Flu Jab? Will ya?
« on: October 13, 2017, 06:46:14 pm »
It's that time of year again when we're all advised to get the flu jab.  Apparently there's a nasty version coming from Australia.

I never bothered in the past but this year, I'm thinking I might..

Will ya? Won't ya?  Or will you rely on a half bottle of whiskey after each shift to kill all the germs  :2cheers

a couple of years ago I got a really bad dose.
I was out of action for a week.
I had a dreadful chesty tickley cough that would'nt go away.
My sides were killing me from all the coughing and I was dreading it when I had to sneeze.
I crawled out of bed and limped to dunnes stores and got this cough medicine that was specific to phlegm and drank the whole yoke.
A couple hours later I coughed and all the shit down my pipe came up in one go in my mouth.
It was like a big green golf ball in my mouth.
Spat it out down the toilet.
Terrific it was.

I was actually thinking about getting it myself, we are open to every cunt coughing and sneezing all over our work space.
Maybe the nta should pay for it.

Flu doesn't normally specify where it's headed. Try the HPV vaccine if yer worried.

You got off light. Had a dose last month myself, 1000 times worse than your little cough, lucky to get out with my life.

I only started getting man flu after driving the taxi.Despite years of bicycles and motorbikes in the cold and wet never bothered me.I always thought it strange that someone will send an employee home in the taxi because they're sick but never think of the driver in the confined space with them.

It seems that most taxis up above in Dublin are driven by African immigrants, I suppose folk just think they've survived a lot worse than influenza and, if thy don't, what of it there's plenty more where they came from. Of course, the alternatives would be to risk your own or another staff members's health or put a bus or train load of commuters at risk. No-brainer, I guess.
