No, mostly plasma or platelets. I go every two weeks now. The first 40 were
whole blood though. When I first did plasma it took 3 hours. They didn't
have the machinery they have now. It was take a pint, rush upstairs,
seperate it, rush downstairs, put the red stuff back in:- repeat until
enough. 
Now plasma takes 40 mins and platelets an hour.

Where is this form you speak of? I plan to donate in the next couple
of weeks and would be happy to have a motorbiker stamp on my bodily
fluids.
Or... do they just figure out whether you're a biker or a cop from
the blood...

Ask for it when you donate.

Errm Betty; you may not have encountered Cletus before but try to imagine a
village-idiot yet faaaar more idiotic (and without a village)....
Got it?
Well Cletus is stupider than that.
In fact he's so so stupid he's too stupid to even realise that he's stupid!!
Incredible I know, but true.
This is not a "man" you want to give any credence to.
Just ignore the rantings of the moron and know in yourself that you have
nothing you have to justify.

Bit like having all the village idiots in the world living in a
village by themselves then he'd be the village idiot?
Nah, that would be George..
