Severus Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I have proper man flu and am missing my first day at work in a good few years. Been in bed since Sunday morning and still can barely move. I've been up since 4am because every time I fall asleep I cough and feel like I'm going to rip out my lungs. I blame it on the small asian lady sitting next to me on the tube on Friday afternoon coughing and spluttering away. Yet another reason why I hate the tube. So... I'm feeling decidedly sorry for myself and am bloody annoyed that I have wasted a bank holiday weekend being sick. That is what is so annoying about man flu. Whilst the female of the species can catch and spread the disease they do not suffer the full symptoms. Fides invicta triumphat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haloman Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 One more week and then I start on my journey home, via Jalalabad, Bagram and Kabul. And there's a bottle of fizzy white in Dubai International with my name on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst the female of the species can catch and spread the disease they do not suffer the full symptoms. I'm now alternating between freezing and sweating like a stuck pig and can barely open this bloody laptop to type. My wife says I can't be that ill if I can sit reading this site for half the afternoon... I'll remember that the next time she whines about a few trivial menstrual cramps...

Haloman Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I've managed to scrounge a suitable rubbish bin for my room (actually a very small plywood partitioned space, if I'm being strictly accurate). It's an old .50 cal ammo box with the lid missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedford Roughyed Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Sat in redwoods national park watching 2 black bears in the campsite. With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckn Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I've just attended an incident management meeting about a major network outage that occurred this morning. Apparently I'm the first project manager in many years to attend one of these. Some of the looks I got would not have been out of place in Royston Vasey*. * The fictional town, not the chubby comedian.
