      Joking aside, I'm sure it'll work out well.

       

      It'll probably need to, after one mag "for the average enthusiast" did a similar theme to death some years back.

      Well done Stu, that's a great achievement, I did my 100 two years ago, I started by giving whole blood at 18, then went onto donating plasma cells, used to go every 2 weeks, it was a great skive off work whilst giving a precious donation for life, I have now enrolled my Wife and Son into it over the last couple of years #givelifegiveblood
