It could be flu, and I am not talking man flu. Influenza can be severe and horrible, it can also mild - moderate which is also unpleasant

If it was flu there is no way he’d be posting on here...

Its unlikely but possible, not all flu is equal, and mild cases which should still last for a week, as opposed to a common cold wouldnt prevent posting on a message board or even working from home.

Going to the football is out the question though with those symptons where it is the flu or not, cos 1) whats the point you are going to have a shit time, 2) it's not ok to go round spreading your germs

No such thing as mild flu sorry you are completely wrong. Flu is flu colds are colds. Flu puts you in bed unable to function no mild about it and that's a fact, ask a doctor

There is at 3 strains of different flu (not including mammals and bird strains) not all are killers/make you totally bedbound, I dont need to ask a doctor thanks on certain strains of Influenza you can function relatively normally. Theres a total myth that having the "real flu" incapacitates you

Thats what happens hanging around Dukes Mound at this time of the year.
Guaranteed to catch one of three things when you hang around there in December, nicked by the Old Bill, catch a sexual transmitted disease or get influenza.

Type C, or is it A, can incapacitate you though.

I got Banged up by the old bill, a cheap thrill, got to meet @Ernest, then a STD but drinking dried Hebridean seaweed everyday has kept the influenza away.

... in fact first home game since August 2015

Horrible hacking cough , fever, nausea , general feeling of tiredness and achy limbs

Soluble Paracetamol a god send.

Any NSC remedies?

I am just getting over this came on Boxing Day after the game went from feeling quite well to like death in a couple of hours then spent next three days either to hot or to cold plus the symptoms you have drink loads of water the 1000mg combo each of paracetamol and Ibuprofen

Is there a ban for deliberately sharing a virus on NSC?

I'll still make the game tomorrow though.

Just take Anadin for the aches. Codeine works a treat but with no doctors open, any supplements containing it will make you feel a lot better.

Hope you make the match.
