        nostrils

        With an attitude like that you're almost undeserving of a transfusion should you ever need one.

            I used to donate when I was a permie and they would visit the premises to collect, but I haven't since I have been contracting.

            I always found it good to go out on the lash in the evening after giving blood - they have taken away 12% of your blood so you can get 12% more pissed*.







            *I know that the maths is not quite right there but I wasn't being serious.

              they should pay people, because if they ain't got enough blood than obviously incentives are needed

              there's nowt more efficient than the market.

                  Of course "O" type blood can be given to anyone so you are a universal donor.

                    So am I. I detest needles. But I have forced myself through 61 donations now.
