memo to self
Make sure Nick Griffin* isn’t about to be interviewed on Radio 4 as you start cleaning your teeth, since drowning in mouthwash is a particularly unpleasant way to go.
The trouble with thugs-in-suits is that they sound perfectly pleasant, and then your brain catches up with your ears, and you draw a deep, outraged breath, preparatory to shouting at the radio**.
Only you have 15ml of Aquafresh Clear Mint mouthwash in your mouth at the time.
15ml of Aquafresh Clear Mint mouthwash making abrupt and unplanned contact with your lungs results in you coughing and choking and rolling round on the bathroom floor trying not to die for about five minutes, and oh but it burns, my precioussssss, it burns, since it’s not designed to be used as a sinus rinse.
Ow.
*Well-known thug-in-a-suit.
**Is it just me that does this?

No, not just you. I was having to listen to same said thug in a suit but was greatful tv was in the front room otherwise may have had similar problems. I have also found it useful not to have hot drinks around when N.G. or similar are speaking.

**No, you’re not. We all utter disparaging comments at various forms of media. Spitting coffee at a monitor is my usual FAIL.
Choking on mouthwash. Eeeekkk, nasty. At least you’ll know your lungs are now properly sterilized, though!
