Swine Flu

Hi all,

Just come on for a whinge. I'm not too well at the moment, :crying: I have a really bad throat, very sore and irritated with a tickly cough, however what is irritating me even more are my colleagues who have taken it upon themslves to diagnose me with swine flu! :glare:

I have checked on the NHS site using their 'check your symptons' tool and as I expected their diagnosis is I have a common (:ohmy: the cheek of it) cold!

I am in my own office, being very careful to cough into a tissue which I dispose of thoughtfully so am doing my best to greatly reduce the chance of them catching my common cold. Am stuck between a rock and a hard place, if I don't come into work my boss will moan and groan about it for the next 3 months, and because I'm in work all my colleagues are moaning that they're gonna die of swine flu! :mad2::mad2:

Might go and run amok around the offices and warehouse and breath on everyone :lol::lol:

    Bit off topic, but that has got to be the worst smiley available. I don't know what it means. I know it's supposed to be 'bored' but it just looks like a bloke with no eyes.

    Weird

    :laugh: Yes it represents bored, not a very good interpretation I know. I'm just so bored with them, they're not happy unless they have something to moan about.

    My wife's a student nurse currently on placement, so is likely to be one of the first to get the vaccine. All very well, but she'll be the only one in our house of 7 not to get it. :lol:

    I was distinctly less than impressed when I heard that hamthrax was one of these gastric types. A week of being unable to do much more than wave a remote around I can handle. Don't fancy the vomiting and diarrhoea much.

    Sounds like someone is in serious need of a "there, there" and a lemsip or a hot toddy.

    I bet you say that to all the guys :ohmy:


    But, I do think AK has come up with a good way of avoiding swine flu. Instead of Tamiflu tablets, the NHS should just hand out gimp suits to the public! No one would get close enough to another person to catch it. Genius!

    I'll ask my coleagues which they prefer, I stay home or wear a gimp suit :laugh: Maybe they could vote on it.
