If you could travel back in time to one historical event, what would it be?

Go back and give Franz Ferdinands driver some directions......

Yeh and I'd piss myself if you didn't get off in time and it started sailing, so you then went to jump over board and a guard stopped you and then you got all aggressive and then they chucked you in a cell at bottom of ship and you started shouting that you had to be left off because you had to reply to this thread on boards but you couldn't because your stuck on that dam ship and you are going down .....

Your not so smart now are ye ....

I think for me it would have to be the assassination of JFK. I'd love to witness it first hand on the grassy knoll and see if any of the conspiracy theories stack up.

I could not pick there are so many I often think of what event or time in the past I would like to have been at, it one of my favourite day dreams.

Not an event as such - really one big party. Would have loved to have gone to Studio 54 in NYC every weekend at the height of it's popularity simply because I LOVE disco and I LOVE NYC!!

Be grand if he met some beur onboard first who could go down and find him and free him when the ship started sinking. She could get an axe and have a test go on some wooden press but then try break off the handcuffs despite the test go not going so well.

Or back to the snow we had 2 years ago! :cool:

You would be better off going back to 1910 to see Halley's comet it wasn't as clear in 1986.

I'd love to go back to Dublin about 300 years ago with a small digital camera and have a stroll around

lord lucan · 22-01-2013 01:53PM

I'd love to have been in the bunker in Berlin in April 1945 to see what Hitlers final hours were like.

That's for sure though I wouldn't call the birth of a maggot historical

It was pretty crap TBH.

Like to see dinosaurs, or go even further back to just when plants and animals first made it onto land, orback further again when life was just in the oceans and look up at night at a moon 3 times the size in the sky. You'd need an oxygen mask for that though. In dino times it would be boiling hot and with extra O2 so that might be uncomfortable too. Meeting Neadertals would be another brilliant one.

Historical? Seeing the pyramids when new, or walking through the streets of ancient Athens would be well cool,

ITS_A_BADGER · 22-01-2013 02:10PM

does it have to be back on time on earth? id love to go back and watch neil armstrongs first steps from the moon standing just opposite the lunar module that would be fricken amazing!

GPO 1916

Killer Wench · 22-01-2013 02:14PM

1400s at the time of first Europeans, either Africa or North America

I'd tell them not to let the pale faces on land.

Vienna, pre WW1. To find a struggling artist, punch him in the face hard and say "That's for the Jews!"

He then spends his next decade brooding over how dem ****ing jews got him a punch in the face that he didnt deserve and resolves to settle their hash once and for all..

I'd go back to meet Halley for a drink, get him plastered, use his telescope and get to see Maninasia's Comet returning every 76 years

.

Ilyana 2.0 · 22-01-2013 02:50PM

I'd go to Washington during the Vietnam War, to witness the anti-war protests and whatnot.

But I'd also like to see ancient Rome and Greece. And Victorian London. And the inter-war years in Germany, to see what sort of atmosphere produced Nazi domination there.

D-Day would be cool to witness too.

maninasia · 22-01-2013 02:51PM

I would go back to meet Giordano Bruno, tell him a bit about the state of the universe as we know it. He'd probably say I knew a lot of that already.
Then I'd give him an option to teleport to the future where he belonged away from the Catholic Church, perhaps not to Ireland though.
