If you had a time machine, what would be the first settings you'd put in?

(i'd love to take a few thousand disposable cameras back to 1584 - and pick 'em back up a month later) !
 
I'd invest a load of money & my second date would be to pick up the interest.

But I'd combine it with seeing my Gran, bless her. Trouble is, she'd have no idea who I was and I'd be messing with history...
 
Wouldn't want to go back too far. Yesterday would do, just to have a butchers at the lotto numbers.

Seriously, would probably go back to the 50s and 60s. Was there ever a better time to be living in the UK? Being born in the mid 60s, I missed most of the interesting stuff, although the 70s weren't bad if you were young and not scared by all the economic and industrial crises going on a the time.

The 80s were OK, some good music and rising standard of living - although that's not everything. The 90s onwards were a waste of time. Eveything's been done and the UK is well on it's way down. Where are we going now - who knows?
 
Rather boringly? I'd like to see the land were our house is built... What was there 50 years ago 150, 500 or a 1000 years. Then to go forward in time to see what will replace it.
Quite interesting methinks :)
 
Think I'd jot down the dates when lottery rollovers were not won, and go back to those days (with the numbers of course)
I would like to go back to the late 60's early 70's, just as long as I could take my keyboard with me. I'd be a musical superstar. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
Why would anybody want to go back in time when you could visit the future?
 
I'd go back ten years and buy all the gold from that muppet brown.
And I'd be flogging it right about now. :mrgreen:

I was only thinking a few days ago about some books i would get from the library in the mid 60's, i don't remember the authors name but they were about a detective in the 50's and the author would set the scene of his house, a 1930's semi, how the sodium lights would shine in through the gaps of the curtains of a night time, someone please put me out of my misery, who was the author? and who was the policeman??
