Just got a text notification that the blood I donated not long ago has been issued to a local hospital for use

Noice.

I took a trip home last month and found my old blood donation card. I'd completely forgotten I'm a universal donor, O Negative. I haven't given blood in years, mainly because my travelling in various At Risk countries prohibited it, but I really should get donating now.

I donate for the unlimited biscuits and tea at the end

I've struck gold lads:

Every Argos Christmas catalogue since the 70s, online.

OH my Lord

It's not the same as holding a catalogue in your hand and ticking all the toys/games that you want. But it is still a massive nostalgia hit.

I'm not allowed to give blood because of this rule:

If you have had or think you have had a blood transfusion (or blood products) anytime since 1st January 1980 sadly, we cannot accept your blood.

This aims to reduce the possible risk of variant CJD (vCJD) being passed from donor to patient. However, just like our other rules regarding who can and who can't give blood, things can change. As new scientific information becomes available we will review the situation. This could mean either continuing with this ruling or asking people to return to donating. This is unclear at the moment.

My dirty tainted transfused blood means I don't get the free tea and biscuits.

Just lie on the form. Nothing stops this free biscuit train

It's easier and more moral to just shoplift biscuits.

[Victor Mildew]

But that means going to a shop. The blood van comes right to my door!

"Hello Mr mildew. Question 1 - have you been buggered senseless by a tramp infected with hepatitis in the past 24 hours?"

"...What flavour penguins have you got?"

"Mint"

"In that case, I have not"

"Please sit over here to give blood"

"Thanks. Have you got one of those donut cushions to sit on?"

"Any reason?"

"....Just. Just comfy innit."

I didn't even manage to get through the office door today before someone said "HAPPY FRIDAY! ".

People should lose pay for it.

[Kezzer]

My usual retort is " 3 days til Monday "

[Victor Mildew]

Morning everyone, happy Friday!

strawberry float. OFF.

[Mini E]

Are you sure that's not at a Pride event?

[Kezzer]

Pride Iraq?

Pretty sure a pride event in Iraq would constitute a protest.

I feel you are all missing the joke
