My mrs works in an infant school.
Every winter she picks up whatever's being spread by the disease ridden little rug rats
and brings it back home to infect me.

This winter I had a bad cold and chest infection for 2 weeks before xmas...
.. and now I've got something very similar again but with the added bonus of treacherously disordered bowels...!!!

I actually decided to get a flu jab last week, but when I got to the pharmacy at the time they told me to drop in,
i was told they'd run out compleely
and wouldn't be getting any more stock this winter.
The same shortage applying to all other pharmacies in town as they all use the samwe supplier....
