I know you can die from flu if 'fragile'. People normally get colds.

Flu is the mega bad one where you almost die. Literally.
A cold is just the normal runny nose, sometimes headaches, cough, sore throat, etc.
Ah. So 99% of people who claim to have had the flu, haven't.
Prezunctly! Unless it's Man Flu.

You women have got room to talk when it comes to imaginary ailments? Post-natal depression anyone? Or how about "time of the month" related moodiness?

That was so not a smart move.
I did tell my boss 'I have a cold' (which he could see). But Man Flu sounds better.
I need someone to make me Lemsip, and rub Vicks Vapour Rub into my chest.

Yes. Relatively few people will ever catch influenza at all. Certainly not the two or three times a year most of us catch colds. You'd almost certainly die if you had it that often.

I will gladly donate you my time-of-the-month agonising stomach pains if you like!

Do we get to rub it on as well?
I would not recommend eating Vicks Vapour Rub. I would not recommend it at all.
I love Vicks! It smells amazing!
