I still have my old Tags and wear them here, one on my boot and one around my neck, at least they have a chance of finding one of them! - Still O Pos.

The fact that I have Hepatitis from my murky past has prevented me from being a blood donor, even though I am a strong supporter of the practise.

Apparently, anyone getting my blood would have a bad time of it! I can take but cannot give! Jeez, I sounded just like my ex-wife there for a second.

Not sure of the benefits of the BM's putting their blood group on thier profiles really has much use! Realistically, what proportion of the Forums BM's are in Phuket at any one time! The idea of donating a couple of pints on your next trip over seems like a good one to me though!
