I managed to give blood without feeling like I was going to pass out! So pleased I'm O Negative so get phone calls sometimes asking me to donate.  Being scared of passing out in the chair I've one done it once before. I think I can do more often now.

I did it for the first time Wednesday.  I was pleasantly surprised by how many people turned up for the event.  

I'll definitely be doing it again.

Yeah I used to do it for a while then I passed out successively two times in a row, the latter time I nearly face planted the bed, have been told not to bother  at least for a while! Annoying as I really liked the free biscuits.

Good on you guys, and anyone else who gives blood. I had to have a blood transfusion earlier this year (which means I can't give blood now) so I'm extra appreciative of your efforts! 

Something that cheered me was signing into this forum and seeing that Paddy posted here. We went to school together, and I remember a few of us from school hanging out in the cabin at the end of his garden, playing pool, drinking beers and listening to music (we were so cool...). I was looking through the Hall of Fame and it was really great reading the posts about him and seeing how well his was liked on these forums.
