My, my. Cultured, aren't we?

Okay, that got me to laugh out loud -- thanks!

Cultured? Perhaps... but at the time I was just delirious with fear!

And, sadly, yes -- fucking boys, even once with a condom, will disqualify you for life from donating blood in the UK. If you are a boy, that is. Girls can get away with it, no problem. Pisses me off to no end, believe you me... especially because they are going to test the helavic out of the blood before transfusing it, anyway!
