What relatively "enjoyable" common things could you not physically do even for ten million pounds...

[AmericaIsSoBloodyGreat]

Run the London Marathon, or even half a marathon. I just cannot run. I did one park run once and was in tears by the end of it as if I'd just run from one side of Africa to the other raising millions for charity. Running is pure, pure torture. Cycling is also hell on earth.

Climb a rope. Never been able to do it

You couldn't smoke 1 cigarette for 10 million pounds?

Go down in one of those semi submersibles like the titan thing that exploded. The very idea… I would spend every second on tenterhooks waiting for signs of implosion.

similarly, going into space. Incredible concept, horrific to actually imagine doing it.

As per PP, caving. It’s always freaked me out but after reading about the ‘nutty putty’ cave incident that sealed the deal for me. The Descent movie also did not help …

For ten mill I would stick my arm in a deep fat fryer then eat it. There’s probably nothing short of harming my children I would not do for that much money.

Not sure that would count as a “relatively enjoyable common thing” though😂

I bet you'd do it for £500 😂

Absolutely wild take. I would inject heroin (provided the needle was clean) for much less 😂

Good point but my point is for ten mill I’d do anything… even maybe something illegal which is not very mumsnet 😤😤

I would definitely give the London marathon a go. I've harboured a secret wish to do it since 1981, but always lacked a the confidence to try.
The things I definitely would NOT do are:
Bungee jumping
Abseiling down a tall building
Jumping out of an aeroplane
Anything involving getting into water

Glastonbury or similar. Hell on earth.

I believe that people train for marathons - I imagine you'd get there for 10 million pounds.

I would be absolutely terrified of bungee jumping, jumping out of an aircraft and similar, but for 10 million I would probably force myself to do it. Probably not for a thousand pounds though.

I think this thread would make more sense if you changed it from 10 million to a thousand, to be honest.

I reckon for £10m I could grudgingly run a marathon or bungee jump or scuba dive, but I genuinely don’t think I could force myself to eat cream cheese.

Or I could probably just about chew it, if I held my nose - but if the £10m was contingent on swallowing it and not immediately puking it back up, there would just be no way.

Even hearing the words ‘cream cheese’ makes my gorge rise. I can smell it just by thinking about it. Now my night’s ruined 🤢😭

Potholing

Absolutely not a chance. Genuinely not even £5000.

eat goats cheese lol.

I'd say skydiving as I'm petrified of heights, but for 10 million I'd be willing to try some hypnotherapy or something to get over it. Might still need someone to physically push me out the plane though.

Anything that involves height, like you know those people who walk along an extended crane and there’s a sheer drop. Having said that if I was drugged up or drunk I’d probably do it for £10 mil.

I’m exactly the same. I’d have to be pushed out

Have a bath. I'd love to have a long soak in a very hot bath but I can't. Well I could, apart from the getting out bit. I can't lift myself out due to a life changing shoulder injury.

Not without cheating.
