uh uh, you know what you need to do now, nothing short of a groveling appology will do.

let's try an experiment shall we?

...you hold your breath for my apology, and i'll give your fella a call when you start turning blue...

Man-flu and man-colds are a disease recognised by the WHA, and are not to be taken lightly.

Symptoms include:
1. Inability to do chores around the home
2. Cravings and unusual urges, i.e. the need to watch daytime TV
3. Increased sensitivity in all parts of the body, pain comes easily
4. Chronic fatigue
5. Hangover-like symptoms
6. Character and personality regression, childhood-like behaviour and whimpering


Cures, or workarounds (which can boost activity and alleviate symptoms):
1. TLC from everyone who comes into contact with the sufferer
2. Lots of sympathy
3. Being bought presents, such as new videogames or DVDs to watch during recovery
4. Being invited out by mates
5. Phonecalls from mates
6. Favourite show on TV


Be aware—this is by NO MEANS comparable to women's monthlies... women's monthlies pale in comparison to the stress, pain and long-term damage cause by man-viri.

It should also be noted that men can also suffer post-viri depression, which can often be misinterpreted as 'continuation or prolonging of the symptoms to drag out the sympathy'.

During this period of time, the man may need extra TLC, as the psychological implications of realising the man-viri has nearly gone is vastly more complex than PMT, although symptoms can be the same:

1. Inability to listen/selective hearing
2. A shortened fuse, and lack of patience
3. Environment comforting—i.e. not wanting to leave the house
4. Temporary excessive dislike of spouse/partner's friends
5. Prolonged bouts of self-absorbption

Similarities between man-viri and women's monthlies:

1. Both are messy
2. Suffering for the other party, i.e. spouse/partner/parent
3. Communications breakdowns ('pull yourself together' etc.)
4. Misunderstandings
5. Short temper
6. Fatigue
7. Aches, pains, general discomfort.


So, you've guessed it, I have a bout of man-flu at the mo. Feeling groggy, and need some lurve.

Green and slimey never seemed such an appropriate description....

Ah that explains it all the Seige, please forgive me for my lack of sympathy. There was silly little me just thinking that's how men acted generally. I didn't realise that you're all suffereing from post-viral depression until the next bout of man flu comes around again.

apology accepted Lady of Mystery, glad you've come to your senses...

cares don't get the option of man flu we just have to get on with it like women do with the obligatory bitch and moan of cause.

You know what, you want to leave that job, it's rubbish. Stuff the money, it's not worth it. Come live in Devon, it's fab. If you're salesy, I've know the perfect company for you to work for.

Feeling very green and slimey today. I worked with the council over the summer, but after new year I recieved 3 payslips from them. After enquiring about this last month (me being the honest person I am), they've finally replied to tell me that these payments are an error after some change in the way that payroll was operating. So, I have to pay them back £320.09. I quote "As you had not expected to receive these payments, I'd hope you are in a position torepay the amount in full. If that is the case, please send a cheque payableto Falkirk Council for £320.09.". As a student, I am gutted. This is a very sad day...

Could be a plan.
I think what's most gutting is that I have no point here at all. It wasn't my money, I didn't earn it and if they'd taken £300 odd off me by mistake I'd sure as hell be demanding it back. But, if only I hadn't listened to my mum and just not asked about it...Ah well, at least I'm honest, if rather skint now...
