The world NEEDS heroes.

Go to work.

I rang to cancel an appointment on Thursday with a client I was due to see on Friday, as I could hardly speak.

He sounded massively unimpressed - even though it was obvious I was ill.

The moral I think is that I should have gone and given his staff flu in time for Christmas.....

No ones that important, take the day off or at least don't sit next to me in work and cough your plague onto me!

I'm very much aware of my importance at work. I ALWAYS go in and share the germs.

Man-up.

Lemsip made with half a cup of whiskey. You'll either feel better or not care about ya sore throat

Actually, a double the recommended dose of Night Nurse works wonders. You wake up not knowing what day it is, and a bit confused, but it does at least put you out for the night. Trust me on this one, I've used it on many occasions.

VimFuego

but what about when you're ill?

chillidoggy

I've no idea. I just used to use it for a decent night's sleep.

PolarityMan

I could work from home if I had to but not an option to not work as we're massively behind on a major deliverable that needs to be out by end of the year. Unfortunately the buck stops with me too so it's not even like I can pull a sickie, if it doesn;t get done it's my ass that'll get dragged across the coals by the business.

^ It sounds (to use a Fry and Laurie-ism) as though you need to 'put Uttoxeter on the God-damned map'.

You should go in....

PolarityMan

I'll probably go in.

richardhomer

Good man!

Have tea with a little honey in it (instead of sugar).

LastMantra

Take some meds and get a good rest. You never know you might feel better in the morning.

All else fails get some lozenges and strong pain killers and numb the crap out of it.

Good luck anyway.

Are you Gary Lineker? (I've just flicked over to the BBC Sports Personality)

heh, I work in a hospital and when a doc takes ill I've had to phone patients to cancel appointments and some of them are outraged beyond belief.

There MUST be someone else knocking around that can don a rubber glove and shove a random finger up an arse? Surely? I realise lobbing some lube on is another skill set entirely, but come on.
