British blood not good enough for America

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Its not our fault we might have been eating infected meat in burgers we bought in McDonalds and Burger King. Most of us wont know if we have contracted vCJD for another 20 years at least. Contaminated blood products , my arse , the US exported the stuff worldwide without screening for years before Mad Cow Disease.

My British blood isn't good enough to be taken in this country, far less any other.

For how many reasons?

I'm doubly disbarred in Ireland, possibly trebly - I don't know what length of time they need to define "living" in the UK.

only if you beleive the fear mongers. its quite obvious the epidemic hasn't and isn't going to happen. as for eating in McD's the irony there is it was probably South American beef processed in the US anyway.

Whenever I give blood I INSIST none of it is given to Yanks (or Palarse fans).

When I give blood I INSIST that whoever gets it pays for it, into my bank account via paypal.

and the buggers still only give us a packet of crisps and a cup of orange squash.

 

[Frutos]

For how many reasons?

According to the National Blood Service website, 3 at present.

One of those will, as it stands at the moment, 'expire' in about 3 months or so, the other two are permanent barriers.

Thats the NHS for you, personally I use BUPA.

Why not just get treated by the NHS and then book into a REALLY expensive hotel - it will provide much the same result.

If you've slept with a woman who's slept with a man who might have slept with another man you're not allowed. If you've accepted sex as payment you can't donate. etc.

How the hell am I meant to know if a woman I've slept with has slept with a man who might bat for boths sides ? Do they expect you to ask FFS !

And I can't see anyone admitting they've accepted sex as payment when they fill in the form !

If you wine and dine a young lady, who then shows her appreciation does that count as sex as payment?

Good question ! If you're married and your wife doesn't work is she paying you with sex to keep a roof over her head ?

It's not good enough for the French either. Same rules apply here in France. Both my wife and I have been turned down as blood doners.

It's alright, it's just the ladies (that might have slept with a man who's slept with a man) you've slept with in the last twelve months
