I also think that you should not be limited to one period of the past or future. You are able to do something like the following:


Go watch the 1966 World Cup Final, then pop off for dinner with King Arthur, go to the Sydney Olympics, eat a Brontosaurus steak, come back to today and tell your mates about what you have seen and then go to Woodstock.

1) I'd like to have gone back to two days ago when I would have dialled 999 when I suspected the English sounding voice coming from my upstairs neighbours were not my neighbours who are actually Eastern Europeans. I would also have waited for him, the burglar there at the time, to come out. Then the police would have possibly caught him.

2) I'd like to go forward to get the lottery numbers but hey - that's silly. Then given heaps of money to my neighbours who had everything taken.

3) I'd like to go back and done something to prevent Tony Blair getting in power despite the joy in 1997 when he did so. Everything's gone wrong with spin and target league table culture. So may have had to have done something there.

4) I'd see myself a year before I die. If I am ill, I'll know to kill myself to prevent the year's agony for those who love me. If I am not ill I will suspect I should possibly die all of a sudden, so I shall carry on trying to enjoy life.


Of course, today may BE a year before I die. Heyyy, who started this topic.


I'll get me coat...

So it coudl be argued that he's not actually your dad anyway, as you killed him you would not be here to go back... Time to raise some awkward questions with your mum then....sorry! :-)

I'd like to go back to the early 1960s to see people like the Rolling Stones, the Who, the Yardbirds and the Small Faces at the places like the Crawdaddy Club and Eel Pie Island and the Marquee Club.

Although I was around at that time I was only a nipper and obviously far too young to go to such places but seeing those bands up close in a hot sweaty club must have been amazing.

I think I'd like to go 20 years into the future and swot up on everything that had happened in those 20 years. Then I'd go back to present day and start spouting prophesies so i would be worshipped and could take over the world. Nyaahahahaa (evil laugh).

Ok just to negate any confusion over suppressed aggression towards my parents or my possible parentage I would leave my poor old dad alone and go backwards a few days and kill myself. Just to see how the old space-time continuum would handle it.


If the entire universe ceases to have ever existed and god packs his bags for warmer climes well? sorry but at least I can say it was my fault. If indeed I had ever existed to cause anything to be blamed for and if cause and effect (which are critically realisable on time) still existed (of course concepts like ?still? and ?existed? would mean nothing as would ?meaning?)


Although I suspect it isn?t all so simple.

    • At it's peak I recall 16 Furkin pubs, all brewing their own.    The first pub was the Goose, followed by the Ferret, the wonderful Pheonix, Fox and one other, not necessarily in that order, when I discovered them. I did all 16 on public transport in one day with a group many years ago, if Guinness had a record this would be one, as everyone else would hire a minibus. Reverting to Wiki, it maxed out with 19 home brew pubs, and many more not brewing before the end: chain was established in 1979 by David Bruce as Bruce's Brewery, the Firkin Brewery grew as a chain of mostly brewpubs offering cask ale. It was acquired by Midsummer Leisure in 1988, Stakis Leisure in 1990 and then by Allied Domecq in 1991; by 1995 the chain had 44 pubs, 19 of which brewed beer on site.[1] In 1999, Punch Taverns bought the entire chain and the rights to the Firkin brand,[2] and then sold 110 of the pubs to Bass, leaving 60 Firkin pubs under Punch ownership.[3] The brewery side of the chain was wound up, and in March 2001 Punch announced that the Firkin brand was to be discontinued.[4] 
    • Hello! I’m looking to collect some pallets and MDF boards from anyone in the area who has some and no longer needs them?   It would also be a huge bonus if anyone has a PA sound system I could rent/borrow/buy off them.   Thank you in advance!
    • That was the best "pound shop", a great selection of products, sadly it and the chain went to the wall as they say. 
    • I used to enjoy the 50p shop in Liverpool, it merged with it's sister pound shop in 1999 https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/newsliverpool/lost-liverpool-shop-never-charged-more-than-50p-for-anything/ar-AA1rB1Z6 According to BoE inflation calculator it would be the £1.60 shop if still around now, although based on the increase in a pint of beer more like the £4 shop, or the reliable mars bar inflation indicator about £3. That of course is the issue with the premise that everything will remain at a certain price.  There were three pound stores in Peckham, one had a strange strap line that many products were a pound or less, so many were over a quid (pre Covid days).
