Brock Manson 0 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I asked my goalie coach why he was icing as a d-man last night. "I've actually had the flu for a week, so I'm going to be a player tonight." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Lazaru 0 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Its the same with both men and women, 9 times out of 10 when people say (or even think) they have the flu its actually a bad cold! I think i read somewhere that the test is if you are in bed and out the window you see a £50/£100 note and you won't get up to get it, then you have flu!

JJ 0 Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 I've thought I had flu a load of times til I actually got it, then I knew about it. Aye it's fucking horrible like. I was the same. I've only had flu once. When I was about 16 I think it was. I was dying. Today? Totally fucked. I know it's not flu but it's DEADLY MAN FLU which we all know is decidedly worse. And my team have a cup tie at 2. I'm just leaving now. Should be a fun day at the office. Brr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Aye, a cold is a cold but if you get flu you really know about it. I've got a sore throat and feel a bit under the weather. Could be to do with the gypo at work who coughed on me and left snotty tissues all over the desk mind.

Matt 0 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I've only had proper flu once and it was pretty awful. Still waiting for this year's 48-hour illness. My way of combating it is to load up on Lemsip until i cant feel my hands any more. If I still can, the kettle goes back on. Even if I stay ill, at least I won't feel it.

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I've found the best form of defence is vitamin c & zinc lozenges from Holland & Barrett. I very rarely getting anything past the first stages of a cold. I think the zinc helps your body absorb the vit c which boosts your immune system.

JJ 0 Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 from dailyrecord.co.uk MAN FLU IS NOT TO BE SNIFFED AT WOMEN may think it's an urban myth used by blokes to sneak a day off work but "man flu" really does exist, at least according to a survey. The winter virus is no laughing matter as it's set to cause 30million lost working days this year. Now men's magazine Nuts - not usually noted for their in-depth medical research - claim they have evidence that males really do suffer more. They point out that 64 per cent of men have been off work with flu compared with 45 per cent of women. In the Nuts survey of 2000 adults of both sexes, they found men take an average of three days to recover, compared with 1.5 days for the average woman. They say men spend £18.34 each on flu remedies, while women spend just £12.03. And, while most women prefer to fight the bug by staying active, 82 per cent of blokes insist staying in bed is the best remedy. Of course, some women will believe this is just a sign that men are prone to be hypochondriacs. But Nuts health correspondent Pete Cashmore said: "We always knew man flu was a very real, potentially catastrophic sickness." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6369 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 This 'man flu' is fucking sexist if you ask me. When I was running the helpdesk it was always the women ringing in sick saying that they were at death's door and that they couldn't face it - the blokes tend to just get on with it...

Holden McGroin 5147 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 A good bit of exercise normally rids me of a cold. Been training tonight so hopefully should be okay tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve 0 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 You know, if you eat healthy, drink plenty of water, avoid alcohol and take your vitamins ALL THE TIME you won't have to worry about man flu. The last time I had it would have to be four or five years ago. But I guess people don't want to hear that kind of thing huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 (edited) I asked my goalie coach why he was icing as a d-man last night. "I've actually had the flu for a week, so I'm going to be a player tonight." Did this make sense to anyone else? Yes - he went through a phase of being a netminder. Gone quiet on the old ice hockey has Brock, but I think Bracknell play in a shit league now so he probably can't be arsed..
