(I think that is a rather new one since I last gave three years ago.) I went ahead and said no to that question but despite these things, I thought I'd thank Damien for motivating me to do something after reading his blog. A nice change from just talking about doing things for once. They also don’t allow you to give blood if you handle monkeys or their fluids!

Due to a practice the IBTS publicly admit is discriminatory. And I'm O- also, which is the most widely usable (yet relatively rare) type too. Their loss, and possibly someone elses life lost.

I thought I was all alone in my banishment, how nice that I can share this burden ;) Have never felt so repulsive (even during the worst hangover) as when they said "I'm sorry, you've lived in malaria-ridden land, you may be a carrier, we can't take your blood..." - the idea that you can't help by donating is an awful one so if some kind soul with tons of time does organise something, I'd love to help out by helping them!

Alas they won't take my blood anymore - heart condition prevents that. It would be nice to think that if GM needed blood the Toyboys would queue up to help her!
