London. Flu you know you will get over fairly quickly, but London leaves deep scars...
(Plus, it takes weeks to get the black crud out of your nose after a single day visit ...)

If it is experimental, than not all effects will be mapped, and long-term effects might be even more unclear. I would not consider that gamble for a lousy 4000 pounds.
Then again, I need not even apply; I'm already taking a lot of medication and that might interact with other stuff in an unpredictable way.

Found this: [^]
If the numbers are correct, then dying from catching the flu is a lot more likely than winning the lottery. I guess chances of dying are even worse when dealing with experimental crap.
I'd tell them to f#!k off and try it on themselves, not matter what sum they pay.

I would apply for sure as long as I am not given hospital food. I need to be able any kind of food..

If you have the flu, you generally have no working taste buds anyway, so you might as well be eating hospital food.

I wouldn't - especially not after that case a few years back where some men in the UK almost paid with their lives in one of these new drug trials.

I remember a case from a few years ago where some guys turned into a vegetable, and one of them even died, after such an experimental drug turned out to cause brain damage.
Some money is nice, a lot of money is nicer, but being in good health is priceless.
I'd consider it if I really needed the money, but at the moment €4000,- is just a nice extra

Before I volunteer, is it normal Flu, or full-blown man flu?

Nope. I live in the neighborhood. I'd consider it only if taking place in California, Iceland, Hawaii, or generally someplace with a nice beach hospital and a paid plane ticket. Surfer blondes and hot nurses would be a bonus.

At least they're offering more than the plague pushers on this side of the pond.
A few years ago my younger brother mentioned that he'd considered signing up for a similar trial but that as appealing as $1k for a week was decided to pass. He was less than amused when I responded that getting paid more than that every week without being deliberately exposed to a plague was even nicer. :trollface:

When medicines are tested on humans they are fairly safe (at least in the EU) so I could consider it.

Prednison is regular medication that is still prescribed, but that doesn't mean that you can take it for long without negative effects. One of the results is osteoporosis - that doesn't make it "bad" medicine, it just means that you don't take if there's no compelling reason to do so.
Another example would be Puri-Nethol; yes, it is safe, as long as you don't plan on having children.
That's side-effects from regular medication that is already "tested and safe". You're talking about something that isn't "that tested and safe", otherwise the testing would not even be required.

No. For so many reasons, I could not possibly list them all here.
To pick one random reason: experimental medicines, which could be more harmful than the flu, if not fatal to some; and I would not want to be a member of the group "some".

I work with guys who have kids in school so it's like germ warfare around here. While it would be nice to have some extra cash, I feel like I live in a petri dish every day so I think I'll pass.

Hi All,
So the film has been released for a few days, I am going to see it tonight. Before I go I have to ask is it a remake of the Empire (the best) as Force Awakens was a rehash of Star Wars (young upstart from a desert moon, gets involved in issues follows old man to his death, giant planet killing space ball etc.) don't get me wrong I liked it but it was a replay of the original. I just hope they have gone a little further into plot, the still of Finn remincent of Han playing with Boba Fett...?

I saw the film two nights ago. It has some elements reminiscent of the Empire Strikes Back, but it reminded me to some extent of the old Bruce Lee films, where the plot (such as it was) was merely a vehicle to take the heroes from one fight to the next.
It's good, clean, forgettable, fun.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I was surprised to see Han Solo's force ghost in there, but it was good to see a return from fan favourite Jar Jar Binks.

Oh for 's sake I hope your joking Jar Jar was either a Sith agent or a Toy opportunity...

Snoke. Binks. All I'm saying - you never see them in the same room at the same time....
