I'd go back to being 18 but I'd take my knowledge and experience back with me. :)

Didn't Einstein's theory of relativity kick up lots of stuff about time travel?

I'd go back to 1707, and become possibly the first political terrorist......by assassinating all those who got us into the Union of the Parliaments.........the Union of the Crowns was bad enough.......Parliaments was a huge step too far!!

I'd go back to the 1940s, just to see how hard life was for the woman of the house with no mod cons. Thank goodness we've got technology, but on the other hand, we have to visit a gym to get fit. Maybe there is something to be said for no washing machines, hoovers etc.

If I could go back in time I think I would bust the axle of the truck that moved us from Thurso to the South when I was a nipper. Then I wouldn't be having to battle with Mrs T about going back up for a holiday.:roll:

In modern times I would like to do the sixties over again, and as somebody has already said, take my knowledge and experience back with me. But who knows, maybe I would miss out on all the fun then.

Going back in time I would probably like to go to ancient Egypt to see how they built the pyramids.

I didn't miss out on all the fun in the 60s, I just can't remember any of it.

I set the recorder to record Easy Rider early this morning, that might bring back a few happy memories.

I would want to live in the 50s with my knowledge and experience I have now.

But i wouldn't want to change anything or assasinate anyone one because who would go in their place may be worse.

I would go back 20 years and make a living by putting some sure bets on the nags and footie. Also I would invest in some gooder movers and avoid the shakers. Oh, and I would also be under serious FBI and MI5 investigations for predicting world events and announcing them in a loud oafish manner in my local pub.

I would go back to the 'other side' and change my mind about coming here again in the first place. :lol:

OR,
at a push go back to victorian times (as long as I was one of the well off. lol) when men were men and women were glad of it.:lol:

I would go back to the 1960s and rub out everyone that has ruined the image of nuclear power throught their incompetance.

The Chernobyl survivors would have been okay. Rubbing out incompetence in the 1960's should have prevented that disaster.

Totally agree with this. Who was it again that split the atom? Was it someone Oppenheimer? Whoever it was opened a Pandora's Box, caused coutless deaths, a cold war and now, as mentioned, nuclear disasters worldwide.

You could rub out all the people in the 40s. All that would happen was it would be developed in the 50's.

And a cold war was a damn sight better than a real one, which the threat of nuclear holocust prevented.

"Nuclear disasters worldwide" Worldwide????

Sensationalist rubbish.

I'm still waiting to die from the after effects of the fire at Windscale.

I wouldn't go back in time because I've already heard the end of the story.
I want to go forward a few thousand years to see what archaeologists and historians make of the lunatic ideas we are dreaming up now.

By then we will be ranked with people who predicted the future by reading animal's entrails and worried about sailing off the edge of the world. :p

Thurso, in the 50s, and the birth of rock and roll. Or in Edwardian times: Bandstands, summer - without disease.

I'd like to travel back in time to the Victorian or Edwardian era. I love the clothes, hairstyles, furniture and architecture, as well as the refined manners. I'm fascinated by films and costume dramas that take place in that period of time! One of my favourite movies is "Somewhere in Time", starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour, which was made in 1980. Christopher Reeve plays a Chicago playwright of the 1970s, who is staying at an old grand hotel in Michigan. He falls in love with the vintage portrait of a beautiful woman there, whom he learns was an actress who performed in plays at the hotel in the early 1900s. He is so fascinated, that he gleans information on 'time travel' from an old college professor, and manages to propel himself back in time to meet the beauty from days gone by.....
