Oh! Thanks for the correction, I honestly thought Frederik Nice to see that Frederik took the time to meet him.

Frederik, and the rest of the DRF are most unlikely to ever being approved as blooddonors. The screening process is very strickt.
The DRF simply travel too much countries where there are various blood deceases, like malaria and so on. Travel to such a country means that the donor is put in quarantine.

I was retired as a bloodonor after twenty years because I was put on fairly harmless medication, but that was enough.
I have a common bloodtype myself, A+, so I was only called up every seven-eight months. Those with a rare bloodtype are called up more frequently or are on stand-by. - An employer cannot refuse an employee who has been called by the bloodbank and most in fact pay full salary, while the donor is away.
Having donated blood 200 times is very impressive indeed! I only manage 28 or so donations during my twenty years.

I was also a tissue donor and a bone-marrow donor. I was called a few times in order to donate blood plasma, because my profile was compatitable with a patient. Twice while I was at work. No problem. I was picked up and driven back by taxi.
I was on stand-by as a bone-marrow donor once, but either the patient made it, or he didn't...

Fortunately a lot of young people sign up as blood donors, but because of the strict rules and because young people often travel more or have unsafe sex and so on, they are often put in quarantine, so any new potential donor is recieved with open arms.

Each time a donor gives blood he has to fill out a entire page with questions and it's very easy to be rejected and that means you are put in quarantine for up to a year.

I would say his answer was "tongue in check" joking.

I have found Frederik to be anything but arrogant.

[dazzling]

Blue blood, I take that quite funny from Frederik. I don't think he is arrogant at all.

According to kongehuset that also has a picture, His Royal Highness Crown Prince opened on Tuesday 25 June, a new research station in northeast Greenland.

You can read more on it here

And a Greenlandic newspaper has a pic of Frederik showing off with his whip, after the inauguration of the research station at Daneborg: Kronprins Frederik svang pisken | Sermitsiaq.AG

Aarhus University also have a few pics: Aarhus Universitet

Actually Frederik is hitting and knocks over a bottle of champagne and in that way he inaugurated the new station. http://news.au.dk/uploads/pics/groenland_DSC0935_nl.jpg
Okay! It's all in the wrist, eh?

In this picture Frederik is posing from left with Minister for Education, Morten Østergaard. Minister for Nordic Affairs and Research, Nick Nielsen. (Oh, so that's how he looks. He's otherwise invisble). And head of the station, Niels Martin Schmidt. http://news.au.dk/uploads/pics/groenland_DSC0669_nl.jpg
The rifle is not necessary. The presence of the two ministers should be sufficient to ensure that any decent polar bear will turn away in disgust...

At the station: http://news.au.dk/uploads/pics/groenland_DSC0939_nl.jpg
It would appear Frederik has hurt his hand.

[Roskilde]

Thanks Dazzling and Muhler

You are never in doubt about how much Frederik love Greenland! (or the other way around) I wonder what he's been doing with his left hand.

Greenland has the most beautiful nature, would love to be able to experience it with my own eyes one day.
