+1. That 'touch of flu' drives me mad....anyone who has ever had flu knows as OP has said 'if you had the flu you would know all about it'!..and you can just take your hands back down again 90% of you.
God this annoys me.
"I missed work last Friday - ah I had a touch of the flu"
For a start, you didn't have "a touch of" anything - you either had it or you didn't. But mainly, YOU DID NOT HAVE THE FLU - YOU HAD A COLD!!
If you had the flu you would know all about it.
Don't forget the crowd who say "I have a bad cold, better not go to work in case I spread my cold to others through the air conditioning system". There is no scientific evidence to suggest that germs can be spread by air con systems. Just because it's in Cosmopolitan magazine or the Sunday Worst doesn't make it scientific evidence.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9749975we found the sick building symptoms to be present in a group of French office workers exposed to air-conditioning.
Dr. Dan Teculescu of the European Respiratory Society led a study in 1997 of 770 office staff in both air conditioned and naturally cooled buildings. He found that those in air-conditioned work environments were 2.5 times more likely to suffer frequent respiratory infections than those who breathed fresh air every day.

If you can get out of bed to get them you have a cold, if you can't you have the flu
I hate big girls blouses who call in sick over a little thing like a fluI had the flu, a chest and throat infection that lasted about a month a few years back. Talk about a struggle getting out of the bed every morning. Some of the stuff that came out of my chest, jaysus. And other places. But enough info Butt it didn't stop me going to work.
.
I hate inconsiderate people who come into work dying with chest infections etc. Not only are you spreading your germs everywhere, you're also far more likely to make mistakes or have an accident if using machinery.
I did have aches and pains.
I had pains in my limbs.
I was hot.
both eyes were watering.
I was sneezing.
coughing up phlegm.
and generally feeling poorly.
I had no appetite but again I havent a clue if it was a cold or the flu.
Maybe the experts here can tell me.
No Banker, it was not the flu. I think you just watched The Front Line Monday night that the symptoms occurred two night later. You should soon be over it.
Im over it now.. Like I said, I dont know if it was the flu or a cold and to be honest I dont really case.
I was sick, I stayed at home.
