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.

    • Every year they ask for more and every year it is an exhausting process pushing back on that for local residents and councillors. What annoys me is that at the post event consultation/ feedback this year, I specifically asked them if the rumours around applying for two weekends next year were true. They told me no. So that was a lie. Anyway, we go again.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
