Donate blood in Stafford.

[Gramaisc]

Blood donation session at the Rangers tomorrow.

If you do go along to this, then it's probably worth taking an ear-trumpet in order to have some chance of hearing your name called out above the inane cacophony of Smooth Radio - much more of that and I would have slit my wrists to speed up the flow.

Again, the appointment regime seemed to have little relevance to reality..

 

[age'd parent]

Been and done, couldn't hear my call and had to ask is it me,
all went well but I don't like drinking a pint of water before lying down,
60 pints, I must be empty by now!

Yes I know it's not pints, blame Tony Hancock

Blood donor session at the Rangers on Sunday the 8th. It was originally scheduled for the 1st, but it's gone back a week for some reason.

 

[age'd parent]

Yes, my form came through yesterday, open on the 8th, 10 to 12.15 and 13.45 to15.30.

Good call - I'd forgotten about this one already, I'll go book my appointment now

 

[age'd parent]

I never book an appointment, mainly cos i never know when I will be able to go,
but I have never waited more than 15 min anyway.

 

[Gramaisc]

Well, I just been for a pint at the Rangers and it's almost impressive that they could be running forty minutes late when they'd only been open for twenty five minutes. I did volunteer to faint and get rid of some of the queue.

Smooth Radio - sponsored by Dignitas?

How long does a Kindle battery last?

I'm just wondering why this is in the pubs and eating out section? It seems a bit

This section used to be called 'Out and About' - it didn't seem quite so strange then.

And - little known fact - they use any surplus to make black puddings.

I waited a hour this morning and didn't even get to finger prick status, gave up went back in afternoon and first in first out,
nice snacks there as well a strawberry bar and tea, almost stopped for two!

I'm rather partial to a nice black pudding

There will be a session at the Rangers on Sunday - 10:00 to 12:15 & 13:45 to 15:30 - and chaps are now allowed to donate four times a year again..

There is one at the Polish Club on Tuesday - 13:30 to 15:30 & 16:30 to 19:30 - if you can't wait.

Once more I shall bleed for the good old NHS.
As long as they promise to keep it just for the English.

Now that's much better than the tea and biscuits , though I must say the biccies have been nicer lately.

Mmm, true, but I would wonder about the provenance of the black pudding..

Will you be bringing your Kindle, in case of (predictable) delays?

 

[age'd parent]

I shall, though I hope I won't need the full 100 books on it.
I shall probably call in after the car boot experience.

 

[Gramaisc]

The delay was a little less than usual, but I did get in right at the start.

I was close to speeding up the process by slitting my wrists rather than listen to any more Smooth Radio at full blast. It's the same technique they used to flush Noriega out...
