I think it varies from year to year. I have a feeling the jab is based on a attenuated virus and so it will always have some side-effects as it stimulates an immune response. But hopefully the side effects are less than the effects of full blown flu

See that's what I thought. However I was told by a know it all ex friend of mine that when I felt grotty after mine last year that it was all in my head!

Very sensible . If it's flu , then it's very important to rest during and equally importantly afterwards when you start to feel better , otherwise recovery might take longer .
Hope you feel better soon !

Thank you. If you are suggesting that I put my feet up and let Lu satisfy my every need then I'm up for that.

Please can you video her reaction when you tell her you would like her to satisfy your every need? I feel guffaws of laughter coming on.....

Manflu update: the snot has subsided, just left with a cough, tiredness and aching joints now. The worst bit is when I cough it causes a horrible pressure pain in my head.

Stop laughing @potsy.

Sounds more like man flu now, back to work slacker

I had my flu jab the other week and had no ill effects, the nurse did say I might get a slight feeling of a cold but nothing happened.

I think the kebabs killed off any infection

No, every now and again it seems to have some symptoms, but only slight effects, enough to make you feel a bit low for a few days.

Quite foggy and dark here, time to go and start some busses.

"To use, or not to use the toll road"

Definitely use it, the M6 west of Brum is a mess. Also the toilets on the Toll are much nicer if you need a bladder break.

Can I confess and say I have never been on the toll road!

I must admit, I do Iike a nice toilet.....

I don't know, last time I did that there was a massive queue made up of several coaches full of Palace fans on their way north. Lovely people obviously but the wait was not welcome.

I remember once walking in to a service station and seeing a huge queue for the women's toilets, I was young and a damn sight braver then, so I just waltzed into the mens and used a cubicle. Those were the brazen days!

I am leaning towards the toll road, can you pay on the road or is it like the Dartford crossing and you have to pay online?

There are toll booths, if I remember you can just touch your debit card.

Just asked the wife what parkin was like. She said "at Argos?"

Mind she'd been looking up heaters as our boiler has gone into no co-op mode.

What's a debit card?
Don't think we have those up north.

Before I became an eccentric hermit I would always use the toll road when travelling that way, so much better than the alternative even if I did detest paying that amount of money to do so.

These days it's not a problem as I try not to leave Mancland
