The Man who can't stop hiccuping.

Has anyone just been watching the programme that has just been on who had been hiccuping for 2 1/2 years? Can you imagine doing that for that length of time. I know when I get them I try to get rid of them as soon as possible as I hate them.

what are your cures for hiccups? I get a cup of water and stand over the sink and drink from the far side of the cup. It always works for me.

I watched it, Helen - was going to go to be, but became mesmerised!
I usually hold my breath!
I wish they'd had an update - it was filmed in the mid 2000's - did they really stop when the swelling went down?
He's a lovely lad
