Needless to say, it didn't go well for me. :( Many years ago, I made the mistake of giving blood the day before I was to undertake the “physical agility” tests for a fire department I was trying to get hired by.

I think the Blood Service have recognised that there is a problem, so you can now make appointments. That speeds things up for those of us who have planned ahead. Of course, this is the first time I've actually <em>made</em> an apoointment! Heh – so when the new army of Zombie Dominics get onto the streets, I’ll know who to blame!

They made it so bloody difficult to do what amounts to doing them a favour: Waiting lines of over an hour, being told (not asked) to come back later because it would be more convenient for them. . . I was disenchanted already, and then the company I work for put out a request for blood donors: For their medical research, they need fresh human blood. (I'm assured that is *is* for research, and not for the Senior Executives' bar ;) ) So I switched from letting the blood service have my blood for transfusions, to letting a pharmaceutical company have it so they can try & get new treatments onto the market. It's still helping people out, but I'm in & out in 20mins. And they do better biscuits afterwards :) I no longer give to the blood service..
