Oh for goodness sake ‘man up’ the pair of you!No need to fake an illness nowadays, you aint got any work to get out of going to, no sicknote to forge so you might just as well get on with life and stop feeling sorry for yourselves. What are you, men or mice■■?
Pete.
Steady on Pete, don’t start sympathising with them. You will turn them into malingerers. 
Cheers Dave.
definitely mouse in my case . bugger struggling manfully on through it , done enough of that at work . we older people have to coddle ourselves and try to eke out a few more years on our bountiful pensions . it’s coming to you two unsympathetic youngsters , sooner than you think . dave sniffles .
Pete and Dave You belong on the BAH HUMBUG forum. The only way we men can drive fear into women… Is by being mice. Simples! Jim.

They are definitely frightened of mice Jim. I have one here that is terrified of them.

I’ll tell you what I am…I’m very ill, I’ve got the worst cough and cold ever recorded and I expected a bit of sympathy. Nobody cares. 
that is the point of my postings brian , us poor old souls suffering the torments of the damned might expect a little sympathy from the younger members , but all we get is insults , no sign of sympathy . rest assured , you have my sympathy as a fellow sufferer . get well soon and keep taking the golden medication . if it doesn’t cure it you won’t feel the pain as bad . yours snifflingly , dave
thank you for your kind thoughts. The Laphroaig wouldn’t kill it so tonight it gets the full treatment from Bushmills.

Of course we care!
If you’re looking for sympathy, try the dictionary - it’s between sh** and syphilis

Hiya,
Well “Riggers” and “GOM” at least as another elderly gentleman I can sympathise with you,
as a sufferer of the dreadful “man flu” which incidentally strikes me down several times a
year usually when the decorating is on the cards or the garden needs attention it is heart
breaking to see my good lady having to struggle to do these jobs, why are only us men
stricken this way it isn’t fair.
thanks harry, long retired.
Methinks a member of the fairer ■■■ is being out-manouvered NAY! Hoodwinked.
Well done that man. Welldone. Jim.
Oh dear & I though you lot were really ill like my 17mth old granddaughter who has the horrid cold & is teething at the same time so very under the weather for her ( wont tell you all the symptoms might put you off )

Steady Ang, you might frighten some of these lot. They could be teething as well.
Cheers Dave.

I still got some Dave, but as soon as they start to twinge, I’m off to Doc Holiday to pull them out. Have been told I can save that, to which I reply, pull it out. I think fillings are a waste of time.
Cheers Dave.
Sorry to hear about the little one Anj, no sleep for her mother I’ll bet.
the good news is I’m mended a bit this morning and as a service to my fellows I have a “cure all”…500mg capsules of Amoxicillin mixed with copious amounts of Bushmills whiskey. 
“haven’t you had enough of that whiskey”?..“Shut up woman, I’m ill”
All ‘Hale and Hearty’ here! Away in the caravan for a week in North Yorkshire, unless the flood waters in the area rise even higher of course! Glad to hear that all the wimps are on the mend, probably just the hangover’s from Christmas and New Year wearing off I reckon. Still you have another 362 days of the year left to invent some new ailment’s to try and gain sympathy from your loved ones.
Pete.

Hiya,
Giant of a man Eh’ a good dose of man-flu, I’m talking real man-flu here like what we get
will bring him down to size with a bump and then he might just realize the sacrifices we
go to to try and help you youngsters get a better deal from the ladies in your lives, we do
need a lot of pampering when under the weather and we can do without you cheeky young
whippersnappers trying to throw a spanner into something that we have got running well.
thanks harry, long retired.
