i've picked up a cold, but am really worried that i could be getting man flu.

Could anyone tell me what man flu symptons are, and what would be the best remedy if i'm unlucky to catch it.

I have personally found Manflu to be lethal many times. I had a fatal dose a fortnight ago, so I know what you are going through. If possible, try to sleep, I would recommend reading the AB Law section to assist.
well the major symptom will be the feeling that no one has ever been this ill.

lots of mollycoddling and understanding is a good remedy
A fatal dose, Gromit?

Mr P had man flu last week. Of course he carried on working and only collapsed when he got home, because he is big & hard.
Man flu is the same as a cold in a woman -runny nose, bad head, but we still wash up, clean the clothes, cook, housework........in a man it is 50 million times worse and they lie on the couch, moan that they had to work etc.!!!

My darling hubby had a cold, sorry man flu and I asked him if he would like a flu remedy from Asda while I was shopping (cos I only had a cold) and he said he thought a bottle of rum would be the best treatment!!! He drinks it in hot water with a large dash of rum - in fact a 70cl bottle only lasts for one bout of man flu.

Good luck and put your feet up pet, us women do understand !! He he he
Oh dear me, I'm afraid man flu is the worst possible sort. You will have to lie on the sofa constantly sniffing and moaning, but most of all you need to have puppy dog eyes and a down turned mouth. Hope you are better soon.
Cutting your head off ?

My wife has just taken the remote control of me, and i did not even put up a fight.


Does that mean ''its here''?
Could be, could be. lol.
I am surprised that you have not asked your Wife for a bell to ring when you require anything!
Man flu is a terrible thing, especially for us WIVES!!!
Get better soon I can hear your Wife say!!!!
Took the remote off you without a fight?

There is no hope... write your will and get your financial affairs in order immediately...

Oh and order that coffin...
Laurence, just hang around in your boxer shorts and when the Mrs gives you a right good jab with the medicine needle don't feint.
Oh dear Lawrence!! stay away from the wife, if she gets it it could be terminal!!!! Does she not know that holding the remote is part of the healing process.

Women are just callous when us men are so desperately ill!!

I've got a bell & i'm ringing it loudly, but my wife is watching last night addition of eastenders via the sky planner, and everytime i ring the bell, she turns the TV up using my remote control.

surely she can hear me suffering?

I am sure your wife does hear you suffering but then again, maybe there is no more can be done! lol
oh dear does she need to wipe your b*M as well ? lol hope your better soon x
Hi laurence2

In our house the symptoms of man flu can be as simple as a sneeze or as obscure as passing wind

Mr oj is the master of manflu

if i were you lawrie id insist on watching the footi over the next few days and having your food and liquids brought to you as an ease to your suffering
A walking stick is useful at such times.

You can use it to bang on the floor when you need something brought up to you in bed.
Im betting she is watching eastenders through teary eyes, she probably doesnt want you to know she is devastated, maybe some gentle moaning in her direction may sooth her...
