Don't let any horrible young people anywhere near you, they carry bugs.

I've never had a flu jab either. I had the flu as a kid and got laid up for month, and once more in the 60's but never since.

With regard to colds, when I started working in a school my boss told me I'd have two years of misery, cold after cold in a full on train. Then I'd never have a cold again. I was deeply sceptical of this, but the fact is ... it was true.
