I just gave 3/4 of a pint away!

So who here gives blood regularly? Its a purely voluntary thing in the UK. I'm not sure what the arrangements are in the US, but your movies give the impression that you only give blood when youre short of cash and desperate to make the rent.

For some reason they only take 3/4. I think it must be do do with size of the bags - at least they're not falling for the whole canvas bags thing - that would be messy!

For a long time I was disqualified because I had recently gotten a tattoo and/or piercing and there's a waiting period after each time you do it. It's been a while since I've done any of that, but I'll have to look into it.

They kept appearing anytime I had a cold for the last couple of years, so a while since I've been. Hoping they might bring a mobile unit to my new place, 'cos am too much of a scaredy cat to go alone to the sessions near home.

Wuss!

Actually, I went to the one on the other side of town even though they have regular sessions in the community centre near my office. What with the old men pooing in the street and Granny prowling for victims and the general weirdness and scumminess of the area, I think it was the right choice.

Not socialists any more, Ben. Now the country is run by two camp antiques dealers who hate each other's guts!

Unless you like ropey sit-com setups:

Meet David. He's a very gay antiques dealer. And now meet Nick. He's a gay antiques dealer too! And now they're running the country! Cue: Hilarity!

I should do it - but I tend to forget - which is naughty

A US pint = 473.2 ml
A UK pint = 568.3 ml
3/4 of a UK pint = 426.2 ml (but they take 450 ml in fact in a UK donation)

...so there's actually not a lot in it. I can make him bleed the further 23 ml if you want evileye

Oh Ben. Your tiny pints have made me lose a little bit of respect for you. 23ml less respect as it happens...

Yes gallons are smaller in the US... 3.8 litres to our 4.5 litres.

You got a bargain in that an American didn't go entertain your women while you were here...You'd likely have found the locks changed when you got home...And if you'd made a side trip to Conroe while you were here, I could have treated you to quarts of chile and barbecue that's so good it'd make you slap your momma...

Metric and Whitworth systems are for sissies...spaz...Ben

No such thing as a side trip in Texas... everything is 500 miles away - including the bathroom.
