If you could go back in time...

[Mr Popkins]

id go back to November 5th 1955 and id try to get my parents together at the "Enchanment under the sea school dance", then get in my time machine car in time for the lightning to strike the Flux cappaciter,to send me BACK TO THE FUTURE!

I still reckon there was a flaw in the plan you know - three things needed to come together and I still can't believe they did.

1 - Lightning to strike at exactly 10:04
2 - Car to be connecting with the hook at exactly that moment.
3 - Car also to be going exactly 88mph at the point.

Oh well.

That is seriously flawed. You wouldn't need to go back to do it if you were here. If you did you would create an imbalance in the Space-Time Continuoum (sp)/

I'd go back to a week last Wednesday.
All the washing was done by 12, and we had a nice cuppa tea.
We won't see the likes of those days again.

You Red Dwarf freaky geek you

I used to love that show, here comes a thread....

Or, last Friday and I'd clean up at the bookies with the weekend results.

I'm pleased you spotted my Kryten quote as people may have just thought I was completely barking.

Why stop at last friday? Go back a few months and really clean up.

You could do sufficient damage with just one massive odds acca done at each bookie - as they limit your winnings on each bet.

EG, what sort of accumulator odds would you get on,

Plymouth 6-0
Brighton scorecast, Rehman 3-0
England to miss a pen (available at 25-1)
England 0-0
Scotland 1-0
Wales 3-2 defeat.

Draw together a £1000 stake and win to the max at as many bookies as you can.

Good point. I didn't know they limited your winnings though. Do you know what their limits are?

 

[Lush]

I'd got back to the Blackpool game and this time REFUSE to sing "Stevie Coppell's Blue and White army".

Then I'd go back to the day i was born and do it all again. My life has been and is brilliant.

 

[Gritt23]

I think the big guys stop at £500k, and some of the smaller places only go to £250k.

However, that is "per coupon" so I guess you could just place the bets a number of times on separate coupons.

Are you having a nervous breakdown?

I'd go back to the day in 1998 when I was walking up the stairs in the old club offices on Queens Road to see Edward David about tickets for an England match and saw Bellotti making his exit for the very last time, tiptoeing down the stairs with all his stuff. And instead of walking straight past I'd push him down the three flights of stairs I'd just walked up and then pretend I was taking a penalty and his head was the ball with which I could win the Champions League for the Albion. I'd then stand over his battered corpse to unveil a specially-prepared 'FREE THE COLDEAN ONE' t-shirt.

I'd go back to 1985. Probably spend a day with my dad before he died and try to pick up a few of the nuggets of advice i may have missed in the last 18 years. I'd take a proper mental snapshot of him so i could remember the way his face moved and even have an inkling of what his voice was like. I'd probably slap his face for the things we subsequently found he'd done and told him to have words with my siblings that may have helped them since.
Then, despite being 10, i'd have a right old booze-up.

I think Id save it until Im old . . . . .then go back to the day I met Tedebear so we could do it all again, life is sweet but short and I cant afford to waste anytime now!

Well said sir. You've just given me a cracking piece of advice.

 

[Tooting Gull]

1966 for me. I never tire of hearing from the old boys at work what that was like, being at that final and the before/after mood in the country. Expense accounts were bigger back then too...

 

[zefarelly]

I wouldnt mind a trip back to 1964, get a works Lotus drive and go racing with the Likes of Jim Clark and Graham Hill et all
