Giving Blood

Very weird behaviour and a very strange postā€¦

Cheers mate

I knew you wouldnā€™t be long crawling out from under your rock to take a pop. Consistent as always anyway.

Using the blood disease of an internet acquaintance of yours as a means to strike up a conversation with a young nurse is strange behaviour @Mac
If truth be told Iā€™d say you told her that you had friends with hemocrotises, didnā€™t you @Mac, you strange little big nosed man.

Maybe you could pay more attention to the original post where youā€™d see me mention that she brought it up in conversation. The clinic I was in opens on Fridays only for those suffering from hemochromatosis. She mentioned this and the conversation went from there.

I know you think that youā€™ve to spend money to get people who arenā€™t married to you or carrying your kids to listen to you but Iā€™d encourage you to give it a try with someone sometime. You might surprise yourself.

@Mac I donā€™t believe a word of that.

You should show her Frans graph the next time youā€™re in.

Good for you mate. I tend not to believe a lot of what you post here either but you seem to be lacking in confidence most of the time so its nice to let you plough on once it makes you feel good about yourself.

The whole idea of making stuff up to try look good or sound interesting to strangers on the internet is a bit odd if Iā€™m honest. Iā€™m not quite sure why anyone would do it and donā€™t really have the interest to understand it either.

Just be yourself kid. If that means relaying the life story of an internet persona to a person in real life then itā€™s a bit weird to me but if thatā€™s you then thatā€™s you.

It may seem weird to you but some people actually post the truth and real life stuff on here. Iā€™ll leave that with you for a while to ponder over.

@Fagan_ODowd, @Fran are the haemachromatosis clique allowed give blood now?

Met a pal yesterday who may have hemochromatosis and had to reduce his red meat consumption.
He told me it is the most common inherited gene disorder in Northern Europe because those with hemochromatosis had resilience to the bubonic plague

Iā€™m giving that an informative rating despite the misspelling of haemochromatosis and a query around why it wasnā€™t posted on the appropriate thread.

One led to the other.

Itā€™s that time again. The local remote centre is packed to the gills with people. Encouraging to see such a strong turnout.

Shocked and saddened to see that the last time I gave blood was Jan 2016. For shame.

About to donate, feeling good about it, must do more regularly this year

One of my few regrets in life. Got the auld hepatitis when I was a chap and that put pay to that

Munching on a few custard creams before I donate. My blood count is at 13.7 which is good, Iā€™m told

All done. Having the auld cup of coffee, chocolate biscuits and taytos. Lovely Oz nurse attended to me and spoke about politics
