loppylugs 8,429 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I'd like to go back to the Germany of J.S. Bach (1700s) I'm learning to play the organ. Love his music and I think he'd make a pretty good teacher. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I'd go back a few generations and ask the questions I can't find the answers to, for family history. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
letsavagoo 963 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I would go to Cambrai Northern France 21st March 1918 about 4am. I would find my Grandfather and tell him to get the hell out of there. He was killed in the huge German attack at dawn that day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gibbo 04 188 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I would go back to the late 60's and early 70's and get to know my Grandad, as he died around 1972. I was in awe of him as a nipper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Go forward one week and get the worldwide lottery results....then come back. That would do me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 There's some really touching things on here; I'll have a long, hard think and then get back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I'd go back to Renaissance times; I see this period in history as being similar to the 1960's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 In the vein of quite a few contributions here I'd really like to go back to 1920s Edinburgh and talk to my grannie who died when my dad was just four years old leaving two little boys without a mum. I have never known how she died. On a general and curious note, I'd rather like to have witnessed the Danes marching from York down to sack Nottingham (circa 800). By all accounts they would have passed along the A60 at Redhill, very close to where I live. This would have to have been from the vantage point of peaking from behind a safe hedge of course Quote Link to post Share on other sites
piggy and babs 544 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 like kath i would love to go back in time to find answers to some of my faimily history stuff especially about 1900 when my great grandmother came out of the workhousei would love to ask her about her husband and how and when she went into the workhouse after his death when he was just 26 years old but i would love to know about her life in the workhouse and how she manage to get herself out and begin a normal life again and what happend to my grand mother during this period .as i have been unable to find her. the only other time i would love to go back to would be mid to late sixtiesand relive my own pasti wonder if i would do things differently i dont think so maybe a few things in hindsight but in the main no.

poohbear 1,360 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Your very being depends on the tiniest twist of fate...that farmgirl....if her cold hadn't got better and she hadn't gone to the village dance in 1728 where she caught the attention of your G/G/G/G/G/G/G/Grandfather....You wouldn't be here now.It boggles the mind when you think about it. Think of the farmgirl in Bavaria at the same time....if she'd stayed home maybe Hitler would never have been. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 How big is this time machine ? I'd go back to July 1940 with a fully kitted out Eurofighter Typhoon (Including trained pilot) and plenty of spare ordnance, and see just how much better one modern fighter is compared to those beautiful birds from back then.
