I can easily remember having flu at home, and really feeling rotten back then...
I'd just packed up with a girlfriend, my mum was buying me Consulate cigarettes, (they were supposed to be good for the throat), I was supposed to be taking surveying exams in a few weeks, and hadn't revised enough, and there was Tony Blackburn, giggling away and telling everybody the someone had spilt tea all over his script...
That chap really did cheer me up, but I failed the exams, lost the girlfriend, changed my job and had to start all over again! Thank goodness I did, because after 53 years of loving my favourite lady, I was the real winner!
