For me it would be pre-Roman Britain, just as they are building Stonehenge. Just to see if all the theories are right... or was it a bunch of stoned druids who were bored one afternoon having a laugh...

Thats where i`d like to go too, but if postie`s gonna be there then i`ll go ancient Egypt and watch em build pyramids instead wink

Hmmmm... sorry for nicking your option there Dino, we can swap notes on your return...and at least you'll get a tan...

I think I'd go back to the very beginning of time to see who was right about how the world began....scientists versus theologians......then come back to my own time and go on telly and become a crackpot!!! biggrin

:D :D

So... already we have Hitler, Thatcher and Happy Cats' parents getting a visit from the time-hopping SH contraception unit... hehehehe aren't you in select comany MCB !

20 Aug 2005

This one is easy!!......
I'd go back to yesterday morning and remind myself not to cook a fry up that day ...... coz then I wouldn't have been splashed by hot oil from the frying pan that left a ring of blisters around my belly button .. ffs........ grrrrrrrrrrr

August '92, spend some quality time with my Dad, tell him what a great guy he was, give him a hug and tell him I loved him...... it's not quite the same tellin em after they've gone sad

on a lighter note, loads of others to choose from
see the Beatles perform live in the 60's :thumbup:
see Zeppelin perform live before Bonham died :thumbup:
and would Archimedes have been quite such a clever dick if I'd have pulled the plug out of his bath? :grin:

I think i would go back a couple of years to 10th September 2001 that gives me a day to warn about the terror attacks,i know bit heavy for this time in the morning but i think if it wasn't for this pivotal moment in time we would not be having all the shit that is happening now!!.......just my thoughs!!

Do you honestly think that if you did that anyone would believe you? Or that Bin Laden et al wouldn't just have come up with another plan after this one was foiled? (They have something of a record in this regard, have a look at Operation Bojinka ).
Personally I'd probably leave well alone as I wouldn't want to mess with causality or trigger a paradox.
Someone is taking this a little serious here i think.......it's a time travel question,that's impossible to start with just said what i'd like to do, at least i didn't ask to go back and kill Hitler! rolleyes

.........and if you want to talk about paradox's,any form of time travel would cause that!

OK. Weird but maybe interesting.
Something that's always intrigued me is time travel. Presuming you had a time-machine at your disposal, that you could use only once and you could zip off to somewhere in history that really grabs your attention and spend a few days there, where would you go?? Any time any place...
you can dress up Mr Ben styleee and take anything you need to fit in...

I would go back to my first birthday, to start my life again and knowing what I know now, have plenty of confidence, make a fortune and lead a luxury lifestyle, a posh home in each beautifull country around the World and live to be 150yrs. with gorgeous girls at my beck and call for ever. Mmmm if only stop it! your'e making me miserable. rolleyes

:roll: :roll: wink

:wink: :wink: :silly:

20 Aug 2005

For me i would have to return to Roman times
it was a time when men and women were totally equal
and sex wasnt looked at as a crime.
anyway great subject for a post.
lisamarie

20 Aug 2005

I would go back to 07:55am on the 20th of August 2005 so I could post this first lol

Alternatively, back to Roman era Britain at the height of it's power as a legionnaire.

ohhh if i could go back in time i'd go back to what ever year it was when America belonged to the native american's, i'd love to have lived their lifes b4 white man went over and took everything for himself (as we do lol), they seemed to have lead such a natural life plus i have always found native american men very sexy they just have a look that makes me melt :lickface: mmmmmmmm the dark skin and long black hair smile

Yep thats where i'd go back to them day's

20 Aug 2005

I'd go back to two exact points in time : ten minutes leading up to the death of Kurt Cobain and ten minutes leading up to the death of Michael Hutchence. Just to know the exact circumstances, not to do anything to stop the deaths. Both a bit suspect, I've always thought confused

As to periods of time, it would be either Ancient Egypt or Victorian Britain.

20 Aug 2005

I would go back to the days when Christ walked on the earth.
At least then i would know if it is all true or not!
There again, if i did find out it was true, i'd probably become a monk
or something, so there is a down side

20 Aug 2005

what a great thread id go back to the stone age no more of this driving around of a night trying to find a female. all i would have to do is walk out of my cave with a club .find a lass a quick blow to the head and drag her back to my cave. then when ive finished with her none of this cuddles and talk just throw her back out unless she wanted to cook me some mammoth4 breakfast

Right now I'd settle for going back 2 weeks, so that a certain silly sod had sent a passport application for our daughter and another silly sod didnt have to drive to bloody Durham this morning to sort it out!

And then this silly sod, wont have to go back again because another silly sod didnt fill the bloody form in properly!

With my time machine i would go back to Regency England.... the costumes, manners and etiquette of that time has always appealed to me... I'm a huge fan of Jane Austen, and besides..... with the corsetiers around then... i'd have a 16 - 18 inch waist..... lol
Plus.... i could ride around in a carriage and four wherever i wished to go and the pace of life was so much slower then... i could really enjoy it........

Off to watch Sense and Sensibility once again....... lol

This is why I like postie so much - what a flipping great topic for discussion !!
If I had a time machine, I would go for two different things
1) I would go forward in time and get the sports almanac (I know, very Back to the Future Part2 - BUT I really would), and amass great wealth and power - everyone must have had daydreams about this at some point (or more up to date, all the lottery numbers for future draws)
2) I would go back to all the controversial moments in time, Roswell in '47, Kenneddy assassination and find out the truth for all of 'em
Do they make me sound too geeky?
Oh and I'd love to do the 60's too, all that FREE LOVE lol

:lol:
