No, sorry Kovu, it's impossible for the female sex to get it. You just have to carry on stoically, doing the hoovering with just a slight cough occasionally.

If it was real man flu you would be a death's door. The soluton would be bed rest with a large TV linked to the sport channel and of course beer for the sore throat.

However as you are a woman you can only get normal flu, in which case you are expected at work tomorrow as normal.

It's called Bird Flu.

Hot toddy. Hot water, lemon, honey and shedloads of whiskey. That's what you need :hyper:

(Assuming you're over 16)

Yeah a name for it! :laugh: And I love the sound of that.

And Brains, I am at death's door, it hurts so badly. :biggrin: I'm just gonna sit and rock back and forth.

Hmmm. It could have mutated though. As there are a lot of blokes round here there is a lot of virtual exposure to the man flu virus. As an early mutated case Kovu, it could be particularly dangerous to you, much more so than man flu. The cure may be a prolongued sports event such as a domestic or international football competition or the ashes.

A couple of the girls at work have 'bird flu' as well. I love taking the mickey. But, they are at work struggling on - the guys tend to take a duvet day.

I've had a really crappy sore throat for a few days now, slight sniffle and a slight fever, apart from the throat quite mild, but not man flu that's for sure. Slightly nasty cough starting too...
Hope you're better soon.
