Man Flu is real

A new poll has revealed that man flu is a real, tangible condition, suffered by men the world over.

According to the Daily Mirror, men take more time off work than women with colds they think are flu. They also moan more, fork out more on remedies and 82% stay in bed until they feel better.

Prof Ron Eccles of the Common Cold Centre, Cardiff University reports that women get ill more, but take half the time to recover.

He said: "This is because women have more contact with children - normally the main source of infection."
