I was ill myself over Xmas. Started feeling nauseous on Xmas Eve and only really back to normal this morning. Didnt partake in Xmas dinner or any alcohol, has probably done me a favour actually!

I went out for 20k on the bike today which may signify I’m starting to come out of it. C19 test was negative. It’s been fucking horrific. I’m off till Thursday now. I should be down the battle cruiser sinking pints. Instead I’m fucking contemplating going to bed to watch a romcom with the mrs.

    The lack of minerals in this thread is absolutely unbelievable Jeff.

    benson a rom com with the Mrs, like you’ve not suffered enough

      Amps just starting on my second kg today.

      kilos three and four will have to wait, having a breather tomorrow.

        I have dodged so many viruses in recent weeks but I have finally succumbed.

        I’m cold, somebody hold me 💀 🎻

        NasserAlazzawi yep, apparently so. What’s what 111 told me

        Always though the flu was a joke tbf, can see why it kills people now

          Some of us have done 3 consecutive days on the smash and are still going strong.

          We go again lads!

          Just three? Post the pic.

          Had some great festive cheer today when my flight to Beijing was two hours late leaving Manchester.

          Got to witness a load of Bolton scrotes flipping out at Beijing border control because they were going to miss a connection to Thailand (they had to cross the border / collect bags because they were transferring from T2 to T3).

          Now normally I wouldn’t cheer such misfortunate but they were a pain in the arse all flight (they were necking duty free and generally being loud cunts on the front row of economy, while I was on the back row of business) so fuck ’em.

          Lounge review: Escape Manchester. WANK apart from self-assembled bacon rolls.

            Also, the beauty of seeing people flip out in China is the Chinese just pretend to not understand a word the foreigner is saying.

            Until such time that the foreigner takes it completely over the top, and just gets arrested.

            Along_the_Wire Agreed. Got a load of jip from some overbearing armed police there once.

            They could not comprehend that I was perhaps more interested in tending to the patient on life support in the plane than immediately giving them my passport. I have flown out of there maybe once. No desire to go back

                bosstrabs Not really schadenfreude here, but reading that just makes me buzz that I won’t be getting on a flight possibly ever again.

                  Mad_Cyril As above, it’s the standard Business Class lounge for a lot of airlines.

                  Typically ones that don’t have a serious presence at Manchester e.g. Chinese airlines.

                  Loads of bellends with Turkey Teeth lined up waiting to pay to get in.

                  Do I pay with my own money? Yes and no, in a way. My employer reimburses up to £1600 for a trip home twice a year. My ticket back for Christmas was £2100 round trip, so I did add £500 of my own coin.

                      Didn’t realise served as BUSINESS for some airlines.

                      It’s a fucking clown show.

                      You should have dropped Benson’s name to get in a pwopah lounge.

                      Bolton crew going to see their wives for New Year?
