And Finally... Woman has hiccups - for SIX years

Fed-up Amanda Weston is desperate to get rid of hiccups - after enduring them for SIX years.

Cleaner Amanda, 41, has painful 20-minute bursts of hiccups at the same times, six times a day - which adds up to 730 hours each year.

Amanda, of Hull, said: "I have no idea what started it all off. It went on for a week and then a month- it was relentless, but my GP said there was nothing he could do, unless they were 24 hours a day.

"He said it was very rare but unless I was hiccupping in my sleep I'd have to put up with it.

"It's like a routine. The hiccups get on my nerves, but at least everyone knows who I am.

"I just want someone to find out what is causing it and, hopefully, cure me."
