Thumbs up Become an Organ Donor

Just in case this is something you've always meant to do, but never quite got around to doing, here's the link if you fancy registering. It takes about 2 minutes.


NHSBT - Organ Donation -


For the guys who do this sort of thing, a Donor Card saves critical minutes in which time an organ's usefulness can expire. Definitely worth registering, hopefully to then forget about.

I went to give blood some years ago, but they turned me away, I did get tea and a biscuit though. Dont think they would want my bits due to previous illnesses.
I would if I could though.

Or do what I have done and donate yourself to Medical Research, you only need a consent form which you get from any medical school.

From the stories I've heard about what medical students get up to with cadavers, I'm happy to remain an organ donor.

You got to think of the positives, imagine if you have a load of fit young junior female doctors, who, by pure chance are into a bit of necrophilia.

Sex after death is my sort of style.
