    Follow the old spice trail from China to Europe on a camel.
    Visit Bedlam, just to see if its any different from the average town center on a Friday night?
    Visit Bethlehem around Christmas, 0BC and see if any of the story is correct.

    I’d like to go back to the fondly-remembered days of the first Lottery draws – then immediately after that, I’d amuse myself by dabbling with pre-boom property. Ah, that would be fun.

    Smoking before it was bad for you. In the pub. While making sexist remarks. Possibly while slapping someones arse 😀

    I’d quite like to revisit the drugs from the early 90’s too

    It wouldn’t be the same 🙁 Closest you can come to doing it properly in the modern age would be trampling miners.

    It’s also to my greatest regret that I wasn’t born a couple of years earlier, so I could have played more of an active role in the acid house era.

    Would also loved to been around the studio 54 scene etc

    Afghanistan before it got too mental.
    India at the height of the Indian Raj not when us Brits had it.
    Opium is fun. Had a few nice days with the Hmong tribesman when I snuck into China 15 years ago.
    Oh yeah some of those super hot black chicks who were at the weird religious thing at the velodrome when I met you rusty. Don’t pretend you didn’t see them.
    Am I still allowed to say super hot black chicks?

    There were a few girls I wish I’d tried. Went out with some saucy bints when I was 14-15ish but didn’t realise what my little old fella was actually for!! (WTF?) & more to the point, didn’t realise what they were after!
