hahaha I watched the websters family album the other week (as in corrie) & it was said that whenever sally shared a bottle of red wine with someone you could be sure of some 'activity' so maybe MrB has seen it too & is just getting himself ready with the aftershave ;-)
I have sneezed unexpetedly when offering a plate of nibbles around!! they ended up scattered all over the floor which was funny, but people were clearly grossed out (it was a ...ahem...messy sneeze)
I always find i start sneezing after i've just applied mascara, i end up with panda eyes, it's ruddy annoying. But like you Beryl i don't know why that is. :))
