I had the flu a few days ago ,and I tell ya,you would be too sick to go on boards.no joke

Its the black lung Pop...

Drives me mad when people say they have the 'flu and they're functioning perfectly well, albeit with a rosy nose.

When you can't lie down, sit up, walk, sleep, talk, eat, drink or watch tv.. then you may have the 'flu.

How to tell if you have the flu.

If you you have a cold , and you notice someone has left a 50 euro note in your back garden , you struggle out and get it.

If you have the flu , you can't even face going out to get that.

9times out of 10 people have a cold , I can only ever remember have the flu once in my life , and TBH I didn't leave my bed for 48hrs except for to struggle to the toilet.

No-one gets over the flu in a few days.

davet82 · 25-01-2013 02:36PM

because irish people love to over exagerate e.g i'm dying (hung-over), i'm starving (peckish), i have the black lung (tickley cough)

If someone is able to tell you they have flu then they have the cold

MurdyWurdy · 25-01-2013 02:43PM

People telling me they have the flu when it's just a cold drive me absolutely mad. My husband got flu when the whole swine flu epidemic was big a few years ago. He lay in bed not moving for almost two weeks and it took another 2/3 weeks before he was right.

It's the same when people talk about getting the flu jab, I've heard people say I didn't get the flu last year so it's not worth me getting. Eh, real flu is a serious illness not an annual thing you get in the winter that you get over after a day or two.

When my husband had flu it turned out to be normal flu, not swine flu. Luckily I'd had the flu jab that year (at the time swine flu was new and not covered by the vaccination) and didn't get sick so I swear by it now, get it every year. I don't know what we would have done if both of us were laid out with it. It's a nasty, nasty thing.

gimli2112 · 25-01-2013 02:49PM

Have had the flu twice. It's just fcukin painful all over.

Scientists have now proved it's a less severe form of man flu which thankfully I've never had.

What's htfu? Internet confuses me sometimes.

Rasmus · 25-01-2013 02:55PM

Another funny term is 'fluey', as in 'feeling fluey' at work. So do they mean they are delirious with fever, aching all over, unable to make sense of normal coversation? If you have the flu, you can barely make it to the bathroom let alone outside of the house. You also wouldn't give a crap about that 50 in the garden, because it looks like a crisp bag to you.

IK09 · 25-01-2013 03:10PM

ive the flu

ScumLord · 25-01-2013 03:23PM

I don't think I've ever had the flu. Even the colds I get aren't that bad.

a fat guy · 25-01-2013 03:57PM

I've had it twice I think, and I honestly would have preferred to just go to school at the time.

It was absolutely horrible, I couldn't do eat, sweat so much that the sheets had to be changed on a daily basis, couldn't eat anything and I got so skinny that you could clearly see my stomach muscles.

I looked totally ripped, but I'd never do it again.

TeddyTedson · 25-01-2013 04:16PM

I get the flu a couple of times a year. Sometimes Im able to shake it off before it really kicks in. Luckily enough I've never once had a cold though.

About three weeks to completely shake the drained feeling you get after a flu but your temperature peaks after a few days. I work in a chemist and we always get people saying theyve the flu when clearly they dont, if they did they wouldnt be in the shop

klose · 25-01-2013 10:40PM

I got the flu for the first time ever last winter, thought i was gonna fcuking die.

mark renton · 25-01-2013 10:41PM

I once died from the flu, just as well Im as tough as coffin nails or I wouldnt have made it back.

Let me guess, is your anniversary sept 23rd 1989? :pac:

frozenfrozen · 25-01-2013 10:50PM

i had the flu for my two weeks of holidays over christmas. Didn't get up on christmas day... and left the house probably at most twice over those two weeks. Starting to feel my throat closing up a little so I hope I don't have any sort of cold flu or cough coming my way, especially after having the flu so recently
