Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

When did you last give blood?

Good on you :-) Hope the donation went smoothly.

Had the same email. I'm surprised they've not tried to do that with the pre-donation questionnaire given that it seems to change from one donation to the next.

Just booked for the next earliest date I can do. I still want to get another piercing in my ear but haven't decided yet what it will be, so in the mean time I will keep up the donations.

Got something to say?
