If you could travel back in time, where would you like to go?

I'd like go to Tombstone, Arizona around the early 1880's . It'd be great to see Wyatt, Doc and the boys in action.

How's about ye?

saintsaltynuts · 08-04-2014 06:40PM

Temple Bar.City Centre 1985 ish.

Clifford Byron · 08-04-2014 06:45PM

I'd go back about 2000 years, just to see what the craic was, like

AgileMyth · 08-04-2014 06:46PM

Last friday. Petrol station in Letterkenny. I had a delicious sandwich sitting outside it on a nice warm night.

Its the simple things lads.

30 seconds ago.

kfallon · 08-04-2014 06:49PM

Na go on, you head off there on your own, I'm grand here thanks!

Sir Arthur Daley · 08-04-2014 06:52PM

The swinging 60s.

nc19 · 08-04-2014 06:55PM

Back to the dinosaurs........if they are there

PizzamanIRL · 08-04-2014 07:01PM

Back to bed.

Pyr0 · 08-04-2014 07:04PM

Ancient Rome at the height of it's power.

suffering golfer · 08-04-2014 07:06PM

About 100AD for me... would have like to seen the Roman empire in it's prime.

Edit: Beaten to it by Pyr0

ScumLord · 08-04-2014 07:07PM

I'd go back and see if Jesus really existed.

I'd like to see ancient Rome but I'd wonder how I'd be received. I basically look like a northern barbarian, I'd probably be taller than 90% of people around at the time. The smell of an ancient city would probably have me on the verge of spewing the whole time and maybe my teeth and glasses would make me look like some sort of demigod.

Would people run away screaming at the site of me or grovel before me?

I was there. It wasnt all that.

Molester Stallone · 08-04-2014 07:08PM

July 1888 & at the point Alois Hitler is about to shoot his load, scream at him to pull out!

mrsbyrne · 08-04-2014 07:09PM

1983. Sort a few things out for myself.

just tell them you're a mod, and they'd grovel

131spanner · 08-04-2014 07:10PM

I'd go back to February and go to more lectures this semester. Fook.

I think they would probably try to kill you.

America during the cuban missile crisis in the 1960s. The closest thing to the world actually ending. I wonder how fear was felt in a city like NYC

Daveysil15 · 08-04-2014 07:12PM

1999. The choons were great and the birds got their bits out for no reason.

namenotavailablE · 08-04-2014 07:12PM

November 1996. This time, I'd take the chance presented to me.

fermanagh_man · 08-04-2014 07:16PM

The summer of 2006 and sleep with that France girl again

Sleepy · 08-04-2014 07:16PM

Last Friday around 6pm with the winning Euromillions numbers.

50's America could be interesting to visit as a white man. A period of real economic exuberance and optimism. Mid 90's Palo Alto would be a fantastic period to go back to if you wanted to make astronomical amounts of money: even the janitor from the original eBay staff is a multi-millionaire.

K.Flyer · 08-04-2014 07:21PM

Back to the MAYANs, tell em that their calender was wrong and that all their human sacrifices were for nothing.
More importantly, back about 35 years, find me and give myself a good talking to.

Did the Mayans speak English?......guessing you'd end up as sacrifice number 1 on that day!

md23040 · 08-04-2014 07:29PM

April 2007 - and sell my entire Bulgarian/Irish buy-to-let property portfolio.

olliesgirl55 · 08-04-2014 07:29PM

I'd go back to 2007 and stop myself from making the biggest mistake of my life.
Other than that I'd go back to the mid to late 90's and buy stock in one of the dot com start up but I will make sure I write a note to sell before the dot com bubble burst. Then I'd come back today where I'd be rich:D

You'd think so but I'd bet they'd want to consult the gods first, they were a very superstitious people. That should give me enough time to explain steel and soap.

Mint Aero · 08-04-2014 07:40PM

I'd go back to before time began.

I would be speaking to them through the ACME voice translatafone, handy gadget you pop into your mouth, you can buy them cheap in PC Universe in about two hundred years time.
