don't pay you for that in this country. They want BLOOD! And they want it free too, which sucks.

I came out of the blood donor's place feeling slightly funky and feeling like I'd help save someone's life. Possibly. All because I wanted to.

# they don't usually pay for whole blood here

they weren't allowed to pay me the 50 quid that they give to the controls as

# this involved a free trip to edinburgh for me and a mate
and all I had to do was lie in a scanner for an hour and a half - it was a bit like being in side a dot matrix printer - fantastic stuff
