Is it true that your sperm bank is overdrawn?

How efficient is kleenex as a storage medium, or is that just for practice?

I'm a Lancastrian, I wouldn't give them the steam of my piss!

But seriously, being of type "B+" I donate blood regularly, you never know when you might need some back...

Amazingly being A- I am rarer than B+ - I am stunned. Quite bad news in fact.

Mind you I am still not rare enough to be allowed to donate 4 times a - bah!

I am not allowed to give blood in NZ as I lived in the UK during the mad cow scare.

When I get back to NZ, I am going to start my own blood bank at the local hospital, its free and seems a good way of making sure I have a bit there for emergencies. Plus I have a blood type which means I can give to people not of my type, so will be handy if wife or babies need it (although I wonder if I will be allowed to give it to family even considering the mad cow thing...)

thank goodness this thread can get back to the point...

They certainly used to. The second time I donated, I watched, and it hurt. I don't look any more and there's no pain.

Having had major surgery and had needles stuck into every possible part of my anatomy, I have no fear of needles. ( I also have no feeling in some of my fingers, so I don't worry about the pinprick tests either ). But I'm very grateful to blood donors - thanks peeps.

Yep, I gave blood about 2 weeks ago and watched as she stuck the needle in me. She wiggled it about a bit which did kinda hurt though.
