Right, we're meeting at the Epsom Blood Centre at 5pm (71 Great South Road). You might need blood one day - best to pay it forward.

After we've been bled dry, we'll rock on over to mine, and the 125s will kick off promptly.

Any questions or you don't know where mine is, drop me a text/call on 021 --- ----. :headbang:

Last time it was not even you in the hot seat and you did not want to think about it! Good on you for going back :sunny:

I reckon this is an awesome idea, was thinking about it two days ago when I was on the tram. The thought went something like this: 'MMmm, let's bake a cake. Hmm, wonder when the SMC blood run is going to be, that would be a good time for baked goods'

High five guys, will be there next time for sure!

[Squiggles]

And a bump so it appears on the forum index...

[R6_kid]

I'll be there, I think I'm clear for my next donation as of the day before anyway!

[The Pastor]

considering i work just above the place, i might be able to swing by

[Squiggles]

Thats 4 now, i shall contact them tommorrow to check all is g on their end.

They have been informed, now to get a few more donors...

[Real_Wolf]

I got really weird blood veins, they struggle to get blood out :P

[motorbyclist]

I'm keen - when they were around uni asking for donors i would've gone but had a cold: no excuses this time! (unless this sore throat returns)

[Phurrball]

Sounds good - what was the kick off/meeting time at the blood centre?

I'm not at work on Tues, so I could tag along with someone as I'm not sure where the blood donor centre is...

I'll bleed for the cause...If I think of parking wardens I'll be done in half the time...:shit:

[Squiggles]

Bumping this into view... you going to donate real wolf?

[Real_Wolf]

nah. Also still need a few things done on the bike, painting and getting a footpeg tomorrow though so might be operational in time, depends on how well the wheel actually goes, and how easy it is to fix.

As for the blood, nah, when they stick a needle into my arm theres this valve that cuts off the blood, gives excruciating pain and can't actually get any blood out. Rather not do that again

[Phurrball]

Bad news :weep:

I called the blood service today...

I announced my underlying health conditions - Q "Why was your thyroid removed?" A "Thyroid cancer".

So I'm not allowed to give blood...probably not ever from what I gathered.

Sad, as the risk is so small as to be theoretical since I've been cancer free for a couple of years now...

I'll still be along to support, I'll be the bikkie boy and run around after the exsanguinated ones!

[Deano]

I heard they are quite desperate for blood - I get a phone call now asking to make an appointment......


must be cause I'm A+ eh ?!! Fucken A....first A+ I ever got....lol

[Danae]

LOL my black belt grading is the next day. Still gonna give blood tho

[motorbyclist]

[Danae]

I don't think they're too fussy usually but with the whole swine flu thing they may be a bit more picky than usual.

[Hanne]

[Danae]

(I think if you go for the second tiem you even get a free fridge magnet. How cool is THAT?!)

Andrew had a serious case of the sniffles and several others had mad cow, so about half the people that turned up actually gave blood. True SMC style lol :laugh:
