My friend donated for the first time and managed to get dizzy and went very white and was put into the recovery position. Typical!

But now it's icky.. I don't feel much but it's just icky! So yes, I'm scared of donating blood.
My dad did once or twice though.. they kept pestering him about returning for a year when they gave up (I think, perhaps they started emailing him instead).
Yeah how much is it? Not for me obviously.
Not in britain they don't.
However, if you're female and give eggs, they give you up to £8,000.
Anyways - there's a possibility that a little (half) you would be running around in a couple of year time. Wouldn't that make you think twice before donating?
But, yes. I'm going to give blood in August, i really want to but can't before then - i had a piercing done at Reading last year and you have to wait a whole year before giving blood in case you got something.
It is because my biology teacher told us that in uni most men live off the money! - its very well paid something like £50 a time
My bio teacher also said he could never do it as he may be talking to someone some day who is his little version ewww:p
I'd have a wank for £50. :yes:
That was my mates excuse for not giving blood! He said his pint would end up like a pint of guinness- straight from his veins would ooze a tar black liquid (from all the fags) with a head and a similar alcohol content. I think i'd have to agree with him.
