Does it have a cutoff date like the US guidelines do? It's 1977 here.

i'm not allowed to give blood ever thanks to ENGLAND and yr yen for cow brains
― GREAT JOB Mushroom head (gbx), Friday, 9 April 2010 12:25 (fourteen years ago) link
wow, i just double-checked and i really AM not allowed to ever give blood: i had thought the vCJD policy was "if you'd been in the UK w/in the last three years" which for me is practically a given. apparently it's actually "you are not eligible to donate if: From January 1, 1980, through December 31, 1996, you spent (visited or lived) a cumulative time of 3 months or more, in the United Kingdom (UK)"
that span pretty neatly covers the time of my life (born jan 81) when i was going to the UK for a month+ nearly every summer
sorry A-neg ppl, looks like i won't be sharing

think I'm not allowed to give blood because I spent two summers in Peru. forget for how long I am barred though. I would like a big snickerdoodle.

ok I got a doozy here
after the football match I saw tonight finished in a Charlton victory, I went to the train station and walked to the front of the platform
there I noticed a not unattractive young lady wielding a book and talking on her phone
however, there was to be a twist
while gesticulating, or reaching for her bag...the book spilt from her hand, and fell...over the platform edge!
her phone conversation became a lament for the book
"and now I've just dropped my book next to the tracks! I guess I won't be reading it then...'Stupid White Men' by Michael Moore..."
"it's not very good" quips your favourite half-cypriot cardiacs fanboy. "read the Al Franken book instead"
"someone's saying it's not very good!" she says. nonetheless, it would be a shame for her to be deprived brash left-wing rhetoric.
it is realised that nobody will have long enough arms, and the train is imminent. mooted suggestions include lowering her by her legs. someone else is all "I could swear she had a head when she went down there" and lols are had
suddenly, yours truly has a brainwave, and removes his shoes
he gets on his front and leans over the platform edge
there is general astonishment and consternation
the train we were waiting for was already late, and the book-dropper, still on the phone, designates herself train-watcher
then, our hero, holding his shoes by the toecaps, can just about reach the fallen tome with the heels
he manoeuvres it into an upright position, and then clamps a few pages
then, swinging his body around, he flips away from danger as the book falls to the platform
he picks it up and hands it to the lass, before nonchalantly re-shoeing
her thanks are met with a curt "no problem". her offer of the book is met with a firm (and true) "I already have a copy". she is still on the phone. "some gentleman has rescued my book!" she sounds awfully excited
one merely observes that it is a good thing one possesses size 13s
godspeed, ditzy one. jagger won't be there to save you every day

um i threaded a needle for a lady at work
― harbl, Tuesday, 13 April 2010 22:55 (fourteen years ago) link
i also hung a coat hook for her because she was not tall enough to reach
so u risked (to a v small degree) death/dismemberment/electrocution to retrieve a terrible book?
― nakhchivan, Tuesday, 13 April 2010 22:57 (fourteen years ago) link
part of my reasoning for going ahead was that it would have been a deliciously ironic death given the book-title
plus there were like 20 gawping onlookers primed to yell TRAIN if it appeared...as it turned out, it arrived like 2 minutes later
as for electrocution, the third rail is always on the far side from the platform in stations

and remind her that he was a size 13 shoe, let's not forget
― Jesse James Woods (darraghmac), Tuesday, 13 April 2010 23:01 (fourteen years ago) link
lol it wasn't even to impress her so much, it was more out of a genuine desire to see if I could reverse the bizarre and unfortunate situation of a book fallen to irretrievable ground
plus there was a BIG audience, always helps
oh you, dmac

they are prone to talking like they are from an 18th century dictionary with all the words with 2 syllables or less removed. also they support charlton.
....they're commonly frustrated with the range of footwear available to choose from during the sales?

Ive been covering a brother whose long term disability got stopped two months before Christmas, finally got word today that hes back on some other payment.
No other way around it but im not going to see any of it back and its just the wrong time for it to have come up what with deposits and costs, but its not his fault and hes in a fragile state often enough and yknow what are you gonna do.

as someone who has received help from family for a while, by doing that you've absolutely allowed him to see brighter days than he otherwise would have in the future, and you should feel very good about it.
