I can imagine you sitting there at the red cross all smug until the nurse comes back and tells you your blood is contaminated with HIV.

Good luck living with AIDS gimp.

Well I'm better then everyone else still.

And on a serious note, does it hurt? How much should I eat before I go - I just had my cerial and milo.

Slight jab stings a wee bit, thats about it, As long as you've eaten something you will be ok, I went out on the piss one time after giving blood, got pissed on half the drink, it was great

I heavily considered going out to capitalise on the cheap factor tonight.

I gave blood once. The nurse looked at my face when she brought the needle and said "you know what, we will give you the kiddie needle". Not my proudest moment.

same.

rimaldo · 25th June 2008, 01:54

the trick is to get the cookie before they take your blood, that way you can then bail before they can get the needle in you. you do need to be fit enough to out run the nurse though.

cesc's_mullet · 25th June 2008, 03:41

Well that was surprisingly easy.

I'm amazed they pumped that much blood out of me in that short amount of time, was rather unnerving seeing the back rock back and forth slowly inflating.

Good conscience, free OJ, pepsi, cheese & crackers and cake. Well worth it.

I'm better than the lot of you. I've got hemochromatosis. Too much iron in the blood. To fix it they'll have to drain me regular. Might be up to 2x a week

which will make me a saint compared to you selfish, blood hoarding lot. A pale and somewhat wobbly saint.

..."This process is called phlebotomy, which means removing blood the same way it is drawn from donors at blood banks. Based on the severity of the iron overload, a pint of blood will be taken once or twice a week for several months to a year, and occasionally longer..."

http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddise....htm#treatment

Not best pleased and I wouldn't have thought it possible to give that much. We'll see.

Funny thing is they've never taken my blud in the past as they reckon it could be plaguey. Was in China for SARS, Thailand and Cambodia for bird flu, and Borneo (malaria). They even turned me down once for having lived in England during mad cow. Also I'm drunk a lot. I guess they might let me keep the stuff, which will add up. Could sell it to PETA to let them throw it at women wearing fur. Contaminate crime scenes. Some sort of life insurance scam, perhaps. Ideas would be welcomed. I'll have gallons of the stuff. I could mail you some if you like.

Bloody hell.

I'm a regular donor as well...

I like where you're going with that. I too may have to look into this.

On a serious note, tough times for you mate.

brad-dyrak · 25th June 2008, 05:49

Cheers. They haven't started yet.

There'll be nowt left of me. I'm pasty already.

Donado · 25th June 2008, 07:04

One of my friends had a low platelet count iirc...so had to give my blood for that a few months ago.I'm shit scared of needles and I'd never even taken a blood test in my life before that if I could help it.

I felt quite proud of myself.That needle they shoved in my arm for close to 40 mins was fat as fuck.

SmashedHombre · 25th June 2008, 08:44

I want to give blood, but I'll admit I'm nervous about it. It really does seem an awful lot of blood they take

giving sperm is a hell of a lot easier and if you're lucky the hot male receptionist will help you out if you're struggling. i always pretend to struggle even though im perfectly capable of doing it by myself. he doesn't suspect a thing.

el eric · 25th June 2008, 09:14

i was always afraid to give it but when my young cousin beacme seriously ill a few years ago she required a lot of blood so i felt i should start donating. I give every 3 months now and work always give me a few hours off to do it and you get a free glass of Guiness for doing so.

its something everyone should do really

Thats my excuse aswell, until someone asked if I'd have the same problem if I needed a blood transfusion...

el eric · 25th June 2008, 09:32

obviously most here are using the needles as the excuse that they dont give blood, when really we all know its because youre gay.

unless its just an Irish thing that gays cant give blood?? i'm not sure.
