Re: Time Travel

If'd quite like to go back to the '60's, but only if I could go as a teenager knowing what I know now! There's be no point going back as a 65 year old.

Depends if my family came with me we could stay there but I wouldn't want to leave my husband and family here and go alone.

I don't think I would want try to change anything. My husband's brain haemorrhage, which has left him with only half a usuable brain was obviously a BIG negative in our lives. Sometimes I think it would have been kinder to him if he hadn't survived, as he can't do anything of a scholastic nature, which is his greatest love. But I don't think going back and putting a pillow over his face, whilst he was in a coma, would have been a particularly good idea, although tempting at the time.

I have no favourite time in history, my least favourite subject at school, even though I did get a school prize in it once, among my other school prizes, they must have been desperate!

What do you mean "IF time travel was possible"? You have obviously never ridden an exercise bike. Get on one of those and time slows down and life stretches out interminably before you.

Re: Time Travel

Id like to go back to the begining of time and see which theory is right ...
Id also like to go to cathar times and live a little french history....
Id like to see the history of my house so would go back one year for 200 years and see who lived there and when it was built
Yes also the 60's and all the music festivals
Infact Id be popping in and out of the dam machine that much my head would be spinning
Although I expect in time Ryan air would get it and rip us all off until we couldnt afford to take any more trips

or live in a flat below someone with a rowing machine has much the same effect on time we find.
