is there a social coming up?

Yep - Thursday, 6pm ish - Ship and Shovell, Craven Passage(?), Nr Embankment Tube station/Charing Cross.

It's a lovely pub and if you want to come and need more details, PM me or Pogle.

" Digital rectal massage has been recommended as a remedy that causes immediate cessation of hiccups and which should be tried before resorting to drugs.[7]"

Next time the hot receptionist is complaining of hiccups you can vault over your desk and come to the rescue.

Bend over and touch your toes and drink a glass of water while you're at it.

I guess that would make it easier. What's the water for?

[Mich the Tester]

and they seem very reluctant to go away - any advice?

Surely your client can not object to a known medical procedure for a life threatening ailment?

I bet the (permie) first-aider doesn't know that one

Sorry - can i plead that my mind was temporarily deranged due to the fact that I'd spent the last 10 mins making loud squeeking noises every 30 seconds.( and not in a good way)

I am normally quite a well behaved rodent - sorry mods, would you like a slice of my cake? - Its got icing sugar guinea pigs on it?

That sounds interesting, but you need remedies that can be tried at your desk ...

i think i'd go straight to orally ingesting drugs before massaging them up the rectal passage (assuming the digit option failed)
