Fellow blogger Jeff Bell reported he had "man flu" the other day. I hope he is better. I have proper flu and I've got it worse!
I blame First Bus.

Welcome
A bit of a CV. Tandleman is a veteran beer lover, local CAMRA Chairman and activist, beer writer, beer reviewer and pursuer of all things good in beer. He lives in the North West of England and London. Despite his CAMRA membership, he does not limit himself to cask conditioned beer, though he believes that cask conditioning, when done correctly and appropriately, brings a quality to beer that is hard to equal by any other kind of presentation. He is a strong supporter of Northern methods of beer dispense and avidly detests poorly presented beer and dislikes pasteurisation. He regularly visits Germany, has conducted corporate British and German beer tastings for CAMRA at the Great British Beer Festival where he has worked for years on Biere Sans Frontieres and was Deputy Organiser at CAMRA's very successful National Winter Ales Festival in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 and at the Manchester Beer and Cider Festival from 2013 to date. He admires good brewers wherever they are and has travelled extensively in pursuit of good beer to drink. He also judges beer at both the International Beer Challenge and the World Beer Awards.

You two really are close, aren't you! Get well soon, TM.
Like Blood Brothers we are, me and "Rosey Nosey" Jeff! (-;
Soak your bollocks in Epsom Salts for about a half hour. This will drive out the evil. Get lots of rest and start mowing through fruit juice. You should notice an improvement within 24-36 hours. Repeat as necessary.
With any luck, you'll be okay over Christmas when everyone else is picking at the turkey with one hand and a tissue box with the other. Happy Christmas to all Tandlebloggers.
Cheers Guys, Wurst - your advice is good - apart from the fruit juice bit. Rednev - Hopefully by Tuesday, I'll be back supping
