[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

They ask lots of personal questions about your sex life when you first go.........................questions like....................do you take it up the ......and have you had ............with another man..

and what was the reply....

That.........I'am very old fashioned ...................and only like girlies.

[ians]

... and what a strange experience it was too! Once they had drained their pint I started to get very sweaty and faint   they had to put cold cloths on me and all sorts - has anyone else had this?

Other than my funny turn it wasn't too bad really. I hope it is of some use to someone!

You'll probably be fine next time,  although they will make a fuss over you for the next few sessions.

Who gets Waginwheels only a Penguin for me if I'm lucky

Yeah I hope I should feel better next time. No Wagon Wheels for me though...? Only some short bread biscuits, some Hula Hoops and 3 pints of Squash!!

Well done... I give every time I am allowed, so every 16 weeks and I think you can reduce it to 12 once a year :-/ :-/ :-/

Which reminds me, I must be due again soon

[largecol]

Yup, got me bronze card about 2 years ago, but not given for about 18months due to tattoo and holiday. Due to go next time though - June i think.

You should have seen the reaction when I told them I'd given a pint/arm full when in Mombassa - the Aids capital of the world.

[Andy B]

just checked online, yes 26 donations, but havent done it in over a year for health reasons - invasive investigations (ouch)

eligiable again on 12th May!  but nothing local till August, sods law!

how did you find out the total units you've given?  :-?

[redelitev6]

I was in hospital a few years ago as i had some internal bleeding in my stomach,had to have 3 units of blood to get me sorted .A while ago i tried to give blood to return the favour ,only to be told i couldn't as i had an increased risk of CJD ! nice. There is also an issue with organ donation,so i'm no use to anyone! no doubt about it though,giving blood is a vital service so keep up the good work !

[HolyCount]

My local vampires dobbed me in to my GP last time I tried to give blood ---- had a very (VERY) high BP    Funny tho -- they treated me like an unexploded bomb !!!!

Anyways -- not allowed to give anymore    So the missus gives hers instead  

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

After a certain amount of deposits they give you a Gold Card Honestly they really do my sister has one!!

Yup, 50, I just had Silver (for 25)

The awards :

I only have a red card................according to this I should have at least a blue card and some keyrings......I shall ask about this next time I donate.
Although ...............last time I went they gave me a slate mug coaster............with all the blood groups on it.........for giving 3 times in the last year.

[Ghost]

The first time I gave Blood was as I was in training in the army, everything whent well right up to the point where you get your cup of tea and a biscuit, then I keeled over like a bag of bolts, I Blamed it on the tea. Keep up the good work for the Vampires ladies & gents, Good on ya.

Similar to me Platty.
I gave blood once.It made me feel very unwell .I think that I almost passed out. :-/ :-/ :-/
I would not give again as it does not suit everybody.But well done to those who give blood on a regular basis.Where would we be without people like you.
