    The 'travelling 1000 years back in time' thread got me thinking. If you could live in any era past, present or future, what would it be? Middle ages? Jesus time? 10/100/1000 years into the future?

    I like the idea of kings, castles and dragons and shit in the middle ages, but it'd probably get a bit boring with no internet or TV

    Can you bring cadillacs with you? If so, dinosaurs.

    around 1700 to 1800, could hopefully get a job as a watch maker and 'invent' a few things on the side

    1920's Paris as a rich American would be great.

    I dunno...I'm kinda glad we don't have dragons any more like they did in the middle ages :eek:

    The age of aquarius. All those hot 70's chicks from benny hill running around in slightly speeded up mode with the funny little slaphead being all annoyed. Thems were the days.

    Euromillions jackpot was 150,000,000 a few weeks ago. Id look up the winning numbers and then go back to the day before the draw and buy me a ticket.

    The early 1990's

    To be coming of age in the 1930s so I could head out west and make a career for myself in the talkies.

    I'd like to live in the time when women knew their goddamn place!

    *runs and hides


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,029 ✭✭✭SusieBlue


    The 1940's/1950's in America, I think.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,336 ✭✭✭wendell borton


    I'd go back to August 4, 1997 and stop skynet before it became self aware.

    As a musician, some time around the middle of the 60's/early 70's when rock and roll and heavy metal were still as pure as the driven snow.

    Seeing Led Zeppelin/Black Sabbath/Jimi Hendrix in their prime?
    Yes ****ing please.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola


    I'd love to spend just one day in Ancient Rome.
    Just enough time to walk the streets, visit the temples and see a gladiatorial battle in the Colosseum. Living there wouldnt be very pleasant so one day would do fine.


  • Registered Users Posts: 25,243 ✭✭✭✭Jesus Wept


    The future obviously.

    The 1980s. I was only born in 87 so I can't remember, I missed out on the music and it was the best music ever, be it metal or pop/synth. I love 80s related stuff like GTA, Hot Tub Time Machine etc. It was also the best decade for movies and Liverpool were the best team around. It just seems like the best decade ever.

    Yeah


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,109 ✭✭✭MaxSteele


    1982/83 up as far as before the 2008 recession ... get the cheesy sunglasses , suit, mullet and then on into the early days of underground raves in the late 80's and early 90's. I'd also get to experience the era of Italia 90' and jack Charlton.
    Life just seemed more simple before all that.
