    I have terrible man-flu, and am cooking a curry that I know it is ridiculously over-spiced, and yet - nothing.

    I ate a pack of salt and vinegar crisps earlier today - literally, nothing.

    No smell, no taste, nothing.

    This is a serious disease, but has anyone shown me any sympathy? Have they fuck.

    I need a hug and a cry.
