Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Literally as I walked to the tube station on Sunday after sauntering my way around the marathon I started to feel a cough taking hold, which exploded into a full on head cold and as the gift that keeps on giving has now added conjunctivitis, tonsillitis, a blocked ear and a cold sore to its list of attractive ailments.

Anyone else feeling sorry for themselves while soldiering on?

Moi. Stuffy nose and headache. Negative PCR. Doing as much as possible remotely so as not to share it 🙁

I had a corker last month. It lasted 3 weeks and was harsher than my usual winter cold.

I have been suffering for weeks, still got a bit of a cough. Antibiotics helped. Many bugs around here at the moment.

I keep expecting to feel better, and it doesn't help that if I go out for a walk and cough (in the open air and not close to anyone) it feels like I'm doing something illegal/taboo.

I had a really horrible one last month too. Lasted 2 weeks because it hung around on my chest.

I also had a horrible one about a month ago. Can't remember when I last had one. Used to have one a year when still in London, but since moving to a thinly populated area, I rarely have one.

Got something to say?
