This poor guy has had the hiccups for 15 months now - I can’t even bear them for 10 minutes!

I have a cure that always works for me, and it’s worked for 99% of the people I’ve tried it on (the other 1% were too drunk to try it properly I reckon).

1. Fill a glass with water or a beverage of your choice (preferably not beer though, it’ll likely only make it worse).
2. Put a straw in the drink or get another kind being (preferably more sober than you) to hold the glass for you.
3. Put your fingers in your ears - as far in as you can without causing damage obviously - careful now.
4. Drink as much of the water/beverage of choice as you can whilst blocking your ears - either through the straw or the other person ‘feeding’ it to you.

It works for me anyways - something to do with the air pressure and tubes connecting yadda yadda yadda.

Officially.

Or so some professor says which is good enough for me anyways.

Apparently, the most depressing day of every year is the third Monday of January or ‘Blue Monday’ i.e. today. And this is because we’ve spent all our money over Christmas, have crap weather and haven’t stuck to our New Years resolutions. All boxes I can tick I’m afraid to say.

What could be related to this is a study that shows that Sunday night’s sleep is the ‘worst sleep’ of the week which would definitely make you a bit grumpy on a Monday morning.

And whatever you do - don’t leave your mobile phone on at night because this will make you sleep even worse! It’s definitely something I’ll have to change as I always sleep with my mobile on. I have no idea why. It’s not that I’m expecting a call or even want anyone to call me at night but still… it’s just that cutting off that link to the outside world. And sometimes drunken late night calls are funny, especially when the other person can’t even remember ringing you. I probably should consider turning it off now though.

EDIT: Apparently everyone knows about Blue Monday. How have I never heard of it before?!

…and diarrhoea (never thought that would be a word I’d write in this blog…)

looky here

It reminds me of all the girls I knew in school and college who survived purely on diet coke and chewing gum. And looked like lollipops.

Yuck.
