But the staff did have the fire doors held open with plastic bins for him.???

I thought that, didnt even look at the rider, ignorant fecker

To be fair, he could have be having a bad day. Overworked, long shift, bad news etc.

And what's he doing picking his nose !! To busy with his phone.. zzz

Likely the building is so hot inside

how do u know this not his work phone?

Then don't watch you stupid

I feel you. Mee too😅

@@dumbfvck2028 youre a toxic little fucker arent you

Tell me about it! Sadly, we had what we had, and as a new charity, we had to marshall whatever funds we had just on operating the service.

@@dumbfvck2028 wow what a deeply unhappy resentful person, lot of pain their.

Can I ask how you got into it? Was it a job role advertised or they are frequently looking for individuals to assist like this?

I would like to think they all been working 12 hour shifts with irregular hours solong they just got no life in em

@@lizzbien4446 I can only speak for myself (I worked a very similar job while going to uni) and it was pure chance. Knowing people that did it and thus having connections. Again: It could only apply to the place I worked at, but they solely recruited people that someone they knew could vouch for.

I have to say the staff at the labs looked exceedingly underwhelmed by being at work, they obviously don't like their jobs, projecting lots of negativity, despite the high vis jacket the biker almost seemed invisible!

Yes I did the same job for years mainly clotters life saving drugs because of the cost back then not many hospitals carried stock I've del to the top of the country bottom of the country highlands islands ulster Ireland Jersey Guernsey n the isle of man n love the trip over to shetland.I have never been shown any ungratitude in any way in fact total opposite what I've seen in this vid isn't very nice toward people who give their time free Me i worked self employed made a wage love the miles driven jumped on planes when it's gone serious what a job i had serious but very nice people why no more you think well covid really made hospitals carry stock n the firm i worked for stocked the hospitals in their own vans.stay safe bikers you don't won't to be using what you del.

Wonderful to hear mate, best of luck

Ye all blood bikers are volunteers, and also yes you do have to convert your own motorcycle and out of your own pocket

Then why would ppl do it?

@@nebojsakukic8824 out of the goodness of their hearts. That's what most volunteers do.

DuhDuh lol I didn’t mean it that way, I mean if there’s so much money in the medical field, how can the hospitals which earn a good bit of money, not at least sponsor these riders.

Yes plus then when you stop doing that job you have a bike covered in screw holes from fitting all the extra gear, to remove. Detrimental value on the bike. Doing this job is essentially a key task for the NHS, helping to save lives. I could justify doing it if I was getting paid to do it, otherwise “voluntarily” means I’m out doing this for free, when actually I have a family at home I should be taking care of!

Very kind mate, but we’re just a bunch of everyday gals and guys who want to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem.

@@AntonyLoveless clever spoken, its so true Still respect for the everyday work :D

Yeah, it’s not a good look, is it? We did report it on numerous occasions, but nothing was ever done about it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@AntonyLoveless if they keep it up then the building needs closed down for violating the fire safety codes , those fire doors are what prevents the entire building from burning down in the event of a structure fire , i guess the people working there don't understand that their lives are in danger. If that was me doing your job and i walked in and seen that i would yell a bad at them and throw all of the stuff across the room then tell them if they did it anymore then they won't no longer have a job due to putting them and everybody else's lives in danger.

@@AntonyLoveless which hospital is it? I will follow it up

You do realise 90% of blood runner groups legally cannot use blue lights on calls

Says Belfast in the description!

😂😂😂

We provide an emergency response service transporting blood from bank to operating theatre, milk bank to maternity units, surgical instruments etc.

Yes, we visit the blood bank several times each shift, so it was lifted the following day by one of my colleagues.

Thank you, and no, very rarely, but we didn’t do it for the kudos or thanks. It angered all of us that central government relied on charities like ours to provide a service that should’ve been funded by the treasury.

@@AntonyLoveless it is a shame to be honest you are right it should be government funded. so many peoples lives are saved due the amazing work the blood runner performe day in day out without question honestly so thankfull for work and lives saved 👏👏👏

@@el-yorko-bar3734 I think about this funding question a lot. The whole system needs rejigged. Motability (the government funded charity providing disability vehicles to the disabled who are in receipt of suitable DWP benefit🙄) *made* just over *2 BILLION* in *profit* a couple years back, for that year. Should I repeat that? 🤔 A not for profit charity (Motability) funded by tax payers, made 2 BILLION pounds PROFIT for the year. The company that own/run Motability (nfp charity), are a regular for profit company, and sell the cars after three years useage, and keep the proceeds as profit. The government then pay for the new vehicles via the disabled persons disability benefit. It's basically glorified vehicle contract leasing. If it was fully in-house not for profit run by a government department, that 2 billion would be available for the likes of blood bikes etc. Doesn't that smack you as quite odd, when there are blood bike charities having to rely on volunteers with their own bikes literally relying on public charity to provide an essential service.

Honda ST1100 Pan European, same as mine 😁

We’re all volunteers who give up our time to provide the service. Blood bike groups in the UK are established as charities and rely entirely on business groups and the public for our funding. Most groups require you to be an experienced motorcyclist with an advanced riding qualification as a minimum.

@@AntonyLoveless do you have to have a motorbike?!! id be interested in helping but i have a car.

@@1986wake1986 to be a blood biker yes

@@c21bbr97 i know its in the name lol. just thought id ask haha

@@1986wake1986 From my brief research, many blood bike charities do also require car drivers as live blood cannot be transported in particularly poor weather (below 3'C I believe) on bikes. You still need to have an applicable advanced driving qualification such as IAM or RoSPA and each charity likely has its own additional criteria.

Wide view mirrors. Used by driving instructors. Just Google search to find the correct terminology & then put it on ebay, sorted.

Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast.

I'd imagine it's something to do with hygiene can't have different blood in the same box

😂Tell me about it! The only flaw in an otherwise perfect bike. Much like the Ducati 998, for me, it was so much better than the model that replaced it 🤷🏻‍♂️

I've had 3 st11s since I did my "big bike" test and Id have another in a heart beat if it wasn't for the swing arm made of chocolate. After many many rides on my dad's st13 I can say theyre not as good as the 11 😂

Sadly not. The ST1100 was an ex-PSNI bike, and had the factory-installed unit. It would’ve taken funds away from frontlline services if we’d diverted cash to pay for a better unit just to yelp; we learned to work with what we had. Each of our bikes had different blues and twos, depending on their age. One of them was newer and had LED blues, and an array of sirens, yelps, etc, as well as different light configurations.

@@AntonyLoveless That's not uncommon - we had a batch of riot vans that they never wired the horn ring in to change the tones so you were either on with wail or off - I wonder if the same specialist vehicle convertor was used. Crazy really as every electronic siren has at least wail & yelp, it saved them about half an hours wiring work and a few quids worth of cable and connectors, that was all.

Hello Alastair, thanks for getting in touch. Yes, you’re very welcome to use my footage with a credit. I would also be happy to answer any questions you or your pupils may have.

@@AntonyLoveless thanks so much. Do you have an email address I could use to send you some questions. Thanks so much

🤣

It's voluntary

@@dumdumdimdimdemdimdum9143 so you don't get paid?

@@aarondonally8153 well no, because its for volunteers 😊 The only thing you have to do to become a blood bikes rider. You need to have held your full motorcycle licence for 2 years since the date of passing or more. Then you need to have completed an advanced Riding instruction such as Dragon Rider Course (in Wales = free) or you have other choices such as IAM, Rospa etc. My experience: I'm a blood Bike member for SW Wales.

I did that for 5 years for NorthWest Lancs n Lakes Bloodbikes.

Like whos even going to get hold of his phone anyway out of the billions of phones in this word and see this exact video to know his pin...

It's a 10 year old footage ahah

Well tough. Orange and yellow are approved livery for National Blood Service Vehicles, allied charities and Highways Incident Response Units & similar. It's hardly if someone is going to mistake any of these with a vehicle that is exclusively airside on an airport and nor will they ever cross paths

I mean it is 2013 in this video

@@edeuss “uploaded one year ago” that’s what I was going off

@@EpicboydoesET first saw that too but if you check the description it says 2013

@@edeuss oh shit yeah

They use blue lights instead of green as green have no power to run lights and speed.

Never seen a green light vehicle ever in Northern Ireland, everything under an emergency category is blue as far as I know here.

Green lights are courtesy lights (bit like UK blood service blues) only for doctors but not used very often (or now for diggers to show seat belt connected!)

@@OhNoYouDidnt Almost never see them in England.

Gary Edwards..is blue not enough? You must be dense if you think green is better.

We do path runs in Wales, without sirens and lights. There's just a few in England that use them.

I hope he changed it, should have reviewed his footage before upload and blur it
