There is now no doubt about it

I have double, treble Freemasons Swine Flu ( the most lethal variety ).

I probably only have a few hours left

I’m being a very brave soldier

I may never play the piano in the marching band again

Please provide sympathy – I’m getting none from a very insensitive wife.

The light is fading

The drums have been muffled

Straw has been spread on the streets

A day of national mourning will be declared

Atishooooooooooooooooooooooo !

I would be happy if I had swine flu. Imagine getting the flu and finding out it was the ordinary kind? Totally sucky.

But I do make a very, very good chicken soup. *hands you some*

I read that 'swine' flu is a gross misnomer. H1N1, I understand is pronounced 'heinie'.

Now that we have had it in this house (at least I think we've had it...It could have been something else) I'll send you a bit of sympathy.
And some Vitamin D
And some homeopathic remedies (Nux is a good one but PQ took Aconite, but Belladona may work too)
And some Garlic and Elderberry syrup and some Echinecea
And a new pillow (to use after you are no longer contagious)
And a new toothbrush (because you are supposed to)
And some hot drinks for the sore throat
And some salt water to gargle with.

My littlest granddaughter (just under 2) had Swine Flu a couple of weeks ago. She was really quite poorly for a few days but she made a rapid recovery.

I have to say Fr. Gruesome, your offer to do the honors at the burial is much more interesting than some other posters questions about what plans the nearly-departed has for their worldly belongings.

So Alan, can I have your stereo?

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what Alan's doing, in the traditional fashion. Very Happy

If you have ever walked over Battersea bridge you have seen the Thames in all it's glory.

Compared to the snot that's coming out of my nostrils the Thames is little more than a dried up stream Crying or Very sad

Oh death where is thy sting ? Cold grave, thy victory ? Crying or Very sad Mad Crying or Very sad

How rude to hit you on the weekend. How are you atm?

I do hope you wash your hands before you type though.

Just in case, I put on gloves before entering this thread.

I thought the mexican one was of the coughing variant? Not that a runny nose isn't a bother squared.

At least you're taking it like any man would.

I’m still walking through the valley of the shadow of death.

Under normal circumstances I would not have come into work today.

Unfortunately our new German owners are going to announce who will be staying and who will be going at the end of November / beginning of December.

We all suspect that they have made their minds up but ( as we know they have gone through the sickness statistics very carefully ) nobody is going sick under any circumstances at the moment.

Therefore I am going to infect the whole damn lower floor of the company headquarters.

I just wish they’d get it over with and tell us Confused

Ah nice. No policy on keeping confirmed cases with infectious diseases of the work floor eh?

Take care.
