Man flu is it fact or fiction?

Many a study has been made by academics over the years to prove that man flu does in fact exist, had they of just asked me I could of saved them £millions,
I tried explaining that I suffer from a form of man flu that is worse than normal man flu to [MENTION=165]silver[/MENTION] but he was having none of it, for almost 15 minutes I was telling him how much I was suffering and did I get any sympathy? No ........... Not a single word, unless of course "man up you great woooss" is a new kind of sympathy.

I think what I did wrong was that I should of told him how ill I was for 30 minutes, I gave up far too soon.

So my fellow pen turners 2 things are to be learnt from this thread, firstly man flu is real and secondly if you get it, don't tell Eamonm,

Just do what I do and don't mention it to anyone :blah1::vomit:

Fiction, you need to live with my family. Who are all medically trained! I’m sure they knew someone who had done a paper on it for their PhD :funny:

Think you will find, it was “Man up you big Girl, grow a pair and get over it!”

Having two female nurses in the house, I tried that and could clearly see it’s a dumb and mute point.

I even went down the route of saying the the WHO would be interested in my symptoms as it may be a new strain! I daren’t even mention it now as I think I would be quarantined for weeks and left to fend for myself. :rolling:

So, if I can’t get away with Man Flu then no one else can either…..:mooney2:

You wouldn’t have lasted, even the phone exchange gave up listening to you and decided to cut you off as it was anyway. :funny:

I am surprised he actually lasted that long on the phone,

He didn’t Mark, his phone cut out three times as it was and I’m not sure [MENTION=2366]Garno[/MENTION] took the hint that it was telling him to move on and man up as well. :rolling:

That's a relief, I thought it was you falling asleep and accidently hanging up :funny::funny:
