Been doing it for a couple of years now, nothing to it! Most painful bit is taking the plaster off afterwards

I've been a blood donor since I was old enough to donate. 3 reasons.

1. Biscuits
2. I might need some back sometime
3. When I worked at Ford it gave you an hour off to indulge number 1.

a- if that means anything?

Over 50 pints for me so far, not allowed to donate at the moment because of my knee op, 3 months I think. Hopefully be on the bike this week to see if knee is ok on the 1100, if not its time for a GS!!

I can't donate in the UK because of my frequent trips to Texas where West Nile virus is endemic.
I can't donate in Texas because I lived in the UK in the 1980's where we all ate cow brain burgers full of nasty preons or something.

I don't know which is going to kill me first.

Not quite a bronze, but same boat wi meds for me,
I'm 'O'neg as well, so you'd think they could 'filter' out the medication somehow given how desperate they are for that blood type, musn't be worth the effort surely

shame, 'cause I'd happily keep donating

A neg - I had the little green card saying mine was of a type not often encountered or words to that effect
