I'm guessing you have the constitution of an ox though
You don't seem to the the "I've got a cold, oh woe is me" type

I'm not quite sure here but I think I've just been insulted.

It wasn't an insult!
You laugh in the face of the common cold

my brothers and i and all my mother's family were born in halifax
safely on the right side of the border. my dad, who was born in tod....... his rose is definitely pink, if not red.

he gets so utterly irate when you cast aspersions on his yorkshire heritage that tod-baiting has become an instinctive reflex.
