Manflu

I'd like to start by saying this is not meant as a 'moan' but more of a male statement of fact!

Guys will fully understand the seriousness of manflu....... especially my good friend FreelanceNerd who i know 1st hand has suffered the torments...... as recently as the Soul Survivor 'NewDay' event. So bad was it that it forced him and Mrs FreelanceNerd to hire a caravan rather than stay in a tent!!!!!

No other strain of influenza has proved as deadly as the male-variety, it leaves the sufferer with what can only be termed as 'excruciating' unrelenting pains of the head, nasal, legs, back and chestal areas. The brain pretty-much switches off during the illness as well.

Even a mild-form like the one that kept me away from work today can feel like the end is coming. It doesnt help that one has to put on hold any rest/sleeping until 8.55 to contact employers to notify them of your absence for the day, but a nice long sleep goes some way to aleviate the man-flu......... the problem is it may return at any moment without prior warning..........
