Pint for a Pint - Glasto 2021

[deebeedoobee]

Just giving my last pint before the festival,  in Glastonbury town hall as we speak. Hoping for a kitkat as I ran early today so didn't eat a proper breakfast.  Starving !!!

[Soggy_feet]

Will be giving a pint in just over an hour, hoping I hit the jackpot and there's some mint clubs left

Quality,  you win if they do!

So from toays session:

Positive  - got a kit kat and the sun is shining.

Negative - had to listen to some drivel they call radio 2. Utter shite.

I used to give blood regularly and always booked my next donation at the time of donating.  But they stopped coming to that venue and I can never find any available slots to book now online.  For instance I've just searched up to the end of September and there is one appointment, next Tuesday, 15 miles from me, in the middle of the day when I have a meeting.  

I mean one appointment in the next four months? 15 miles away?  (though I could combine it with looking at F&B tents in Telford....)

ETA - I extended the search to the end of December.  Still only the one appointment next Tuesday.

Radio 2 is a step up from Heart, which is what we got!! 
 

No mint clubs so opted for Tuc cheese biscuits!

You guys are going to see a rare occurrence in 6 weeks time. A Yorkshireman at a bar with his wallet open.

Hummm but it was Steve Wright…….

bah humbug to no club biscuits. Tuc cheese biscuits are an insult to cheese🧀 . 
 

still now you have been told to do nothing strenuous and drink lots. I’m going with my own interpretation of this advice, given that it’s Friday night.

Woah you guys are still getting branded snacks?  When I donated on 14th April we had bargin basement, generic no brand biscuits none of which had any chocolate near them, no savoury snacks and only squash no cups of tea, I'm extremely jealous of your snack selections!

Had to cancel mine yesterday annoyingly because of covid. Rescheduled for early December. I'm like three off 50 now! 

Annoyingly they cancelled my last one on the day so have struggled to get many in this year.

Thanks! Been doing it since I was 17 😀

All power to everyone who does it. I did it once and was told that frankly I was more effort than I was worth. My blood is apparently very slow to leave my body and left me feeling really woozy so they had to keep an eye on me for a while. It's not like I am even scared of needles or anything.

Made an appointment last week for the Friday of T-Day weekend.

A few years ago Mrs J had a life saving blood transplant. I've been a regular donor ever since. 

[Hugh Jass II]

I only do it for the Club Biscuits and Penguins.

I did it for years before that but when my best mate had loads of transfusions due to cancer I really saw the benefit of it first hand.

I was one of those in the queue to book yesterday evening, appointment for a week today in Bristol.

It'll be the first time in 15 years for me.

I gave 3 times as soon as I was old enough to, the final time ended with me having a funny turn shall we say which has put me off ever since.

Wish me luck 😂

Nice one … I’m a pro with needles but I’ve still managed to faint when having my bloods taken once … must have been the pressure of the observer tipping me over the edge … or if you see the person doing it struggling to find a vein
