Got a great tip? Share it with us. You know, stuff like "Prevent sneezing by pressing you index finger firmly between your nose and your upper lip."

I'm not sure where I learnt this from but it works. To get rid of hiccups:
1. Breathe in through your mouth.
2. Hold your breathe for a second and breathe in through your mouth again.
3. Repeat until your lungs feel as if they're at breaking point.
4. While still holding your breathe, swallow really hard until you can't physically continue (usually takes between 3 and 6 gulps).
5. Enjoy not hiccupping. For the first 30s you'll still want to hiccup, but they've gone.
6. Shout "yay!"
