for he to-day that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother

donated blood today.  less painful than last time -- they've got the armrests high enough, here, that i think my elbow hyperextends a bit, which makes the process hurt quite a lot.  i wriggled in the cot until i was able to relax my arm a little, and it was better.  i learned that Blood Services UK won't allow me to donate after i've been in the US between May and September, because of West Nile virus -- !!!  but they only want a person to wait a month after getting back, which isn't that long, really.  not like the Red Cross banning me for life (or until further notice) because i was in britain between 1980 and 1996.  (dratted vCJD.  develop a reliable test, i tell you!  grar!)

Now I'm picturing the US and Britain going "I ban you" "no, I ban you!" "I ban you first!" "well, I ban you back!"

Far more civilized over there, isn't it?

Hee. I like the "I ban you!" "No I ban you first!" bit above. Hee.
