Oh, don't talk to me about fecking man flu. My dad's got it now - he's moping about, feeling sorry for himself, managed to drag himself to the sofa from his bed in his PJs and dressing gown (haven't seen him so attired since I was about 10) and won't stop bloody whinging about how ill he is whilst constantly affecting a hang dog "I'm dying, breathing my last breath" expression. On asking if he had man flu he got the right dog

You should really be in Hospital.
A ward just for blokes with Man Flu - preferably an isolation unit so that the rest of us don't have to suffer too!
Seriously though - alternate paracetamol with ibuprofen (if you can tolerate aspirin) and plenty of fluids, preferably water, or coffee and tea without milk. You can even have a curry, 'cos they open the airways and clear the sinuses - and you might just make it to Christmas.

A hefty spoonfall of manuka honey with a wedge of lemon and some boiling water added is pretty good. Olbas oil on the pillow at night.
At it's peak though, it's awful, I thought I was going to collape on Tuesday!
