The best Morning Show going, what else can be said.

PS: Dominic you have one hell of a sex tingling, wake me up, gimme gimme gimme voice, oh the fun you and your wife must have.

i agree with the interview thingy... make them wake up earlier :)

Chris I love waking up with you and the gang in the morning, but what really get's my goat is that you sit there braggin about all these A-listers that you will be interviewing, later on in the show and I have to leave my house at 7.30 at the very, very latest! I always end up walking to the train station singing 'One road travel...with the fabulous Dominic Burns!' But I wish i could have heard the interview with David Beckham, cuz the next day you all talk about it and how good it was and i always feel left out! My point is Chris...Tell them to come in earlier so i can listen to the interview...OK?!

I am currently suffering from a spin off variant of man flu so wholeheartedly agree with Dom, having spent the weekend and Monday under self-imposed house arrest. After drinking the house try of cough syrup I have resorted to creating my own remedy which is whisky and honey in hot water...I am blogging to appeal to the outside world to send me food and flu remedies. Help me pleeaaasssee....

dom you are a legend, best thing on the show!!

You look more manly than you sound Dom I must say. Why is it all you men when you catch a little something which makes you look after yourseld more you all moan tut tut. Makes me and my girlies laugh if anything it makes the news sound more appealing!!!!!!!!!

Are you seriously comparing childbirth with flu?

err....are you mental???

Now, I endured 42 hours of labour and although I would rather be set on fire than do it again, I hardly think Man flu is even nearly comparable..

Guys.... get with it! Dont let those dangly things get in the way of your judgement...or reality!

what?? ^^

I lov you dom but i have to say man flu can not be as bad as giving birth! not that ive done that.... anyway keep up the good work.. lots lof love amy xxx

MAN FLU IS LIKE THE WORST THING IN THE WORLD!
I just lock myself in my room like soome kind of recovering junkie to keep everyone out of harms way! I'm not nice when i'm ill!

MarkB is soooo right and he seems to have picked a gem of a wife. Lucozade in bed when you're ill is FANTASTIC! I have yet to convince my Spanish girlfriend of the wonders of Lucozade and it's almost-miraculous healing powers. I get married next week so there's still time to work on her! ;) My final tip would be move to Southern Spain... I've had Manflu twice in the 5 years I've been here. Not a bad average.

I think i have just contracted manflu from reading this blog. But anyway nothing could be worse than giving birth while suffering from flu..............

Dom,

The only thing you have to worry about with manflu, is getting snot down the front of your shirt when you sneeze!!

Dr McCrumble, you have my deepest condolences.

Love you Dom

Good one, Dom. As a 23 year old woman who has yet to have children, I certainly want to believe that a cold is more painful than childbirth! If a cold is the kind of pain I've got to worry about whilst having children, I'm ready for kids right now!

I don't know about ManFlu being comparable to child birth, but you should try kidney stones, it's unimaginable compared to giving birth, (not that i've given birth, but it can't be as bad as what I went through with the stones).

Dom,

great logic. you suffer from man flu through out the year (if you are real lucky or stay to close of Carrie's horses - although not sure if one can give birth on such a regular frequency!

Don't agree with you in the slightest dom, but im glad your sounding slightly better.
Tee Hee dr joseph mcrumble, thats a funny name!

Hi

Being a laydee who has given birth I have to say Dom that you are so very very wrong! You are equating Manflu (which you caught from a laydee????) to having to push something the size of a watermelon through a hole the size of a penny! Why don't you try that sometime and see if you still complain about manflu!

If you think MANFLU is bad, wait until you catch GAYFLU, its 10 times worse than MANFLU

Oh No! Dom's got the lurgy!
Men and illness generally do not mix, as a student nurse I have worked with alot of ill men and they often have to take more painkillers, need a longer recovery time and generally, the younger ones (Under 50) need alot more TLC, and I don't think that's down to the uniform, at least I hope not!
Anyway, hope that you soon feel better!
Take Care!

Big crying baby!!!

LOL!!! you are gonna get shot for that off all the ladies

Man flu IS real.

Women have this Urban Myth about man being ill and wanting sympath while they get on with life...Rubbish!

When I'm ill I go to bed and sleep until better. The wife keeps coming in the room and waking me to see if I want some Lucozade. Leave my natural male functions alone to fight the alien in side!!!

Sorry Dom you're just a wimp because a mancold can't be worse than a woman cold and definetly can't be worse than child birth, even though i havn't had a baby!

I just thought if we were putting our qualifications in i would too! Unfortunately now i am thinking that was dumb as its just a joker degree and teaching certification! Anyway Dom hope you get better you are too funny not to be on the show! And you didn't cheat this morning, Chris is obviously jealous of your man brains! Love your work!

Great Blog.

hahaha... manflu :) Hope you get better soon.

I realy have to comment on this whole manflu thing because personally i think it's rubbish.

i am not disagreeing that getting the flu isn't bad but both women and men get the same symptoms, it's just the women are a damn sight better at dealing with the flu than men! you big bunch of jessies!

PS really love the show - it makes me laugh on my way to work.

I find getting drunk on cheap sherry sorts out manflu .... not sure about pregnacy's though :s

Hi Chris!

I'm listening to you in NZ! You caught MANFLU from Carrie? Can you catch MANFLU from a girl!!? Maybe try giving it her back :-)

Women get an epidural, gas & air, morphin, crack etc - we only get Lemsip! Surely an unfair distribution of NHS resources.

And another post, since I forgot to say welcome back from MANFLU... Nice to have you in the show again :)

Helen

Maybe the reasoning you use, saying MANFLU is bad, is true and you guys get really sick. But I should ask you that how you behave when your wife/girlfriend/kids gets sick and neeed some quite time to relax. Are you as sympathetic as you want other people be to you?

"I caught it from Carrie who was wheezing over everyone at Radio 1..."

No wonder she sounds exhausted.

an easy remerdy for the dreaded MANFLU is an exterme heat curry and hot bath. this has worked wonders for me and as a farmer a day off is simply not allowed. so tell your missus to get cooking and stop moaning!!!!!!

Oh Dom. You big girls blouse!! Hope you feel millions better soon though....Loving your work!!

I have had this argument with my wife for years. ManFlu is twice as bad as common flu that women get, they don't realise that not only do we have flu symptoms twice as bad as normal flu, but we have to put up with inane whinging about how "it's only a sniffle" and "don't be such a baby". Their moaning only magnifies the pain and suffering. If they would all look after us and speak softly and sexy we would certainly muster up the energy and strength for 'hows-your-father' thus remedying illness, cos we all know, a cold/flu/manflu is best cured sweated out.

Btw, Pervalism is on sale.

Er

Not sure I entirely agree there, Dom. I must confess to knowing a thing or two about infectious diseases and their effects on affected organisms. And....well, let's just say there is no evidence in the animal world that colds affect male animals more than female animals. So, unless human males have evolved a gene for 'exagerated symptoms' it is more likely that you are the victim of an inherited behavioural trait.

You see, Dom, you have a tendency to imitate your peers. Like all of us. The first man who exagerated his cold symptoms spawned an entirely new behaviour that has been passed from father to son for many, many generations. It has been succesful because it elicits sympathy and mothering from women. Men who elicit sympathy from women have a potentially higher reproductive rate, as gaining sympathy from a women is a well known route to gaining her affection.

If we take the extrapolation of this basic tenet to its ideological conclusion, Dom, we come to the simply stated hypothesis that you are sick because you are virile. The way to prevent sickness in the future will be to reduce your virility. There are various procedures available, some of which involve a general anaesthetic. So take medical advice before proceeding.

Yours,
