"Have you not heard of Lemsip?"

While this is close, I have not dialed 999 or 911. I'm just laid there and moaned, as men do.

I have launched right into wheeze mode with the laughter.

Oh my hell, that was so...so...realistic!

That is every boy I have ever known, particularly the ones whose mothers took WAY too much care of them as a young adult.

Walk it off. Walk it off.

Nice. When my husband has a cold he is quite the opposite. He usually paces around constantly taking every kind of medicine he can get his hands on and shaking pill bottles and complaining very loudly, seeing how loudly he can hork snot while standing an inch away from me, talking about politics more than usual, and clearing his throat impatiently every 30 seconds.
I think I would prefer what is depicted in this video.

Aaaah! This is my house at winter, too! This could only be more accurate if perhaps there were reqests for juice at a *specific* temperature, repeated trips to the drugstore for the *right* medicine ('cos the last 8 were WRONG, wrong meaning deadly, by the look of the reaction), and all missives being punctuated by the loudest nose-blowing I've ever in my life heard.
Thanks for passing it along.

as it should be... as. it. should. be.

This is exactly true and is happening to me as we speak, except we have the added bonus of Baby Cold. Fun times for Mom!

My boss and I discuss this phenomenon often. Amazing that they all act the same, even over seas!

I love that actor and the movies he's in, this is just another notch in his Belt of Awesome

I rarely get sick but when I do it's always a major emergency. The whole world around me knows I'm sick and I expect both their undivided attention and total peace and quite and the same time.

What's Lemsip? Anyone?

i ignored this 'mancold' until he got one last year, after the baby was born. i felt bad for him because the baby was getting all the attention. i caved and made him a sandwich. BAD MOVE. don't let it happen to you. ignore it and it will go away faster.

HA! Oh, Nick Frost reduces me to helpless giggles every. time. Also, poor poor Heather.

Seriously. All. Men. Do This. It makes my skin crawl and stuff. Fuck why can't I have a bell!??

"Poor Bunny...Poor Bunny..."
