Would you give yourself the flu for £3750?

Once they cure all the diseases then people will die from starvation and poor air quality.

Either that or another World War to cure the population problem.

Its a placebo.

They are giving you leprosy.

If the study came to Ireland Id be first in line.

I'm suffering with flu since Monday and I only thought of this thread yesterday. Would I self inflict myself with the flu for a few bob? Not a ****ing chance.

I take it all back. Karma got me and now I have flu and I'm getting no monies. I'm currently drugged up to my eyeballs which is why I can post for now but it won't last. It lures you into this false sense of security and then BAM you feel like you're about to die again.

I can't swallow. I'm absolutely soaking wet but if I take my duvet off I'll be freezing. I'm getting what feels like electric shocks all over me. Everything aches. My bones. My joints. My skin. It feels like someone is sitting on my chest and one side of my throat resembles the elephant man. Sudden movements make it feel like someone is trying to vacuum pack my brain. Yesterday I managed to eat a petit filous and have a hot whiskey. Light hurts my head and I can't stand up without feeling like I'm going to cry.

I'd rather be put down that given €4,000 right now >.<

Yeah, that sounds like flu alright. Sympathies to you. Its a nasty dose.
Had it once and got pneumonia out of it. Not something I'd want to go through again, thank you very much.

Cant be that bad of a flu if you're online.

Booking my honeymoon at the moment. I'll take anything they want for ~€5k bump to the honeymoon fund.

Ah it can be. If you have taken enough drugs. You get bouts of feeling like you *might* be ok. Right now I'm in bed. Lying in a pool of sweat. Afraid to move my head because of the pain (see vacuum pack description above). My legs are aching and don't work very well but if I stay in this position I'll be ok for a wee while, then the crying will begin again when the drugs begin to wear off but I can't take any more for another couple of hours.

Cupcake_Crisis

Having had a dose of the flu so severe a few years ago that I would have gladly welcomed death in my front door and made him a cup of tea if he granted me a swift release from my unrelenting agony, I'd have to say....... I'd give it some serious thought. 4 grand like.....

Sleepy

No

Would you have to declare it for income tax? Cos for €4,500 I'd do it in a heartbeat (I get paid sick leave from work and a few days of fever dreams and vomiting won't kill me) but I'd definitely give it more thought if I'm only going to see a bit over 2k afterwards!

"Where you going on your holidays?"

"I'm gonna be in fluenza."

No

Only cure for the flu is a good story!

No

F**k I would, holiday this year would be sorted!

Medusa22

I spent 6 weeks in hospital when I caught the flu last year so no, no thank you.

Lightbulb Sun

They don't allow in people with skin or mental health conditions so you'd have to be clear of that as well as having good physical health.

Greyfoot

Three legged offsprings within my genes? Fer lousy 4 grand? You alrite ye?

pappyodaniel

No

Yes, I'd definately prostitute myself for that kind of cash. I actually had man-flu 2 weeks ago. I'm 100% recovered but I still have an annoying chesty cough in the mornings.
A better question would be what's the least amount of money you'd take the flu for?

Aw yeh, you really do feel like this is it. This is how you're gonna leave this world. Like someone has sellotaped your eyes shut. Put your head in a vice grips while standing on your face with a 10 foot steal capped boot. Injected you with a paralysing but pain inducing drug, while squeezing tightly on your neck. You feel like someone has been pouring water over you all night but then you realise it's sweat. You can't eat and flat 7up is a struggle. You swear that if anyone ever says "I think I have flu" while supping on a lempsip at their desk, you'll punch them right in the fanny.

Still though. €4,000

Thank you! I am sick to my hair follicles listening to 'a friend' telling me she has a "touch of the Flu" all the while yapping for hours on the phone, sticking the dinner on and nipping out to get some Lemsip. and telling me about it. YOU DO NOT NOW, NOR NEVER HAVE HAD THE FCUKING FLU!!!
4K tho?

Curry Addict

Not a chance. I had the flu when I was 16 and, while it's easy to forget how bad it is (brains are good at that), I distinctly recall thinking it wouldn't be so bad if I just dozed off and didn't wake up again. The flu is a rotten thing, there are much easier ways to make €4,000. Like just going to work.
