Caterpillar Apr 2009 10:11pm, 2 Apr 2009 3,551 posts	0 Caterpillar Well done Old Croc! They don't want my platelets. I haven't got enough apparently. I've got 200. How many does a guy need? Oh well. I tried.
Caterpillar Apr 2009 10:15pm, 2 Apr 2009 3,552 posts	0 Caterpillar HellsBells - do you mean you haven't got enough blood? That's a result! Running for a week or two after being sucked dry is hard work, but your conscience is clear. You did your duty and they don't need you. Well done. They still need me unfortunately, though not for platelets apparently.
