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:

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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