Public Service Announcement

A friend of mine is currently in hospital after several operations. She's feeling quite woozy, but has done her best to try to avoid needing blood transfusions, because she has O+ blood and donates blood regularly and this would knock her off the donor list.

If you've not given blood before, please have a look at the National Blood Service website and see if you could go and donate.

I know some of you cannot donate for various reasons (have had transfusions before, have trypanophobia or similar, have had sex with men / have had sex with men who've had sex with men). But those of you who can donate, and haven't gone along to a session - I encourage you to go along to a session near you (you can find out when and where your local sessions are).

If you are in Cambridge I am happy to go along with you to a session for moral support and talking rubbish at you beforehand and buy you a drink later. (Remember, lower blood content = get drunk faster, perhaps a bonus? :)
