Sympathies, Wild Edges and Obelixx.  I dread having blood tests as I don't give up my blood very easily - end up like you Obs, full of holes and black and blue! I don't think they'd ever get 5 vials out of me.
I think it's often the skill of the person with the point. I once ended up with more holes than an aertex blouse. The nurse gave up and, at my insistence, got another nurse to have a go. They succeeded first time - a Transylvanian immigrant, i assume. Are they in the EU?
I've spent a lot of time in hospitals over the last 2 years and no one has asked me for any blood. Maybe the NHS are missing a trick by not having someone in waiting rooms ready to take blood from bored people.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Anyway the film people have gone for the day and left some large security blokes looking after all the kit. They took over the whole street for the morning happily leaning equipment on my plants and dropping litter in my flower beds. As far as I can tell they shot about 30 seconds of film in that time, mostly people walking out of the front door and getting into cars.
The worst part for me was they turned my neighbour's garden into the hair and makeup studio so while I was getting covered in mud gardening on one side of the wall a bunch of luvvies were getting tarted up on the other side. The director can loudly shout 'silence on set' in my direction as often as he wants but I imagine the film will still have background noise of my son shouting 'OOOF!' at the dog  It'll add to the realism I'm sure...
and I didn't get paid £20 to move my car

The glamour of Hollywood, eh? I hope you chucked the litter back at them. On the other hand, if it becomes a blockbuster, you could flog the litter on a well known auction site. "Held by Leonardo di Caprio while filming his latest Oscar winning role outside Wild Edge's house".
