“A pint? That’s very nearly an armful!”
Tony Hancock’s legendary line in The Blood Donor was “A pint? That’s very nearly an armful!”
(I really should find the DVD somewhere and watch it again.)
I referenced it the other day after going to the blood bank, and Ian noted that Tony Hancock was from Ian’s home town of Birmingham, and kindly snapped a picture of a memorial to Hancock.
A visit to the blood bank is always a good time to gather some vital stats, of course, which I’ll note below for my own archival purposes.
Height 181.5cm (with shoes on)
Weight 73.2kg (with shoes on)
(that makes my BMI 22.2, which appears to put me in the “normal” category for weight.)
Blood pressure 108/64
Haemoglobin was, I think, 163

Were you able to give blood? Good on you for doing so.
