marzman Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 Nice one pal, my missus is in ICU at salford, its times like these that make you know its worth the effort Working or a patient? If the latter, then good luck and i really hope she's ok. We've had some very sad times in there this year. Quote

M13KYF Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 been giving blood for 20 years. Well done you can progress to platelets, takes a bit longer but you can do it more often, plus sit and drink/eat while donating Quote
Zedrush Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 why do they say that if you have a tatoo you cant give blood for a whole year? Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 Guessing possible infections. Jay, hope your other half gets better soon I remember giving blood in Kuwait.... £200+ a visit depending on your blood group... Quote

Gaz Walker Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Good on you. Really should follow in my dad's footsteps and do this, he donated for nearly 50 years right up till he was 70 a before the age limit was lifted in January. I applaud anyone who does this Quote
Husky Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 now you mention it i gave blood like i said i would aswell took me well under 5 mins giving blood superman i am Quote
Lexx Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Been wanting to do this for years, but unfortunatly Ive spent the past 10 years going to countries on the list that you aint allowed to donate if youve been to. Should be able to start in April though Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Well done buddy I think everyone should do this 'myself included' Quote
