    I would have went to mount calvary bookmakers around 33 AD and made a pretty unlikely bet:p

    Except with that particular dictator it's probably in a cattle cart heading for your last ever shower.

    Well I could go back and make a different choice on a particular day but you know what? You just don't know what effect that little change will have on your whole entire future. It's too easy to think "what if"...... People always assume that if things had been different the outcomes would be positive and that simply isn't the case. Sliding doors and all that jazz.

    Don't live life with regrets, they'll only get you down.

    Oh balls. After hours, emmmm, I'd go to Friday night and get the euro millions numbers.

    go back and grab Nicola Tesla after he was blacklisted by JP Morgan and bring him to the present to solve energy crisis, thereby solving world peace, I'm great. I should get a parade... or at least a thanks.

    I would go back and find out what really happened before the big bang


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,816 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush


    I thought this was about the last Rush tour.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,194 ✭✭✭saa


    I'm sure if I went back and made sure something good would happen to me or stop something bad happening I would return to the present with no arms or legs or something.

    Destroy it, as I don't see things ending well with time travel.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,318 ✭✭✭patrickbrophy18


    Time paradoxes aside:D:

    • I would go back to the beginning of the 00's and warn the country not to get caught up in the overspending spree that ultimately put us in this mess (the very much cliched "R" word:mad:).
    • I too, would invest large sums of money into Google, Microsoft, Apple and also Oracle.
    • Advise myself not to do transition year (biggest waste of time and a year I'll never get back:()
    • Prevent the once vast public transportation network in this country from being nationalized.
    • Attend some of the best festivals and concerts in history including Woodstock!:) Peace out!
    After all is done, I would go to The Clock Tower, accelerate to 88 Miles/Hour and make sure I pass The Clock Tower at the exact moment the lightning strikes.


    Observe the outcome, :eek:, "You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!":rolleyes:

    I'll tell you what I'd do if I had a time machine: two chicks at the same time.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,515 ✭✭✭LH Pathe


    I'd go back to 1977 and have the greatest time right up til britpop dropped


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,390 ✭✭✭IM0


    back in time about 10 years

    Are you sure a time machine is needed for that??? :D
    I'm sure you could put a time machine to better use, like say - cure cancer or something! :P

    Forward to Friday night, note Euromillions numbers, come back buy a ticket and laugh all the way to the bank.

    That, of course, is assuming I only get one trip in the machine. Otherwise I'd invest in a Fez, a bow-tie and start referring to myself as The Doctor.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,952 ✭✭✭Lando Griffin


    I would have gone back to last year and spread some 10/10/20 so I could have got a third cut of silage, and not be having to have the cattle feeding off bought fodder now.:mad:
    Its the last time I will be taking any heed off that weather guru in New Zeland.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 556 ✭✭✭jethro081


    go forward a week, write down the results of every sporting event i can, come back, put on a few accumulators. win big.

    then id forget about the time machine, and just enjoy not having to worry about cash.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 833 ✭✭✭southcentralts


    would absolutely have to pull pranks on my past self everyday for a year.


    also watch the movie PRIMER again while going back in time,
    if you have seen it you will get it!.

    good call, we have reached a level where there are things we can take care of, and for everything else, we just need to get rid of mastercard (among others). 50 or 100 years in the future would look pretty sweet to me.

    Does money really make the world go round or is it simply an antiquated lube which is jamming up the gears.
