An hour or two before our big bang. But I would stipulate a clause whereby if there was a place like earth there before the big bang I would want to go on back to that world's big bang and so on and so forth until I see what was there before any big bangs. Or else I'm not playing.
Can I have two visits, please?

Firstly, I would want to have a very long discussion with Jesus to ask him what he REALLY said before St Paul decided to spin the story .......

........ and then I'd zoom forward several hundred years and chat with Mohammed to wheedle out the chinks in his armour.
I would like to hear the cermon on the mount first hand.
I would like to be where Naomi's second choice is but with different intention. Just to be there at that time. Thats all.
If i could time travel, what would i do?

I'd love a chat with Galileo, but i reckon i'd have had a visit from these guys

I'd like to have been around to see the tuatha de danaan battle the firbolg.

I'd bring a video camera to visit Joshua Ben Yusef and watch his face drop when I tell him what people will do in his name.

I'd like to go visit the pyramids when they were fresh and shiny, and watch as the people even then wondered where the sphinx came from - and then I'd go find out where the sphinx came from.

I'd have tea with Aleister Crowley.

As a fan of 'Goodnight Sweetheart' a visit to 1941 would be an education.

Imagine sitting beside Aristotle and sniggering.

I'd visit camelot.

I'd make my way to the foundation stone of Newgrange and carve Whickerman Woz Ere into it, just to confuse the hell out of, well, everyone.

I'd love to have been at Elvis' comeback gig, or see the Beatles in the Cavern, and then head to woodstock.

I'd go re-live some of the great concerts I've been to - Pixies in the National Stadium Dublin 1990(it's a boxing club, so really small), Depeche Mode in the Point 1993, the Cure in the RDS, U2 in Cork (Joshua Tree tour, support by the Dubliners and UB40 - my first gig), Lynyrd Skynyrd & Deep Purple double header, Kula Shaker in the Olympia, MCR last year.

But I think my first stop would be the early 80's so that i could slap some sense into my teenage self and then buy some microsoft shares. And look at HER just one more time.

Hell, you know what? We live in great times, and in the future people will want to come here. This past few decades has seen man lift himself up by his bootstraps and elevate himself to the s
...damn limits

...stars. I'm happy to live here and now and to have lived these past decades - interesting times. But if it's going, I'll take a ticket on the timeship, thanks.
If Whicker doesn't mind me hitching a lift, I'll go to the pyramids with him because I'd like to find out where the sphinx came from too ........ and I'd like to go back to the days of Adam and Eve, and of Moses ..... to find out exactly who that old devil 'God' really was.
Hmmm, think i would go back to when Jules Verne built his time machine and see how he did it...
I would love to be a spectator of the Great Siege of Malta 1565, from start to finish.
It has taken a considerable portion of a lifetime for me to get a clue about how to live in the here-and-now and just to demonstrate how little I've learned so far, assuming this is only a visit to the past I would like to go back to last week just long enough to purchase one lottery ticket . . . with these numbers
I would be just ten, maybe fiftenn years older than I am - born around 1944, so I could witness the birth of rock and roll and enjoy the impact of Elvis, and maybe see Little Richard in his pomp (adour!)
Whickerman...count me in on that trip!!! Naomi and I are coming along too.
Cor, sounds like this excursion with Whicker is turning into a party! Great stuff! :o)
