Thanks for the comments guys.

Andrew – I totally understand. Whatever you blog about there’s always some other topic you never get round to. Feel free to reference whenever you want.

Tusc – Very true. Thankfully I’ve avoided the ‘man flu’ this year.

Hugo – I think even if people do know the difference human nature is still to assume you have the flu.

I am going to make sure my wife doesn’t read this as when I have a cold it is nearly always Flu! although she calls it man flu :) Great post and about time people new the difference between the two. The amount of times I hear people claiming they have the flu when it’s just a runny nose.

All the best
