If it's only a week I could probably endure it.
I'd definitely leave my hearing aids at home.

With the money I'd buy a house in a remote area, so I could live in peace for the rest of my days.

Totally worth it.

For that kind of money? Hell yeah, I'd do that. I'd be really uncomfortable the entire time but what's one week of awkwardness compared to a lifetime of wealth?

Yes.. As long as I don't have to go 'abroad with people'. Like roommates.

Normally my idea of hell but for 65 million pounds you got yourself a deal

I'd do it. I never been to a bar or a nightclub & I'm not into the partying scene at all but I do drink occasionally. I take an anxiety med regularly & I also have Klonopin for occasional use that I would take regularly for the week. I'd be pretty worn out but I'd survive & the money would help me & my girlfriend alot.

It would be hard to get through. Time will stand still each night because I don't like drinking alcohol, and I would feel very shy and also intimidated by all the loud excitable party animals that I'd be stuck with. If I'm lucky they might befriend me, but normally I get left out when in large groups of extraverted peers. I am not on their wavelength.

But all the money I'd get for doing that will change my life forever; I could afford to go private and pay to have my mum get the best and quickest surgery for the tumour she has, give up work, buy a cottage out in the countryside for me and my boyfriend, make it really homely, book up big holidays every few months and go first class on the plane...

I would continue living in the UK though, as I am proud of being British, and having conservatives running the country is great if you're rich, although I'd still vote labour or UKIP for all the poorer people out there...sorry going off topic.

What's the significance of £65 million? Why not £66 million, or £1 million?

Only the OP can answer this, but I thought it might be something to do with £65m being $100m. But when I checked the current exchange rate, it's closer to £70m being $100m.

Why would anyone be paid £65 million for spending a week away abroad somewhere? It sounds like Indecent Proposal without the prospect of adultery. :?

Yes. I've had to tolerate far worse things and survived. And I didn't get paid for them, either.

It's not reality, it's just a question. Why does everything have to be logical?

What else was I supposed to say? I didn't want to say "millions of pounds", and so I just had to choose one big number. I'm not very good with figures.
