      I couldn't for a while because I had some acupuncture and couldn't be bothered to get the certificates you need.

      Now go every 6-12 months (when it's convenient).

        I went once and failed on the "at risk of malaria due to travel" question
        One of my colleagues also failed a question, eventually he admitted to having thrush and then gave everyone the graphic detail of getting the swab down his japs eye at the clinic

          I don't, but you obviously do.

            It does indeed. Perhaps that's the next silly poll. Who's ever been to a clap clinic.

                Zero, but not for any of the reasons in the poll.
                If you find this post offensive, please insert "Chan" before and "tho" after, then it should be OK.

                  I used to but then got told I could not donate again as I'd had a blood transfusion in the '80's - they don't want Mad Cow blood.

                    They won't take anybody who has been on active duty either. One of my mates who is in the TA got called out to Iraq for 6 months and they won't touch him now after the army pumped his blood full of all sorts of tulip to counteract any chemical weapons that Saddam may have had.
