    ......what would you do?

    Would you go back in time and change something that you regret doing, or not doing? Or would you go into the future?

    I would drink a pint of my own urine.

    If? :cool:

    Go back to midnight last night and climb into bed!

    I'd go back in time and leave my first wife standing at the alter... :D

    Back to the Future?
    No, too scary - I reckon there'll be either some pandemic wiping out the entire human race, a massive meteor hitting the planet or we will have effectively ruined the planet with all our consumerism and waste of resources that climate change to an extreme is inevitable.
    Hopefully I won't be around when all of that sh*t is going down :D

    Would I change anything - standards answer: prevent wars and starvation in the past... (I am after all at a beauty pageant and We DO all want world peace! :D)

    Other than that, I would go back to the 60s/70s - great music, clothes and haircuts! More freedom for all and loads of drugs, sex and rockn roll - who could say no to that? :P

    I'd go back and convince my parents to invest heavily in Google.

    The money made from that would give me the money needed to build a time machine, and with a time machine I could do anything I wanted! Mwahahahahaha.

    Go forward and get the euromillions results

    go back and run over Bertie

    I am constantly travelling through time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,037 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Crinklewood


    I would not buy Eircom shares.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,653 ✭✭✭Ghandee


    Mine is a very simple one.


    When I was offered a sponsorship by a very large, and now successful mining company in W.A, I would not have said no thanks, as Ireland is in a boom and I'lll be ok when I get home. (2004)

    Bad, bad mistake on so many levels!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 235 ✭✭Username99


    I'd go back and change everything...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    Go to the future, find out what simplistic thing makes loads of money, go back to present time, invent it, become rich, zero parodoxes affected.

    I would go back in time and tell Hitler not to invade the Soviet Union. Or if he really wants to to invade the Soviet Union then to concentrate only on it and to take Moscow straight away instead of heading to Stalingrad.

    I'd tell him not to allow Einstein to leave the country and to move his arnaments underground from the beginning.

    I'd travel back to the 1890's - 1910's and discover the oil for myself in the state of America.

    I'd travel back in time to every lottery and win them all.

    I'd go back and invest in Microsoft, Apple & Google.

    I'd travel back in time to when Sean Fitzpatrick walked into Dáil Eireann to ask for loads of monies & headbutt him

    I'd travel back in time to Padraig Pearse's time, give him a slap across the face & tell him Ireland is not ready to lead itself just yet and that we require at least another 200 yrs of British Rule

    And as for the decendants of all our TD's and government officials, well I won't say.....

    Why do anything like go back in time when you can just play Lotto?
    It could be you.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 606 ✭✭✭Jammy Donut


    That first GF I had......... She was a dirty bitch!



    I'd love to go back to that time again and smash all her doors in and every dirty thing imaginable.


    Why did I delete 'those' pics :(

    Wait...you'd give him advice that could have won the war for him? Hitler and the Nazi's? Really?:confused:

    Grabbed leonardo da vinci a day before he died and brought him into the future to show him that everything he ever came up with worked :cool:


    Greatest free thinker of all time :)

    Ye - pretty much, I think it would mix things up a little bit, make things interesting. At least with dictators you know where you stand in your country.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 606 ✭✭✭Jammy Donut


    I'd go back to yesterday to see were HardLuckWomans nipples really perky and on show......... :)


    I'll provide pics with custard if needed? :P
