# me, mainly
I can tell the difference, but flu is so much more dramatic, and garners more attention and time off. And is therefore exponentially better than a measly cold.

# Seconded
The only time I've been off work recently, I got forced to go home by my colleagues due to me having to take regular throwing up breaks.

# Same here.
I had a couple of days off the other week for the first time ever, because I was told I was probably infectious, and they didn't want to give the rest of my department an excuse to take a week off.

# indeed
all these people haveing the flu and time off work, when in reality they are just wimps with a cold.

eat some dirt and build up your immune system.

I still get hayfever though!

# I always used to think that hayfever sufferers were making it up and that it couldn't be as bad as they made out
Then, this summer I developed hayfever. I think it's some sort of divine retribution for all the years I've spent mocking the afflicted.

# I agree,
all these sickly children these days have been bought up in too sterile an environment. Instead of giving out milk, primary schools should make them eat worms.

i ate worms when i was a sprog and it's done me little or no harm...

# I reckon the difference between colds and flu
is that flu is when you've not been at the office ten minutes and your boss hands you your coat and tells you he's going to drive you home, where you are to go to bed and not come in for the rest of the week.

Though the one should be called

"ICBM"

Unless it's a political joke...

# Yes you are right
I did wonder whether it was ICBM or whether Intercontinental actually qualifies as a single word as I have heard IBM used in context to such missiles, they probably have an IBM guidance system as well.
