Donating Blood
September 11th, 2007 at 09:29pm
Good evening Stuart,
I listened with some interest to the interview you had with the lady from the red cross. I can only hope that the red cross people are a bit more precise than the woman who took a sample of my blood for medical purposes a couple years ago. It was bad enough that I had to provide blood when I'm not keen on needles, but the first time she tried nothing came out, then the second time the blood stopped half way through, the third time time she couldn't get any blood, and the fourth time she finally got the whole amount she needed, and I fainted while she was doing it!
Incidentally, you can add me to the list of people who have never voted for the Labor Party, and also to the list of people who have never voted for the Liberals. That being said, as this coming election will be my first vote, adding me to those lists probably doesn't say much.
Regards,
Samuel Gordon-Stewart

The blood stopped half way through? You must have very coagulent blood!
Is coagulent even a word?
I dont think it is.
But you get my meaning, I hope.

Could it mean you’re bloodless?

With all the drugs and disease cases around today is there really anyone who can give clean blood?
Gosh it’s like trying to find a clean white shirt in a mud cake factory.

No, certainly not.
