Things that have bothered you for a long time.

Flu. I've got it. Bad. AND I had the jab

Hope you recover soon.
I have only ever had PROPER flu once and I was really out of it for weeks. It put me in a coma and the Doc apparently thought it was menangitis at first.
Nowadays we take a herbal anti flu pill from November to April.......one per day for a week then one per week.
Been doing that for 7 years......so far so good

Which reminds me, people that have a little sneeze or a little cough and then say;
"I've got the flu."
No you haven't and you quite clearly never have.

Many years since I last had 'proper' flu. and I do know the difference Doc confirmed anyway

I should point out that my post was not aimed at you

To provide balance, (and not aimed @Mugshot) why is it that men going to the doctors with a cold or flu are so often derided and/or shamed as having "Man Flu" when most men don't go to a doctors nearly enough?

Have heard the term manflu - can you define it for me? -

I've only had full on nasty flu the once, in my late 30s. Up until then I'd hear on the news how a flu epidemic had killed XYZ number of elderly people, and I used to think that was an L.O.B. After being poleaxed with it myself I suddenly realised they weren't kidding.

Once for me too. I have never felt so ill in my life, didn't even have the energy to groan while I was lying there sweating. Took months to get over it fully too, could barely pedal for weeks.

I understand that.
I was off work 6 weeks with my dose and even then went back against the doctors advice (as good soldiers do ).
It was several months before I was fully "better".

Not that is has bothered me but just wondered...... With a bottle of alcohol free wine it states that the alcohol has been removed. OK, so where does the alcohol end up ? Is there some giant storage place somewhere, perhaps under 24 hour guard. I only asked !

Why does my car have lights in the footwells? Are some people unable to drive without being able to see where the pedals are?

For foot fetishists offering lifts?

Mrs DS new car has footwell lights, and ambient lighting in the ashtray, centre console, cupholders etc. Even worse, you can select one of dozens of different colours.
