    Yes.
    About 2013 years.
    Curiosity.

    Yes, 70 years, to Hitler’s bunker.

    I’ve seen sci-fi films, I know messing with history is a really bad thing. So I wouldn’t kill Hitler, but I reckon wedgies and Chinese burns would be okay.

    Yep.

    To tell myself to just stick with the BEng + placement. This MEng is going to kill me.

    Although saying that, I’m in quite a good place at the minute; many nice bikes, good mates, a girl that accepts that at least one bike comes first.

    Yep,
    Around 25 years.
    It would be kind of nice living a life where you knew some of the otherwise unknowns. Buy some cheap property, always selling at the height of the market invest in apple shares, note down the numbers of any rollover lottery draws, grand national winners etc. Then just enjoy the randomness of everything else without ever worrying about the money.

    I don’t think it started ’till the mid 90’s but It would be funny to win the lottery three weeks on the bounce, everyone would know it was wrong but how could they prove it was dodgy?

    Stand on the grassy knoll and shout duck.

    There’s tons of stuff I’d like to see and tons of stuff I’d like to change, tbh, as long as I can remember this life why not also live another? Not saying it’ll be better or worse but 2 lives is better than one.

    Might be daft, first stop would be Donington Park, Monsters of Rock 1994- basically the day I started being a music lover, genuinely crazily lifechanging sitting at home listening to the radio almost feeling your brain reprogram itself. “This is what you do now”

    I remember reading a book that started with the premise of “what if JFK had ducked”. It didn’t end well – basically suggesting that his various, uh, proclivities, didn’t do the USA much good.

    And About Time, while a bit soppy, actually does quite a good job of showing the “having two lives” part. Worth a watch, and I think it talks a lot of sense – rather than trying to change the world, how about just taking the time to really live, and *really* enjoy your life?

    HI from 30 years in the future.

    Scotland isn’t independent anymore the Russians took them over because Berwick; which became part of the Scotland again; broke their treaty so Russia went back to war with them. The south is still damp, but slowly drying out. I’m in my 70s and still can’t retire as the Conservatives got back in power 3 years ago they extended retirement age for NHS staff to 80 but then sold the NHS off to their corporation mates. Apart from that everything is awesome, oh except for the giant monsters that rose out of the the depths of the ocean they’re 50 stories high.

    Yes
    1955 in Hill Valey, California
    To nick the Delorean
    There’s lots to change, I’d make it my business to do so. Funding would come from popping back, buying something, going forward and selling it, usually to rip off twunks like bankers, I’d invent Facebook before Zukkerburg,? Bet on Red Rum, put 1p in the bank in say 1664 whilst visiting France to see Kronenburg getting invented and so on.

    First, I’d kill Hitler though, in 1914 in the First World War moments before offing Blair at birth.

    Who wouldn’t?
    The best films suggest you’d be limited to your own lifetime.
    To stop myself going to university. What a waste of time.
    I’d change a lot of choices around that time. Get a job, straight into a final salary pension and buy a house while it was still affordable. If I worked my way up in the industry I’m in now, I’d be more experienced, better qualified, better paid and better at it.

    Football has been abolished which helped in works peace and solved the poverty through out the world due to all the spare cash.

    I would like to go back to a time before metalled roads and ride the most awesome trail network ever. Imagine the A5 past Llyn Ogwen as a rocky trail…

    The old A5 from Oggers to Capel is still an unmade road.
    Goes behind the campsite.
    Tends to be a bit moist, but safer and more fun than the main road.
    😀

    There’s some tarmac between Ogwen Cottage and Bethesda, but not all of it.

    I know, but the main road and all the tourists are there nowadays. There are many other roads that would be brilliant.. even the normal network of country lanes would be ace as trails 🙂

    I think you’d have to do a bit of personal shit, and at the same time do the lottery numbers. So

    1. Yes, durr obvs
    2. A couple of years
    3. Not organise a party
    4. Apart from going to the co-op to put my lottery numbers up. I’d have had a easier life

    Mon grips move to Yorkshire then imagine roads which had tarmac but look like they only just survived the apocolypse

    I like those trails in the Lakes that are roads in all but tarmac. There are quite a few bits and pieces around Cardiff that are like that too, but you can’t go far without bumping into a tarmac one.

    Maybe every time someone invents a time machine and goes backwards in time they unintentially alter history so that they aren’t born, meaning that they pop out of existance and the time machine was therefore never invented. This is probably the reason why we don’t have time machines.
