Despite feeling relatively healthy, a local man’s day has just been ruined by realizing that he will wake up sick tomorrow.

Scientists at The Obiter’s research compound have identified that the scratchy throat experienced prior to full blown sickness is really just a courtesy call.

‘I just need somewhere to crash for a couple of days after I got sneezed out of a kindergartener but I was raised to always call ahead and never drop in empty handed so I send a tingly throat as a bit of a heads up,’ explained Keith, who is a common cold virus, and a die-hard South Sydney fan.

We caught up prospective host with Darren Leadman (23) after he was seen desperately scanning the vitamins section of his local Woolies.

‘Maybe if I take like 4 of these Swisse Ultivites I can stop this cold in its tracks. I rang mum to see what I should take but she just told me that it’s my fault for not wearing a jumper the other night. That self-righteous woman!’

It appears that Keith plans to set up camp in Darren’s sinuses for a couple of days, or until the white blood cells move him on and is unphased by any attempts to ward him off.
