I have been giving blood since about 1985. f**k me. 38 years? I think it takes normal people only a few minutes. You should probably have a different nurse come in and see if they can find a better vein. |

Couldn't give blood here for ages cos, same as the US Auz and most other places, they saw British blood as tainted, they changed that a couple years back. Yep I believe Australia rolled their rules back last year. I think the USA still has the ban in place or did last time the topic came up when discussing with a Yank friend (admittedly a while ago.) I think we’re allowed to now in the US. But it was a pain to donate in Massachusetts which seemed to have weird hours and schedules for clinics. Now I’m usually in civilisation I’m going to see if I can donate my pure elixir of youth to people who’re desperate for it. |

I bet the Queen's lungs would do well on eBay.

I used to drink in The Queens Lungs. Lovely little pub.

Well I think you're all hilarious, but that's always the case after a bottle of port.

Fun fact - I have never tried Port in my life. Is it like sweet red wine?

Port's great. A bit too great. It's easy to sit and knock it back.

Porto is also great, which means you can have a doubly great long weekend.

Agreed. It also has one of the greatest bridges in the world, the Dom Luís I Bridge which, rather spookily, is a doubly great bridge.

It's terribly dangerous for pedestrians though.
