They won't take any off me because of my job and my regular stints out of the country.
I am more than willing to do it though |  |

I've been 5 times and managed to donate once. Kept getting turned away for what seemed increasingly silly reasons so eventually I gave up.
My grandpa managed over 100 I think, he'd still do it now if they'd let him. |  | | |

They won't take it as I've usually been tattooed too often - think the last time I checked it was about 6months or so of a window. So by the time it comes around and I've passed that period I usually miss it.
Snr's some kind of donating machine, they've sent him little certificates before and once I think a letter telling him not to come as he'd been so often.
They're welcome to anything off me when I snuff it too, assuming there's anything worth salvaging. |  |

I would love to do it but have a really sad phobia.
I'm fine with needles, OK seeing other people's blood and OK seeing my own but the really odd thing is I freak out at the thought of blood being drained out of my body.
I'm ashamed of this. The rest of my immediate family give blood. I have no idea why I'm like this. |  |

Understandable, clearly a wrong un | |

Laziness. If they were here now with a needle i'd happily do it.
And yes, I know that reason is pathetic. |  |

I've repeatedly tried to donate, but won't take my blood due to a heart condition and their fear of killing me in the process. Wouldn't be an issue at all but they see "Heat Condition" and panic.
Annoys me in a way as feels it's something people should do.
I have however signed up to donate bone marrow if a match is found |  |

I'm ridiculously phobic about it. I do other things to help society, but this is one I just can't do.
Sorry. And thank you to everyone who does. | | | |

Same here, plus various diseases picked up travelling. I'm all quiet on that front now though so should probably look into it. Bad not to. |  |

That's what you think sailor boy, I did mention the diseases 
Ignore me, it's been a mind numbingly dull day. I could do with a beer. | |

I've donated 29 times.
It's cool when you receive a text a week or two later saying your blood has been used to help someone.
I've also registered for organ donation when I turn my toes up but Gawd help anyone that ends up with any of my bits! |  | | |

My wife and I both do it - 7 times each I think. Also signed up for bone marrow donation and organ donation. All definitely good things to do! |  |

Same here. Used to do it, think I got a bronze thingy when I'd done 10 or so.
They might have changed the rules recently so might be worth checking. |  |

Plus, the beauty of giving blood in Norfolk is that you're likely to be a match for 100% of the population. |  |

So lack of funding has prevented people from giving a free service to save people lives.
Welcome to Britain. What a shambles we are. |  |
