time travel

uncle ernie

If you could travel back in time to any era, which would you choose and why. You can choose to actively participate or just observe a la Bill Murray in Scrooged.
I reckon i would go back to last years electric picnic seein as i missed half of the flaming lips show

I'd like to go back to the 60's... everything was so new and exciting.

Dudess

Where to begin? Swinging 60s London, Woodstock and San Francisco in '69, London in '77 at the height of punk (Christ, now I'm starting to sound like Sandie Thom), Disco New York, London in the late 80s for acid house warehouse parties. Ditto Manchester. Actually, Manchester any time between the late 70s and early 90s.

DOLEMAN

Are we stuck there or can we come back?

I'd like to see the Dinosaurs and meet this Jesus fella.

Idgeitman

Ruu_Old

ah sure if it wasnt him it would be somebody else

Feral Mutant

I wouldn't go back too far. There are plenty of historical charcters I'd want to meet but older times were generally hard what with the lack of electronics, bathroom hygienics and there'd be a lot of disease. I'd probably go back a few years and live them over again. Only problems are that other people may notice I suddenly got older and I would have to kill my past self. Actually I may do that anyway just to see what happens.

Yeah, and to punch Mick Hucknall (if he was there).

CurtisHeaven

I'd go back to stop the man who invented air conditioning.... "I'm soooo ccccccold"

CurtisHeaven

I would go back a few weeks to when someone last posted this same question. I'd then report the post so that it would make it look like this post was new and interesting to me.

I'd go back a couple of years to retrieve an IBM 5100. It might come in very handy.
