Watch it Dave, that Windrush is a giant of a man, don’t get the wrong side of him…Unless you are fighting fit.
Cheers Dave.
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.
Fair play Harry I have to agree. Windrush is a young bloke, not an OAP like the rest of us.
Cheers Dave.
I aint THAT young! Sixty four a couple of weeks ago but I have to keep well as folk are relying on me. Talking about flu, I had the flu jab about 15 years ago against my wishes as I had a thumping headache and kept coughing (the nurse said I was OK though and stuck the needle in me!) and within a couple of days I WAS bad. Lost all my strength, kept being sick and just couldn’t get warm. The doctor came and said that I now had a double dose of proper flu and reckoned that I wouldn’t be back at work until March (this was in November) as he said I would be ill for two months and then needed time to regain my strength. Well that was no use, no proper sick pay, so after two weeks I ventured out to get a paper one sunday. As luck would have it some of my workmates were delivering tarmac to the Post Office car park that day so I went and had a word with them…and collapsed! Too weak to stand. After a while resting I got back in my car and made it home, I was off work for a month in the end but it took me a long while to get back to normal. I got stronger walking the dog each day, took a while though. So that was REAL flu, not the sniffles that you lads are ‘dying’ with, thank goodness that women carry on without ever complaining, no matter how poorly they feel, or we would all be in a bad way!
Brian GOM was it you who recommend the "Black Grouse " as I treated my self to a couple of litres as they were on offer and then I succumbed to MAN flu so I have had to use most of one bottle for medicinal purposes to kill the bug and it does seem to have worked and it is also a pleasant drink so thank you
cheers Johnnie

Aye, and if he keeps on chirping like that he’ll be lucky to get out of Yorkshire alive…
And not only that, it seems like I can’t be ill without Mrs GOM wanting to get in on the act, she’s now succumbed to it and is moaning and coughing.
I suspect she just trying to get out of doing her domestic duties.

My god all I did was take a couple of Paracetamol and strepsils and sweat it out of my system. But I went alchofrolic seeing the new year in with my wife, who made me a Irish Coffee with Irish Mist in it, then I filled one glass with it, and another with half inch, I became tipsey. hicup hicup.

Good to see you on here Norm. Glad you survived the festive season, with all the alcohol and other temptations.
Cheers Dave.

Hiya,
Made of granite is our Norm Dave he must be to have done that Middle East job a bit of
Irish did me although I’m forgetting about my driving in Far East venues when a kid.
thanks harry, long retired.
Well, what a jolly afternoon I had yesterday…prostate biopsy Unfortunately I can’t recommend it because it was spectacularly unpleasant.
2/3 weeks wait now for the results.

Hiya,
Well GOM thanks for that I suspect I have that “pleasure” to look forwards too, this being
a fellah’ isn’t all it’s cracked up to be methinks. I’m borderline at the moment regarding
the prostate condition, so at the moment the doc’s keeping an eye on things, I suppose it
could be a canny job for someone with only one eye.
thanks harry, long retired.
I understand that there are people who pay good money at these ■■■■■ big city ■■■ parties to be violated like that. Bloody mad. But, I did manage to do something I’ve never done before…wait for it…wear an item of female sanitary equipment, “just to stop your jeans getting marked Brian” Sweet Jesus, I felt a total prat. Then, when we got home, SHE said, “have I to go on to the pharmacy and buy another packet”…NO YOU BLOODY HAVEN’T.
I’m reminded of the guy who’s getting changed in the Golf Club Locker Room, who is asked by another player, ‘Have you been wearing that girdle since the doctor recommended it, Brian?’
‘No, I’ve been wearing it since the wife found it in the glove compartment of the Jaguar.’
Hiya,
Then there was this guy who found his girlfriend fast asleep due to having attended the works
■■■■-up and having too much to drink so he exchanged her tampon for a party popper Oh’ she
wasn’t best pleased when she went to get showered and changed when she woke up.
thanks harry, long retired
you’re bringing terse to my eyes reading this lot . last year i started peeing blood , so off for a scan . it was a kidney stone so they sent me back for a bladder check . i had to have a camera shoved up the little feller , " we’ll just pop a lubricant in first " hell’s bells i thought they had used battery acid , and then the camera , never again . cheers , dave
rigsby:
perhaps you are more generously endowed dave , camera won’t touch the sides .
Oh yes it does Dave. I shall be an in-patient for a couple of days. The camera person and the dog will be guarding this place. And when they say go. I shall be in my van, and gone, back for home.
Cheers Dave.
jmc jnr:
Blimey! There was me wingeing about my problem. You lot make me want to enter for the London Marathon. Jim.
PS Get well soon and keep us all laughing.
That’s what distinguishes this lot from the “professional drivers” thread Jim, any moaning is done very much with the tongue firmly in the cheek, Problems that really should make your eyes water are passed over as a joke and made light of. Yours being a case in question. I hope the chemo’s proving bearable. Regards Kev.
and then I succumbed to MAN flu so I have had to use most of one bottle for medicinal purposes to kill the bug and it does seem to have worked and it is also a pleasant drink so thank you
Unfortunately I can’t recommend it because it was spectacularly unpleasant. 
i’m just a “snapper” at 53 but gives me hope for some more driving years to come.
