TheBrammies will become famous soon enough
it could be siberian man flu that he has which means he should have total rest and only move to go to the toilet and his wife should wait on him hand and foot and appear to be caring lol

I wonder why all men get the 'FLU' and women just get 'Colds', tell him it's just a cold Gizmo and if it was the flu he wouldn't be sneezing and coughing, he would be aching all over, no appetite, shivering and generally feeling like ????
LOL

Ask him if there was $20 lying at the bottom of the drive would he go and get it, if yes, he's got a cold. If he REALLY had flu, he wouldn't give a sh1t if there was $100 there!

Hi
And how come when your fella has 'flu' (man-speak for a cold) we women feel compelled to ask them how they feel/if they need anything every 5 minutes but if we get it no-one ever asks how we are????

Gosh, maybe we doubted the poor man in the wrong, if there was £20 at the bottom of my drive, you wouldn't see me for dust!

I think you PIO ladies are being grossly unfair to us blokes. It seems obvious to any self respecting man on this site that we are completely and totally misunderstood.

Yes, there is such a thing as manflu. It really does exist. We are built differently to you, we have differing pain thresholds and it is a well known fact that men suffer much more than women. Just because we can't have babies it is wrongly assumed that we are wimpish.

Come on blokes what do you think

Hi Ian
Of course we women know you suffer far more than us how could we not when you tell us how bad you're feeling every 5 minutes!
Just kidding!
