    maybe he's a man who has sex with other men.
    maybe he is a intravenous recreational drug user.
    maybe he lived in england during the BSE scandal.
    maybe he has hepatitis, or took a blood transfusion from blood that wasn't adequately screen for hepatitis.
    maybe he travelled in asia or africa where mosquitos carry plasmodium and he may have malaria.
    maybe he hadn't eaten a meal within 2 hours.
    maybe his irons levels were too low.

    As far as I know he lived in the UK during that time period so that's why.

    Just a word of 'woo hoo' to the drunk lad at the races, I hear he's a fellow businessman, for the greatest laugh I've had in many at time.

    I don't think foot and mouth disease has anything to do with it. It's due to the mad cow disease (Bovine spongiform encephalopathy) epidemic in Britain. The infectious agent - prions - that cause this disease in cattles causes vCJD (Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease) in humans and is transmissible by blood donation.

    During 1980-1996 people were not tested for it and are may be asymptomatic. There is a tiny chance blood donors/recipients have the disease and are thus excluded from donating. There is also a small chance you contracted the disease from eating contaminated meat.

    foot and mouth is something else entirely, a highly infectious viral disease that affects cattle, sheep, deer, pigs and goats (plus other cloven hoofed animals) which can be transmitted by humans as a non-carrier vector but really is zoonotic.

    That's what I meant to say,
    Mad Cow Disease,
    I was a youth at the time and remember the pandemic.
    Haven't looked into it since,
    Just know I can't give blood.

    Ah don't feel too bad Chris, I got pysched up to get my blood taken despite having a horrible fear of needles and got turned away too so there are two of us!

    Sad thing is, if they don't pass the law saying our blood is safe, we can't become organ donors either, which I really want to get a card for.. :/

    Tis only from a camera phone, I'd say it'd take a proper camera to do it justice, was awesome!

    not sure what this has to do with the happy days ul thread but it looks good , Since ul has'nt been in exstance for 50 years let alone 500 years like Cambridge it is like comparing a 40 year old professional with a graduate .

    Now the students are mostly gone, UL is ridiculously quiet for a little bit and a walk around campus is even more relaxed than normal, you'd never guess you were so close to the city - some awesome sunsets recently too.

    Anyone still hanging around the place should take the opportunity for a stroll around the place, across the Living Bridge and then back across University Bridge in time for the sunset.

    International students love the place because it's essentially a cosy holiday for them with Ber the travel rep. They don't need to do any work and they have these handsome irish men trying to ride them every friday night. TBH Ber the king should be getting money from their fees because he does a great job on friday nights whipping them into a frenzy.

    A third of our year failed Engineering Mechanics 1 (our fault, not his), our lecturer gave us a tutorial just after we were back to find out where we went wrong. He then (by himself) organised a repeat tutorial for all of us doing repeats yesterday. Six of us showed up. Still, he gaves us a two hour lecture/tutorial which has given me a lot of confidence about doing the repeat exam...

    While on crutches.


    We really do have some fantastic lecturers in the college.

    Dr. David Newport, I suppose it's not an issue posting as everyone in the year loves him! :D We're the worst engineering year ever, so it's not his fault a third of the year failed. Two thirds failed more than one subject... :( Still, one of, if not the best lecturer I've had to date! :)
