Isn't that business as usual? 

Yeah - 851 years and counting

Well at least they are asking nicely this time

In any case time to step up Sheilbh!

they'll trade the Irish for some potatoes

Because of potatoes there are plenty of Irish living in Britain now.

[alfred russel]

I'm B+!

[Grey Fox]

My kids & gf are all O+

I'm a useless A+ to the British.

I'm O+, but we have no more colonies to lose so I'm not sure Brits are interested in drawing Spanish blood anymore.

Actually I'm an O+ too!

There's a total ban in the US I think. The UK it's just if you're an active homosexual.

[Admiral Yi]

Dang, didn't know that.

I'm seeing it's banned unless "abstinent for at least a year."

In Canada you can not give blood if you're a man who had sex with another man in the last 3 months (and yes, it would appear not to worry about lesbians).  Was changed last year.

Well holy shit, how idiotic is that? Ah well.

[celedhring]

You made me check if that happens in Spain; it was reversed in 2005.
