[Gusto Brunt]

It was bl**dy awful. And I think my brother gave it to me, but he denies it.

He came over to where I live and he was sniffling and blowing his nose. I said 'cold alert!' And I put my hand over my mouth.

He said, 'no it's hay fever'.

But it wasn't. And that night I got sweaty, and my nose started to run.

Then I started coughing during the night and in the morning I felt exhausted. Coughing my guts up, sneezing, sore throat and nose running.

Luckily I work from home so I managed to do something but not a lot.

The house food and drink went down so had to order some in, £5 delivery fee on Sunday! Total cost £55.

But feeling better now. Sir Elton John has my sympathy.

[waterhog]

gusto - you are a solider - you will be victorious - just think poetry

sniff sniff out the nose
coff coff through the teeth
spread share and expose
hope you was not sunbaking nude on heath.
gusto are you feeling better
I have to be blunt
poem reply with a beautiful letter
then on form will be the brunt.

Haha, Waterhog.

So I was ill
No need for a will
Had a cough and splutter
Felt like I was in the gutter
Nose ran like a race
Cold was on my case.
Now I am well
No longer in the cold cell
Smile of my face
The cold I did chase.

And not a disgrace.

I heard on the radio last week that it's a good thing that women go through labour and chilbirth because it gives them some idea of what men go through when they get a cold.

Yeah women are tougher than men. I mean, that once a month thing would kill me.

Never trust anything that bleeds for a week and doesn't die.
