Hey guys, 

 

If you could go back in time to witness an event from history what would it be? Would you like to know if the dinosaurs had feathers or scales? Would you go and find out who really shot JFK? Or watch England win the world cup in 1966? 

 

To avoid creating a temporal paradox lets assume our time machine only allows us to observe the past and not interact with anyone or change the outcome of any historical events. wink

Well here's one I dug up 33 years earlier. The blue Peter capsule. I remember when they planted that. It wasn't supposed to be dug up for another 33 years

Aww, spoilsport @Martin-O2! I don't mind a temporal paradox if it means I can nip back to October 1945 and offer Fred Trump a supply of Durex! Smiley Very Happy

@Anonymous Haha I saw that, they messed up big time! 

 

@Wa10 We have to protect the space-time continuum I'm afraid wink

 

@MI5 That would be fascinating, I'd watch a good old western gunfight!

I think a lot of people would nip back a week and get the lotto numbers, I would wink

I'm fascinated with history so there's no end to where I would go.  Maybe I could woo Kylie Minogue before she became famous Smiley LOL

 

I'd like to observe the ancient cultures such as the egyptians pharoahs etc

Thanks

Steve

I would like to go back to Stonehenge times to prove the theorists wrong. Alternatively 1977 would be a good year to revisit, Queen and Freddie and Bowie in their prime, ManU stuffed Liverpool in the FA Cup Final and we had a glorious summer and street parties for Her Majesty...oh and I was a young man!

Pah!! Stuffed?
2-1 iirc is hardly a stuffing tongue
Ah yes, I remember it was only 4 days later they won the European cup final 3-1 against Borussia so probably put out a second team LOL
