Conference Cold
It has been said before that the less clothes you wear in CCHQ the more important you are. Ranging from suits and ties at the bottom rungs to Steven Hilton's casual black t-shirt and jeans look. A new pecking order has been established at conference though - Dave Flu. As Manchester '09 progressed more and more senior staff were apparently going down with conference lurgy, with Dave himself not 100%. The more ill you were the more obvious the contact you had with the big players.
TB is laid up this morning with a combination of wine-flu and a streaming cold. Can't be said he fits in to the contact with the big players category. More getting caught out without an umbrella at 4am almost every evening. Conference was a blast and was great to meet so many readers and even put faces to a couple of previously unknown sources. Bit of a detox required.
He's sorting his life out today but will get plenty more gossip out of the bubble as it comes back to him.

I have many of the same symptoms as you. Time to put that YBF money to good use and stock up on medicine ;)
Had to head home on Wednesday with an appalling cold and aches and pains. Thankfully not actually pig flu, as originally suspected.
I fear Tory Karaoke may have been ground zero for Dave flu...
Get well soon, Mr Bear!
And have you recovered from the ignomy of not being able to find your train ticket on the way back? Spies are everywhere...
oooh intriguing.
Hope you weren't the one eviling TB and his friend for being loud in the quiet coach?!
Nope - I was a couple of seats behind and asleep for most of the journey. Would have tweeted it had my mobile not given up. Very nearly didn't wake up at Euston and could have ended up back in Manchester...
I too have come down with the dreaded lurgy but since you got the sniffles a full day before I did I'm blaming my current illness solely on you rather than on high power plotting. Being the irrational female I am that makes sense to me! Take some advice from a far better organised Tattler, strepsils, hot toddies and vitamin C and you should be right as rain by monday. A hot water bottle usually doesn't go amiss either.
ha ha you have swine flu
Hahaha. Having lived there for three years it's completely true what they say about it raining all the time in Manchester, isn't it?
Ah, the needy desperation of the You've Been Framed contingent..
