I think that's just been lifted.

I have a nearly 16 year old Thai step-grandson with Thalassemia. He's had about 30 blood transfusions in his life as he makes crap blood. I'm very grateful for those who donate blood in Thailand.
Hit the bronze award today for 10 donations, only 7mins 40 seconds for extraction.
Felt a bit dizzy since, almost pissed like.
Sunderland supporter?
It's the same age in Laos, but I lie about my age The nurse/registration staff never ask to see your passport, so when asked for my date of birth I sort of go "...er....." as I work out a suitable year. I'm now touching 65 and I've been lying to them for the past 6 years or so! Last time the nurse said "you seem to be younger than last time" and smiled knowingly....Same goes for me. Why the fcuk don't they put a sign up indicating the cut off age? 60 in Ting Tong Land.
The reason I give lie is firstly because I'm reasonably fit and healthy and secondly the shortage of blood here in Luang Prabang is acute. When the kids smash themselves up their motorbikes the call goes out by telephone for those on 'the list' to come to the hospital asap to donate blood. I'm on the list as being contactable 24/7.
I also get a free t-shirt each time I donate blood, which means that I have avoided buying a new shirt for the past 5 years
Groping women when you're old is fine - everyone thinks you're senile
Good show Simon.
I think the cut off age in the UK is 70 , that's if you've been a regular donor.
