    Great, thanks. Good catch. I keep doing that. I also picked up on a stray apostrophe elsewhere... :scream:

    After a pretty rough 2 weeks, with the Cochrane issue, the Nice guideline development group formation, the Guardian podcast, it has been wonderful to read Brian’s blog today.
    I’ve smiled all morning while posting it on fb and starting individual letters to a number of people, including my MP, who I think need to see it.
    Thanks @Brian Hughes.

    Brilliant. I've had a rough week and that has put a smile back on my face.

    MEAssociation has posted @Brian Hughes’s blog.
    I think I read that they weren’t planning to be on the website this weekend for energy reasons so that is great. Spread the word.

    Finally finnished it all, and it's just so good and spot on! You relly do have both a clear eye and a sharp pen Brian, thank you!

    I can see why also non-patients are taken by this post - you explain the going on's in a very approchable language. The whole thing is quotable! But this little sentence made my laugh out loud - thank you! :thumbup:

    @Brian Hughes great article. funnily enough I was re-visiting your presentation (with DT) today.
    Would it be OK if I produced a transcript of it?

    It's perfectly brilliant and sums up everything in an easy to digest way. I have tears in my eyes from the feelings of gratitude I have for you Brian for taking this on and publicising these problems to a wider audience xxx :angel:

    Thank you so much for these words @Sbag. It is very humbling to hear this. I hope I can provide some service, and do all the issues justice

    Many thanks. That would be fine with me. Let me know if you get to do this. In due course I want to superimpose my slides onto the video, so that viewers can better follow what I'm saying. When I get the time...... ;)
