Came across these and began wondering how to Q them:

• Law of Logical Argument—Anything is possible if you don’t know what you are talking about. (Why do I automatically think of Q?)
• Law of Commercial Marketing Strategy—As soon as you find a product that you really like, they will stop making it. (Why do I automatically think of Q?)
• Law of Lockers—If there are only two people in a locker room, they will have adjacent lockers.
• Law of the Bath—When the body is fully immersed in water, the telephone rings.
• Law of the supermarket—As soon as you get in the smallest line, the cashier will have to call for help.

The pull-quote said "The worst possible announcement to hear on a plane"

Falls into the same category of "worst thing to hear your surgeon say to the nurse":

hmmm, I've never seen one quite like that before ...
hmmm, that's not good ....
hmmm, where did I put the ....
Can we edit that bit out of the video?

Wow, the last week has been interesting to say the least. My son was ill last weekend and kindly gave it to me on Monday night. Tuesday was meant to be working from home but I knew I was coming down with something, progressively getting worse. Wednesday cracked 38.5C multiple times during the day - Panamax took care of that. Knew I had a virus by this time - chills followed by fever, repeat and rinse. Started taking cold & flu tabs and canned the Panamax.

Thought I was getting better last night but today it came back with a vengeance. Chills and fever which cracked the magic 40 degrees about 2 hours ago.

Just had a home doctor service come in and tell me I have an ILI - temp was still 38.6 when she was here.

Damn that has been a week I don't grant to repeat. Off to get the antibiotics, stat

Sounds nasty :shock: It's always the ones that look simple at a glance that seem to knock you around the most! Hope you feel better soon.

I've never been so ill with a virus before. 2 hours ago I was lying on the couch and Mrs QF WP was actually really worried about what I had - I have no recollection of about 90 mins as I was battling the fever, waiting for the doctor to come.

Nasty QFWP. Hope those antibiotics do the trick and that MrsQFWP doesn't get it.

Viruses are completely underrated for their malevolence. Ebola and HIV are both viruses as is SIDS and most other nasties, including the cause of some cancers.

Not good at all, hope you're on the mend.

Got them and back lying on the couch feeling quite useless at the moment. Nurofen is also my friend now

I just had the most scary part of the whole week. I had just had some Nurofen and I had a turn - felt like throwing up and passing out at the same time. Have just sweated through my clothes and feel better than I have all day. When is it going to stop,,

A few days before your funeral. Until then you'll have good and bad days. Hopefully a lot more of the former than the latter.

Not sure how to take that Hvr... perhaps it's tongue in cheek?

The things kids bring home. Hope you're feeling better very soon!

Sheesh... are you sure the doctor said you were alright to be at home and to rest it off with some drugs?

I'd be prepared to go to the hospital; sounds really serious. Also keep up the fluids, as uncomfortable as that might be.

Bit of curiosity: are you normally sensitive to illness / easy to get sick?

Get better soon QF WP.... real soon...

 

[QF WP]

Yes, pity the doctor took so long to come as I would have loved to know what my temp hit. Have drunk just under 2 litres this afternoon - mostly water but I did have a Berocca in one cup.

I'm normally the one who misses everything - we all appear to have had a derivation of this over the past couple of weeks. My son took ill when at my parents on the weekend and was on antibiotics during he week and he had different symptoms to me.
