Anybody been struck down with the infamous Norovirus??

Jingo... · 12 Jan 2008 at 22:02

As figures suggest over 3 million people have come down with the vomiting-bug this winter I was wondering who here has been affected?

I have felt strong & healthy all winter but after onlya few weeks back at uni I find myself blowing chunks and delivering batch loads of bum-gravy...

Thats me confined to my room for a few days... :mad:

I don't do sick.

Duke · 12 Jan 2008 at 22:05

Nope and hope I don't get it

Just got over a cold & bad throat.

afraser2k · 12 Jan 2008 at 22:05

I only do "man flu". Plenty of that going about at the moment though.

Think i had it over the holidays but no sickness much like the last time i got it so hard to say it was this and not something else food related, just very difficult for me to be sick even when this bug might have hit me.

You must have a terrible job/ strongly dislike your job because I can assure you that my current state of combined puke & parp (often at the same time) is very undesirable...

Try working as IT support and you'll understand.

Nope I just giggled rather a lot at the "bum gravy" line.

No thats whats odd... its terrible, smelly, painful & noisy but i still find it amusing... although my exhausted face can barely smile...

It's a good excuse to get a day off work though. Not many managers want to know the subject of their employee's illness' in these cases.
