SportingShooter 0 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 As Above, I am off ,as usual every six months to give blood to the Welsh Blood Service. I think it is both important and satisfying to give blood and to be honest, it doesn't take an awful lot of effort to do so. If they are around mid-week then you may just get yourself a paid afternoon off work. How many do though? Regards SS Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Waz 4,274 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 I GAVE blood a good few times back in the UK, but im now abroad and they wont let me as I was in the UK when the ol BSE crisis was in full swing. When I was a 6 year old I was in a bad RTA & needed a fair few pints, the only way I could repay those donors was to follow their good example. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 I used to give blood twice a year, regular as clockwork, but I haven't been for a while now. Must get back into going. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SportingShooter 0 Posted July 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 if they came to my house no problem.Im not going out my way and hospitals stink They normally have them within a few miles of your home and very rarely in hospitals, more often than not they either have a Coach which they take to big offices and such as well as using Church Halls, Community Centres and so on. You cant expect them to come to your house to get 1 pint of blood, it would drain their resources. Regards SS Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Life will always be full of givers and takers. Sometimes a taker bobs to the top and we all have to recognise it. I gave blood like clockwork. Once I sussed out that having a pint of beer afterwards felt like ye'd had three, I ended up leading a cheering posse down there each time too! Got over here and walked smack into a brick wall. BSE. They wouldn't touch my blood. Fair play to them. Pat and Noel feed their cattle grass. Not sheeps brains.
