    cheers for that :rolleyes::p

    However........ I know full well I caught it from the person who sits about 4 feet away from me at work. She started with a sore throat, then had 2 days off sick, came back with a hacking cough. Think she was very generous with her germs!!

    u think thats bad? lol (my rant wasnt directed at u btw)

    person at work 4ft away from me spent about 3 weeks complaining of feeling ill, so much so that she made herself ill.

    its like 28degrees in my office, i open the window and EVERY freakin time shes all "ew its so cold" - then "pretends" to shiver and puts her jacket on, closes the damn window.

    arg!!! never happy medium!

    if you young, old, infirm then they do a flu vaccination,

    There is no vaccine. And there is a big question mark over flu vaccinations in terms of the same amount of people are still dying of flu every year, despite everyone and their dog being vaccinated.

    otherwise, the *only* way to beat any flu or cold is proper hygine - wash the hands regularly, blow nose with tissues and dispose.

    Dispose of them by making a little "Voodoo doll" of the office flu-sufferer - and then set it on fire...

    but yeah, you're all right, something is "spreading" through the population and we're only noticing because its more in the media than the common cold.

    And various vomitting bugs and all the rest. There's *always* something spreading...

    couple days good bed rest does the world of good, but its the people who go into work / school when they know they are ill are the irresponsible carriers and spreaders of this disease.

    Well they usually cave into pressure from managers who believe if they can't see you suffering, then you're skiving.

    And you didn't take the opportunity to tell her how bad she looked and how there was a bug going round that would cause her to projectile vomit and for her head to spin 360 degrees?

    You angel!
