    I am terrified of injections.
    And yet, you'd be a lot less terrified if you needed a few pints of the stuff.

      "Captain Harris," I said.

      "Yes Sir.", he said.

        I assume if you need a few pints you would be unconscious?

          re: giving blood in the States - you can't, or in Europe for that matter. You're an infected Brit (with mad cow's disease).

          Used to give regularly whilst living in the UK. Tried to give once in Europe, but they said "you're British, you're not allowed due to BSE"

              Went once with work - but was refused.
              They don't want mine, which is a pity as needles hold no fear for me.

                  I’m not allowed to give blood in NL as I spent several years living in Britain; something to do with exposure to BSE.

                  Moo.
