Right, following the advice of the doc I've drunk plenty of fluids and had a nap
What do you recommend for colds/manflu?
Old wives tales, home remedies, actual science... Lay it on me.

"Manflu" is a word used as a tool of psychological oppression by a gender too spiteful and weak to oppress in more honest ways.
If you're ill, you're ill. If you're not, stop skiving.

I couldn't agree more
Women are better at dealing with illness, women can multi-task, women are emotionally stronger.
Have you ever heard a man say these things? No. It's because it's bollocks.

Same here.

See, I tend to think that fever and phlegm are the body actually fighting the illness
so therefore anything that lowers your temperature or stops the phlegm is just going to make you ill longer. Not sure if that's true though.

You're a massive whoopsy cunt for going to the doctor with a cold.
Half a bottle of scotch and a dab of speed will see you right in no time.

I took the advice from an earlier thread, re Angel Delight. The strawberry is good, but the butterscotch is better. Sponge fingers too, living the life.
