Going to see Patrick Stewart in Bingo this afternoon. Very excited, but I've got a cough and I would just be mortified if I had a coughing fit during the performance. Must find a way to supress it!
That happened to me quite badly twice at inopportune moments, once at a job interview...a tickly cough that rendered me unable to speak, just cough cough cough, eyes watering, the lot...the interviewer had to go and get me a glass of water, it was humiliating, but I got the job!..the other time was paying for something in a shop, not as bad but still embarrassing.
Like Keewik says bring some lozenges and have a bottle of water in your bag too.
