Dear Mr Nipple,

It's a special thing to give blood at any time but managing to give blood three times in the space of the last 12 months is something exceptional.

I get a free commemorative slate coaster too :D

This is more of an ad for Giving blood than showing off. Do what my old sig says!

I give every 4 months, but have never had that letter.

Last time (my 10th btw) got down to 4 mins 18 secs. which is my all time record. Next session is on Xmas eve, so that should put me in the festive spirit.

The nurses were telling me that their vans had been vandalised and the catalytic converters nicked so they had to hire vans for the day to deliver the blood to the hospital. Some people are evil.

Please, everyone who can - give blood and feel like a better person.
 
I give regularly and haven't had one of those letters before. Not fussed though, I don't do it for the thanks.

(I do it for the free biscuits)
 
I would imagine them slicing your vein through and squeezing your blood out of it like the end of a toothpaste tube is quite painful, yes.

I would imagine them inserting a very thing needle into your vein and sucking out a small amount of blood is not very painful, so no.

;)
 
Does it hurt?

As much as a single small needle puncture in an arm vein.
That is to say ridiculously little, but some weeds will have you believe you personally suffer the entire agonies of the whole holocaust. Just go and do it, if it hurts you have my permission to chin the nurse.
