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...
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...

time travel... where would you go?
Hello there Postie
Well I have always wanted to be part of the decadent and roaring 20's - just loved the idea of the lifestyle (for the rich and famous mind) of the big house with the parties and clothes and the start of womens emancipation. When I was a child I loved dressing up in lots of jewellery and made a charleston dress. God brings back memories lol. To be poor in the 20's mind would have hated it. What no microwave dinners :shock: :shock: :shock:
:lol:

Mind you, I'm quite taken with the idea of the Big Bang Burger Bar! Sounds like a lot of fun

Anybody who got that sort of alignment right wasn't stoned...
but anyway interesting philosophical question..my serious answer would be to go back in time to 20th April 1889 to a place called Braunau-Am-Inn Austria and strangle the fourth child of a certain Alois and Klara Hitler, thus preventing WWII, The Holocaust, The Cold War and the middle east state of Israel.
on a lighter note I would have visited myself when I was 12 and gave me a very good talking too and list a load of Do's and Don'ts....

I've thought about this and have a number of different times I'd like to go back to -
1960's Liverpool when the Beatles first performed
1920's Chicago
or
Pre marriage - just to sample happiness again
Pre knowing of Postie - as above
on 2nd thoughts... i'm travelling back to the day Mr Happy Cats Senior met the future Mrs Happy Cats and will warn him that he'd spawn MCB.... and save us all from your ramblings... :lol:

Oooh, good thread. 
I would like to go way back pre-history to have a look at our ancestors..... to have a look at the different species of Australopithicus (sp?), and then a little more recent to see Homo Erectus and then early Homo Sapiens.
I'm not that much into more recent history - they were all a bunch of nutters as far as I can tell - though I would like to see some of the Victorian buildings in Manchester being built, and what Chorley and surrounding areas looked like when all the mills were working and all the Victorian houses were new..... I've seen pics and they don't look much different to now to be honest
Then on my way home, I'd just drop into the mid 1980s and go for a walk with my grandad and my dog, then finally to the summer of 1989 cos it was a really good time for me, except this time I'd remember to give a certain dipstick a punch on the nose cos he deserved it and I never quite got round to it then :?

That would be 1960's Liverpool then. I'd be there whilst you were warning him and would be living proof as to how he could do something positive for humanity by spawning me!

That's the kind of thing I would like to see, how the neolithic peoples really lived. What was it really like, how quiet was it without vehicles, how harsh was it in winter, how dark was night without the glow from the cities... Just the simple things that make up every day life.. and then come back and gloat at Tony Robinson and the Time Team... " nah.. that's bollox is that theory..." type of thing.

I'm sure I've heard of at least one novel that has a very similar premise - only problem (at least from that author's POV) is that the Nazis appear anyway (Hitler didn't create them, he merely took over a pre-existing group of violent idiots) and they end up being led by somebody who isn't a completely power-crazed nutter and are thus on the winning side in WWII.
I'm sure somebody could enlighten me as to the name of this book, it's temporarily escaped my recall.
great thread topic.
it would definately be the dark ages for me, would love to travel round York and see what it would have REALLY been like during the time of the bubonic plague, the highway men and the witch hunts......
the ghost walk of york is fantastic during the winter and the guy who does it scares the living shit out of you, the stories (loosely based on fact) are quality as well, def recommend to anyone visiting.
anyway again great thread.

Don't know that book.. but nature abhors a vacuum, and whos to say that if we were to go back in time and kill any of the evil dictators or monsters from over the centuries, that they wouldn't have there space filled by someone equally or even more evil?

Blimey....where do i start..would i go back in time for my own personal gain or for the good of mankind
It would be for the good of mankind for me !!
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!!
If it was personal gain.....i'd go back to in time to discover Elvis Presley and become his manager!

Hmmm beware, apparently she experimented on her maids to pick the most effective poison :shock:

Bah, she only ever pulled the emperors... No big strong men in uniforms, only skinny gits rolled up in big white sheets. On the other hand I suppose it made them easier to unwrap !
Thomas-
Skinny dark-haired git myself but you won't catch me walking around in a toga :? (unless it improves my chances to impress WBB of course :lol: )
Sitting here waiting for my kids to make their fortnightly exodus to spend some time with me, I am torn between two directions on this one.
To discuss the principles behind the "don't alter history because it could cause more harm than good" theory - or wonder why Blue wants to see Homo Erectus.

some great threads on here, particularly like the one about real estate buying in silicone valley and the microsoft shares.......
got me thinking fuck the Dark Ages im off to Macha Pichu the Inca fortress of gold in Peru, would take a few modern day appliances like a ghetto blaster and a lighter or torch and make them think i was a God, would tell them they had to bury all their gold somewhere very secret (i would obviously know) and dig it up later on and rule the world wooohahahahahaaaaaaaa...........
also you guys (please dont hate me for thoeretically spoiling your theoretical fun) going back in time and shagging loads of people, like roman guys or 60's free love followers might be a REAL bad idea.....
imagine if you came back to the present day went to a munch and ended up sleeping with an immediate family member that you had created during one of your time travelling coppulations aaarrrrggghhhh!!!!
but then again it happens on a daily basis in the deep south, "ma brothers ma uncle" an all that...... :wink: :wink:

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.

or wonder why Blue wants to see Homo Erectus.
Cos I have an academic interest in human evolution, of course.
Here's the little fella in question:
... though I'd be more interested in observing their behaviour than checking whether scientists had got their anatomical details correct. Ooooh, I could write so many psych papers with the data, get published in Nature, and be a Professor in no time....
:lol: :lol: :lol: So, where do I buy one of these time machines? :lol: :lol: :lol:
Personally, I don't think I would want to go back in time....I am of the theory that the past is the past. Therefore I would rather use the time machine to look years into the future to see what was in store for future generations. I'd love to know what inventions they come up with next, what fantastic things we will be able to do or whether there is a future out there!

Hmmm.. c'mon Ms Amber... there must be some point in history that you'd love to see for real..
though you do have a point in zipping forwards... you could use it to cut out all the time between munches.. no post munch blues, no waiting for the next one to drag around...
Nah.. sod it... the Time Machine only goes backwards! (until you want to go home..)

Oh thats not fair!!!.......I can honestly say I wouldn't want to go back in time.....women were often treat like slaves in the past and I would probably have been beaten by my caveman husband for speaking my mind! lol
In that case I guess I would go back a week or so and get the winning lottery numbers!
