Redwing Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Brilliant! There was a radio ad last year that was a fake newsflash on the 'man flu epidemic' sweeping the country - it was very shortlived so not sure if it was considered offensive and banned...

SarahJo Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Feel a little guilty - as OH said he had Flu and I did not pay too much notice, till he emerged from his sick bed and took his temperature, then asked if 103.7 was normal Personally, reckon its a dose of swine flu as not eating or moving - and works at the airport Have gone to work to escape the germs - might take some Biohazard tape home and quarantine him in the bedroom.

CatieB Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I've just shown it to DH who laughed. But I'm now wondering about the gender roles in our house, hubby always says I'm a bloke and he has man flu today and has just had a lemsip. He is up and functioning relatively normally.

bluekarin Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Love it! I've seen it before, still kills me though. And it is so true! edited to add I love the Boots ad that's been on the telly with the two women out doing all the shopping while poor poor hubby is home in bed with man flu. Bless!

Seagazer Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I love it. I have to say that my OH is a brave soldier and I've only ever known him to take to his bed once with proper flu. My ES on the other hand thinks he has flu every time he gets a sniffle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majorbloodnock Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Interestingly enough, it's not what the research says.... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8588686.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8584675.stm (the last three paragraphs are particularly telling) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majorbloodnock Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Well, they would say that wouldn't they (the men that conducted the research) . Only if that's what the research was telling them; no scientist worth their salt would do otherwise. Are you suggesting women wouldn't look at the results objectively?

majorbloodnock Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 What I'm more concerned about, though, is the rather more serious epidemic (common around this time of year) of beer flu. Personally, I've never been able to taste any difference between the acceptable crisps and the dodgy one that reacts with liquid refreshment and makes one ill the next day. I've even contemplated avoiding crisps altogether. Or am I barking up the wrong tree? Perhaps its a chemical in the washing up liquid residue on the glass. Any thoughts anyone?
