.....that carries you off, it's the coffin they carry you off in. One of my mother's favourite little sayings that is!
However, I'm only at the cough stage this week.
I visited the UK at the end of last month for 48 hours and that was enough to catch the lurgi. I always catch something when I visit the UK. Makes no difference whether it is by car or plane, if I set foot in the UK I am going down with something. On this occasion it started within about 24 hours of getting back, and has kept going, and going. I saw the doctor last week and he gave me the favourite cough syrup of the French, cleverly named Sirop. I finished that today and although it ha stopped me coughing for a few hours at a time, the moment it wears off it starts up again. So tomorrow I return to see our doctor for the next step which will no doubt be antibiotics. I'm assuming that will kill it. I don't think I even had a chinese take-away when I was across so I don't think it will be coronavirus.
The only problem is that I have to visit the UK quickly again twice more this month. Double Pneumonia anyone?

Sorry to hear that you are unwell.
Still, at least it's a proper British lurgi you've got, not one of those limp-wristed French ones.
Corona virus, you know. Drink too much fizzy pop and you'll get a nasty dose of Corona virus
Masher - You are right. A cough is a proper onamatopaeic word. In french it is a toux. Really not worth one's bother.
Brennig - Cream Soda, that was my faourite, followed by Limeade, Cherryade, Orangeade and Lemonade last. I remember the Corona Man coming round in his lorry to leave our weekly order and take the empties back. How bloody old do I sound!
You sound very old, Dave.
But then, so am I, because I remember the same.
Not that he delivered to us :(
Oh lordy - I am so much older than any of you and I remember the Corona man's name was Brian!
