    What a load of bollox.

    First it was a tummy upset, then gout for the Christmas.

    Now I'm down with this cold/flu thats doing the rounds and I've a pain in the arse with the whole thing.

    Anyone else the same?.

    Mairt come on. You and Degsy portray yourselves as the boards tough fcukers. The muscle twins who are as hard as fcuk. Starting a thread complaining of a tummy wummy upset isn't going to help maintain that image. Flu's and colds are for big girls.

    Last time Pighead complained of pain was that time back in 93 when he severed his main artery in a war accident. Tough times.

    Good luck with your gout, sore tummy, flu and pain in the arse.

    Ah but mairt is tough with a sensitive side, like arnie in kindergarten cop.

    I've been a bit sniffly of late, was going to start a thread about it but beaten to the post!

    Gout? Really? I didn't think that was even real. I thought people just made that up to slag off people who drink too much brandy and eat too many chocolate caterpillars!

    Gout?
    Been hanging around with a certain Leixlip publican?


    I'm into day five of this flu thing, but it's clearing up.
    The pains are gone, but the cough is still there. Not nearly as bad as it was though. I actually coughed so hard the other night, that I threw up the entire contents of my stomach (mostly water, because I couldn't eat).

    Probably would have cleared quicker if I hadn't kept up my 40 a day cigarette habit.

    Maybe it's a tumor?

    It's not a tumor.

    Could be worse mate. Katie French is in her 5th week of being dead with no immediate prospect of improvement, so hey, things could be worse right?

    Hot whiskeys. Half whiskey have hot water. You get very warm, fall asleep and wake up tomorrow after sweating like a pig. You will than feel a lot better.

    I've had this cold/flu thingie since St Stephen's day. Started out as a slight cough, but got a little worse on New Year's Day. Took yesterday off work, took tonnes of drugs and spent muchos time in bed. Slight improvement today, came into work anyway because I couldn't spend any more time at home sitting on my arse.

    Everyone's gotten because of a longish Chrimbo period - tonnes of late nights, drinking and short sleeps will destroy your immune system.

    I plan to spend much of the weekend doing very little in the hope that I'll be rid by Monday.

    Me has kidney infection! I'm in the worst pain of my life. But it's the first time I've been sick in about 12 years so it's all good!

    Wednesday I was blowing my nose every 5 minutes.
    Yesterday I was bed ridden. Sweating, shivering, aches in the back, dizzy, head felt 10 stone in weight. I thought it was the flu but I was able to watch telly and was out of bed by 11 last night. The flu usually lasts a few days and the last thing I'd want to do is watch TV.
    Didn't go back to bed til 4 this morning and I felt an ear ache coming on. I was getting asleep for 10 minute intervals. A horrible sleep. The ear ache got really bad but the pain killers are doing the job now.

    Well, be glad that its only something minor like the flu or gout. There are much worse things that you could be ill with.

    Me too but at the same time it's impossible to get everyone to believe you when you actually have the flu. Especially your boss.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,658 ✭✭✭old boy

  • Registered Users Posts: 6,175 ✭✭✭Archeron


    Is this the right place for me to point out that two weeks before Christmas, everyone in my job were dying sick and dropping like flies? I decided that I shouldnt miss out on such a germ based holiday bonanza so decided to take two days off myself.
    I spent that time meeting friends and having a great old time. Which was nice.


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,963 ✭✭✭✭Gavin "shels"


    Have had a cold since New Years Day (result of New Years Eve me thinks), been dieing with a head-ache, sore throat, blowing my nose every 10 mins, body all weak, basically in bits.:D Glad I got a new 32" for Christmas for my bedroom:p


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,331 ✭✭✭✭bronte


    Had that nasty cold over christmas...couldn't eat anything without it coming back up:o still coughing a bit now but tis nearly over I hope!
    Hope you feel better soon all


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators Posts: 7,920 Mod ✭✭✭✭cee_jay


    I have a chest infection for my sins (have stayed in only 3 nights since 21st Dec - knew that it would come back to haunt me).
    Thought I was going to cough up a lung yesterday it was so bad.
    Hoping it clears before Sunday morning because I have to get on a flight home then and don't want to be infecting everyone on the plane, or getting evil looks for spreading germs when I do cough :(

    lol that's awful, awfully good :)

    I've been down with the flu since the 1st. Been sleeping about 16 hours a day since and now I'm starting to feel a bit more normal again. \o/ \o\ /o/

    Still coughing up vileness though.

    When youre a kid there's nothing better than prolonged illness as a means to skive off school and sleep all day. These days it doesn't matter how sick I am, I still have to work. RIght now a few hours sleep and a nice mug of tea.
