Removing paint from brick work!

Options
Any ideas of removing paint from brick work? I was painting the window frames with some white non-gloss paint and accidentally some paint got on to the brick work. I can't seem to budge it and was wondering what liquid etc will get rid of it?

    As it's not gloss a stiff brush (or toothbrush) & soapy water may do the job, however I usually do it when still wet.
    I always thought nitromors was only for oil based paints.

    Wire brush but be careful not to damage the brick work.
