Those people who do not currently give blood and are able to should seriously consider doing so!
this is gonna hit supplies quite badly i think (eg my brother gives every 16 weeks and has a rare type but can no longer do so due to receiving a transfusion when i was 9!)
as fast driving people we should consider the fact that we may well need blood ourselves one day!

I don't think they'd appreciate my blood-type, it's a 50/50 mix of blood & vodka.

Nah mate- when you go to donate for the first time they take your blood donation, plus about three tiny samples to test to see if its ok etc, and then get ur blood type from that etc.
I'm AB positive

You only have to wait 1 year after having a tatoo or piercing before you can give, so no more of this "Can't, got Tatoos" pish.
