This week, the MNDAssociation launched its new Awareness campaign, #TakeOverMND.
It’s part 2 of the That was the summer that was….
Wow, what a summer! Perfect weather, and time spent with great friends. Best weather since 1976, which I actually remember quite well. So what’s been happening? During my self-imposed exile from the blog over summer, the world has provided plenty of inspiration, through daily events, crazy stories, but above all from the stupidity of the…
Readers, I write this post during a brief pause in our heatwave here in the UK. It’s coming back, don’t worry. Does this beautiful weather conceal a secret? Are we doomed? Way back in 1954, the celebrated science fiction writer, and door to door salesman, HG Bragg in his novel The Land of the Survivors painted…
Oh dear, I was hoping to title this post, “Reach for the Stars“, but as we have just been knocked out of the World Cup, it’s slightly different. However, the theme remains the same!
Dr Bragg!! Who is he? A new type of Doctor; a doctor of all, a doctor of medicine, feelings, music, life and all things important. This week, into his world we tumble and venture. Shall we jump?…..yes let’s jump NOW!! But first, take a good mouthful of Bragg’s Potion 26………….
Good evening readers! There most certainly is a time and place for everything! Both here right now in 2018 and throughout our human existence! Obviously, there are only 40 or so years I can personally comment on, but here goes!
Good day all. Here is Dr Peter Scott-Morgan’s promised guest post as part of MND Awareness Month here in the UK. A provocative article on the challenges we all might face and the pioneering research he is undertaking. His post is about choices that we could take that, as Peter himself often says, will help us…
Hi readers. This week I continue with my theme for MND Awareness Month and take both a retrospective and future look at living with MND. So in this early week post, let us go back to the past before coming forward to the present date with my first guest blog announcement that is focused on…
“And I won’t be surprised if it’s a dream….” Yes, the immortal words of Karen Carpenter. We visited the Top of the World last week. Well, certainly the top of North Wales. It’s now a regular trip for us. A seven hour drive that always seems to flow by knowing what beautiful scenery we are…
A nice mysterious title for a research opinion post? Read on, my intrigued and loyal followers….
Wow, what a busy time the week before last was! It did of course culminate with the Royal Wedding. This very very special edition of onein400 is your historical record of last week and is yours to keep for posterity! Lord Bragg’s special His and Her Whisky Cup sets with Bragg’s 90% proof Wedding Whisky…
Hi, readers! It’s the Bank Holiday special, or rather the post Bank Holiday edition delayed for reasons beyond my control. This week is sponsored by Bragg’s BBQs, ex government surplus single use, instant lighting garden cooking devices. I can only hope that the advice in this how to enjoy your Bank Holiday post has been heeded…
“Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends come inside, come inside!” Lots of music references this week as it is sunny (well it was) and listening to tunes is fab! You can play along and spot the songs/artists. The picture on the front of today’s post is of Meldon Dam in Devon….
The title of this week’s Easter blog is a sort of tribute to Professor Stephen Hawking whose funeral was held yesterday. A true giant. His genius will enable new technological discoveries and facilitate taking humankind into the future. His ashes will be interned in Westminster Abbey alongside those of Sir Issac Newton, Charles Darwin and…
I have just realised that I haven’t written a onein400 research opinion post for over 6 months! Apologies, readers. Let me correct this right now! This one is split into two distinct sections. First, a quick, but timely, update about the pipeline for new drugs/treatments and then a discussion about genetics and the rather indistinct…
Hi readers! Well well, a week or so after snow had covered the south of England, we are now in spring! Or are we? Please note this post was composed before the snow fall today!
It’s the Hunker down issue sponsored by Bragg’s Cryogenics. So sorry readers, I have had to take advertising yet again from Lord Bragg. Ok, Lord Bragg please say what you need to and get out of here… “….thanks Lee, just a quick hello to say that with every registered application for a full body Bragg’s…
It is 1952 and the Winter Olympics are being hosted by Norway. Otto Bragg is a member of the crack Norwegian unique 5 man bobsleigh team. Officially a 4 man sport, Otto is gaining publicity for his vodka distillery by serving drinks to the team during the sleigh run. Apart from a couple of spectators being…
