Guest Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 7 sips and a gulp.Works every time for me .. Pretty self explanitory - Take 7 small sips of water and then one massive gulp. . You can of course substitute wine for water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Hmm. not an additional tax on wine then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 My fab husband reckons the steps below work every time: 1) fill a glass to the brim with water 2) place it on the worktop 3) put your thumbs in your ears (yep) 4) bend forward and use your little fingers to pick up the glass (steadying it with the next fingers if necessary) 5) drink from the glass fast without breathing Elaborate I know but he says it works great and it will at least entertain the family! Maybe if you get desperate....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can of course substitute wine for water. You could do - But I'm not old enough to drink so it's always water for me . Seriously though .. It does work! Really?!?! Then what on earth are you doing up at this hour - you should be in bed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Come on GB, its not a school night Well, Ok, I suppose so.... just so long as the homework gets done. .. Yes the homework is getting done . I get every wednesday off untill 10th November (then my work placements start) .. And every monday and friday I get a 3 hour break between lectures . Not that bad really .. Plus .. I get discount in so many shops in town because of my student ID card .. Free bus journeys with First busses .. ANYTIME .. ANYWHERE .. Get to wear your own clothes .. Could go on all night. College is wicked *sigh* Sounds idyllic. I wish I was young again.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkshire Pudding Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Swallow a teaspoonful of sugar, at once, the hiccups stop instantly. Never heard of that one Fred, but I do use that trick for bleeding in the mouth - kids biting their tongue or whatever. It stops the blood and cheers up the child in one go. Just call me Mary Poppins.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I was always told you should go .................... Never seemed to work . I'll try the sugar next time . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
