Post by: Miss Demeanour on May 14, 2009, 11:00:30 AM

A good sharp shock normally does the trick. Try giving the Brat your credit card and see what she comes back wtih.  whistle:

Right, now read carefully, I shall type this only once...  8)

Stand close to a wall in the room with your toes, nose, and fingertips touching the wall only. Arms down by your side. Now very slowly raise your arms to either side remembering to keep only the fingertips, nose and toes touching the wall. Raise your arms until they are above your head... and then lower them in the same way...
Repeat until the hiccups go away or you get really bored  whistle:

MMMmmmm think I would have some difficulty with that too  noooo:

There are only certain ones I remember ..why is that ....????

Generally these are the ones where you times the number by itself  e.g 7 x 7 or 8 x 8  but ask me what 6 x 7 is and I would have to work backwards from that  noooo:

That'll be why then ...

the 9 times table is the worst though  noooo:
Title: Re: Hiccup cures
Post by: Nick on May 14, 2009, 01:04:29 PM
Noooooo, simple. Cos all most of the sums add up to 9!

9
18 (1+8 = 9)
27 (2+7 = 9)

and so on.

99 is a bugger though  evil:
Title: Re: Hiccup cures
Post by: Snoopy on May 14, 2009, 01:05:33 PM
Nah ~ 9 times is the easiest 'cos the answers always add up to 9
1x9=9
2x9=18
3x9=27
4x9=36
5x9=45
6x9=54
7x9=61
8x9=72
9x9=81
10x9=90
11x9=99 (the only exception and surely any fool can remember that one)
12x9=108 (1+0+8=9)


OK Nick types faster and less

Title: Re: Hiccup cures
Post by: Miss Demeanour on May 14, 2009, 01:14:52 PM
The question was can you get your toes and your nose to touch the wall - stretch your arms above your head and then recite the 9 times table  whistle:
Title: Re: Hiccup cures
Post by: Pastis on May 14, 2009, 01:21:12 PM

7x9=61

 eeek:  63, surely  ;)

11x9=99 (the only exception and surely any fool can remember that one)

or 99 = 9+9 = 18, and 8 + 1 = 9

Most people's are. It's only wimmin who claim they can multi-task. What they mean is they have 17 unfinished tasks on at any one time, all of which never get finished. Like BM's DIY stuff only more widespread  noooo:

I found out about those sort of diaphragms in 1977. Easy.

Simples. Check  the bathroom cabinet before going to bed
