Try to avoid hypnotics as a sleeping aid, they really can bugger up your diurnal rythms. That said I shall be bringing along copious amounts of rohypnol and other narcotic/hypnotic/mind altering drugs to elucidate you of any emptiers.

As for colds, eat lots of onions, chew lots of gum to produce saliva rich in interferons (buggers up cold (rhino) virus replication), lots of vitamin C, water and fresh air.

If you're fit and healthy be it 15 or 50, you shouldn't need a flu jab and any doctor with any integrity shouldn't be recommending one willy nilly.
There are criteria which would make you eligible, so if you feel like a bit of a croaky old puffer(?!), then pop along and get your tax money's worth.

Luvinbandits = Ady? Am I right?

I'm immune from rhinovirii at the moment, currently doing stuff as bagged a few hits yesterday, back out soon. Fixed computer, back to work on that Flashback.

Not as old as you !!!!!!!

How Old Is Superman?
How Old Is Superman? One of the seemingly undefined aspect of the Superman mythos is that of his ageing. Those who fall on the side of his omnipotence in everything (the superhearing, superbreath, superhair bunch) probably think as a preternatural godhead he will live forever. Look, he has been banging around in the comics for seventy odd years, he hasn’t aged yet. Fine, but nor has Lois, or perennially annoying Jimmy Olsen. That’s what happens in comics.

The flipside is that Superman, like his Krypton forebears ages the same as us. This brings us stories of future Superman with those old greying temples (a fashion trend I bet Reed Richards wishes he had lost). Invents unstable molecules but not Just For Men). The spectre of ageing brings in tremendous story potential, as shown in Miller’s The Dark Knight Return, though not so much for Superman. When Supes stops being super, its bye-bye to his USP.

So to the current comics, which is it? They are of course hedging their bets. Which is not to say that Superman is not ridiculously old already. Only a few years ago Joe Kelly wrote a story where he and Wonder Woman got trapped in a magical realm fighting baddies for 1000 years - but it was magical you see so that might explain his ageing (he also, like a sap, or like someone without sap, didn’t get off with her once even though he believed he would never get back and Lois would be dead. Loser.)

So that makes him 1035-ish? Well, depends on your viewpoint on years spent dead. In the recent Obsidian Age storyline in JLA - designed to bring back Aquaman from the dead - all of the JLA died. Apparently it is less clunky if you resurrect six characters at once rather than just the one. Well the plan was that he dies 3000 years in the past and the bad guy would “accidentally” ressurect them all in the present, and thus get the proper smack-down they deserve. Do years dead count as ageing. Tricky. His body was seen to have decomposed too, but probably no brain activity. Who wrote this story - Joe Kelly of course.

So anyway, Superman is according to DC comics either 35, 1035 or 4035. Ish. Once you get into the thousands it all comes down to significant figures. And we still don’t know if he ages normally. But think of poor old Lois - she is seeing a considerable older man

Respect your elders, young man. There's a few club players on here who are older than me. Those grandslam players and cops and robbers ferrymen must be in their late forties by now.

I had this flu but it didn't stop me from getting up at 7.24 am every day and working till 5pm. I guess some people are born lazy and love to play their weaknesses off on excuses such as the flu. We can't all be hard workers though?

You were lucky - I was the guy who had to re-inflate your lung, and I had a stinking cold at the time...

i had to have a day off once for a partially collapsed lung and pneumonia,seriously ,i'd been coughing my guts up for weeks ,apparently i was very lucky not to have been laid up for a while ,i did feel a bit off colour mind and short of breath. strangest thing was i did'nt have a temperature ,they only sussed the collapsed lobe coz of the x-ray ,was coughing up all this nasty froth for a bit,and the antibiotics they gave me induced the worst stomach cramps ever ,pure evil diarrohea aswell .
all this happened because i was too stubborn to see a dr with the initial cough that would'nt go away.
