QUARANTINE: Contagious Disease Alert!

You'll be pleased to hear that according to his status on Saturday evening, he made a miraculous, full and speedy recovery. How did his status go now ... ? Oh yes ... 'Out with the boys for Seb's stag since ten o'clock this morning. Fifteen pints and still standing.' His location was pinned as Edinburgh (three hundred plus miles from his home) and he was tagged into an interesting photo too (large-breasted blonde wearing a skirt as wide as a belt).

I'm looking forward to an interesting conversation with him on Tuesday and it won't be about the dangers of updating your social networking site status when you're rat-arsed :-

Is women's lack of sympathy toward male ailments justified ?
When 10 years of age i complained to my mother that I had a very bad belly ache and didn't want to go to school,she packed me off telling me,not to be so silly. Upon collapsing at school it was discovered I had a burst appendix and was rushed to hospital.
On the other hand, a late aunt of mine was sent over to France shortly after D Day, to set up a field hospital. An SS officer was brought in screaming for morphine.She took a look and found he had been winged in the leg so,drawing herself up to her full five feet nothing and using her best fractured German, she told him to shut up and stop being such a big baby.

Ladies, you just don't understand, we need to be mothered back to full health embraced in the buxom fullness of your of your tender affections and a cold flannel dabbed on out forehead, now and then. Then we can face anything, including a stag night, nothing would daunt us!

Luv2 i can understand you feeling peeved and rightly so.....
But i have to say i know only too well how much fun a night out in Scotlands Capital City can be.

Luv2---I simply can't believe your level of insensitivity. Manflu is far worse than childbirth, it's a well documented fact. And everyone knows that men bounce back so very quickly from it, their being so wonderfully strong and all.

Stargirl,

In a quintessential British parliament style of a back bench party whip!

'Hear hear!'

You fool Stargirl, I 'was' one of the strippers! Lol!

SG, when I was young, rule breaking was against the rules BIG time. I've been conditioned :-( So I can honestly say that I have never pulled a sickie without good reason.

I was in hospital after an accident last November and had two miserable months off work. Some days, if I felt ok, I was able to do some work at home, but other than that, it was torture! Before that, I had a week off a couple of years go with septic tonsillitis which was nasty.

I go to bed at silly o'clock so I can drag my ass out of bed at dark thirty and drive over an hour to my craptastic job, where I work my ass off during a 10 hour day powered solely on coffee and malted milks. I come home, never cook for my family and never stay awake long enough to watch recorded episodes of Emmerdale before dragging myself to bed. I stay there until the entire process starts again the next day. I don't have time to be off sick, but that's ok, I'm female; it's kind of expected, isn't it? Is it too much to expect that level of commitment from someone you trusted enough to give a job to?

Oh, I almost forgot, I'm even capable of working for four days out of every month when the devil and his pals do a tango inside my uterus.

I need to lighten up, don't I?

On second thoughts, I may consider pulling a sickie to watch MYS do his strip act. Do you use a pole MYS?

Hmm Star as a rule male strippers dont't quite float my boat as i much prefer to see men in their full glory rather than a semi state ;-) Although i have from time to time made an exception to that rule........

SOoo MYS do you have Hot Chocolate? When should we expect to see the results of your Full Monty photo shoot?

Stargirl, I was the one dressed as a workman. Overalls, hard hat, tool belt! In fairness I'd gone to hang a couple of doors, and fit a new window, but took a wrong turn and ended up on stage! 'When in Rome!' img src="imagesadultemoticons026.gif" img src="imagesadultemoticons026.gif"

Confession time: I was supposed to be at work 24 minutes ago. No, I'm not sick (what's that???), I overslept and decided that if i'm going to do this, I might as well do it well. So I'm here while waking up with my coffee instead of on a bus to do my thing.

Will I now get spanked?

Tsk

Pass him over here Luv2 and let me try a little riggermagic on him. Notwithstanding a previous blog entry it may well involve an invitation to "pick up the log" and because he is a bit of a sniveley and I have done lots of man management shite I might add "remember the log is your friend" to make him feel a little better.

Thereafter I will relieve him (I think that's the right expression) of the pneumatic blond (my experience is that they contain small parts that may injure children) and invite him to consider the error of his ways with lecture of what is expected of him as a chap of the species.

Anyway I worked most of the weekend. Soon though I will be a'travellin and looking for trouble....

EG, Ealish is queuing patiently to deliver your punishment.


As for 'pick up your log'; will it be big and heavy enough to cause seriously bodily harm if I hit him with it?
I have the week off, but went in to the office to see him early this morning . He wasn't there (surprise, surprise). I got a text that read "Still no better. Need to go back to docs as think need antibiotics. Hope to be back tomorrow"

... what planet am I on?


Is it a 'man thing'?

How many employment law regs would be broken if he was dismissed (or at least disciplined) on the grounds of being a man AND a dick?

Really? That's disappointing!
I'm sure I'll think of something suitable.
Any ideas?

I paddle coming up EG, now touch your toes like a good girl should lol

Ok on a serious note he could be very ill indeed and I think that it is important to understand that he may have been a little hero in managing to stagger in and sleep as he has done rather than crawling off somewhere and dying quietly. Obviously there have been tiny windows of relief from the suffering (a window just big enough for 15 pints and a bint with memorable top bits) but that would have been the exception not the norm.

I think that we should all give him some slack and we could do worse than to nurse him and encourage him whilst at the same time ensuring that the little work that does get passed his way should be gentle and meaningless in the great scheme of things - colleagues will am sure be keen and happy to shoulder the load.

Alternatively a quiet word to the wise along the lines of that he may feel that it is appropriate to swing the lead but the reality is that he is a malingering little fecker who needs to understand that even if he thinks his malady is going to kill him he is going to die anyway and better to do so in a blasé od selfless glory rather than miserable selfishness. Give him a double strength lemsip and tell him that if the in-tray isn't cleared by hometime you will be posing his photo on the office Wall of Shame (you do have a Wall of Shame I hope?)

I told you I knew man management didn't I?

That said a mate of mine years ago felt he was coming down with manflu so he wrapped himself up, including his waterproofs, took some paracetomol and, intending to sweat it out, set off up some welsh mountains at high speed.

He was later found, casevaced to hospital where he had a number of days just this side of oblivion as he in fact had meningitis...

You all completely missed the point here!?! He obviously just got to the stage where he "thought" he was well enough for the stag do.. All that alcohol though, sent him into relapse! His immune system hadn't properly recovered, and the beer just wiped it out... Poor misunderstood lad!

Exactly, a poor misunderstood lad.
It just so happens that I am off today a with cold haha

It seems that the site is now using old blogs from The Golden Age to attract site participants. Could this be something akin to TV channels airing "re-runs" ??  🙂
