling again paraffin. This latest resurrection was necessitated by the bannings and/or suspensions of ahmskunnirt, OrcadianOil, Kerosene, eyethenkyew, etc.
