    Time is relative so if I had it for one hour technically I could have it for as long as I wanted.

    Yeah, because Ireland is a 3rd World Country as 26 counties.

    if only we had 6 more... that'd solve everything!

    The creation of the universe, be fairly cool to see it happen

    That's an interesting one.

    So, if the time machine has to reappear when you want it, and in order to see the Universe be created...... where do you think the Time Machine would rematerialise since there's no universe yet? :confused:

    What makes no sense is having an island this size partitioned. But lets not get inot that debate.


    How is Ireland a 3rd world country? Thats bullsh!t. I suggest you go volunteer in ethiopia and get some perspective.

    I'd go back to 69 and convince myself not to gut Sharon Tate....I still feel bad that that poor feeb Manson is rotting in jail with his madness.......piggies.....piggies.......all the piggies......that sh*t was all me.

    I'd travel back to a time when early man used to hunt the great t-rex with spears. The moment when fire & gunpowder was invented by ancient gallic druids or when the first wheel was discovered approximately 500AD.

    Possibly go back to the 1930's when sherlock holmes & his trusty sidekick watson finally caught the infamous yorkshire ripper.

    So many important moments of history.

    Your post made sense up until right here.........









    it was Poirot who caught the Yorkshire Ripper!

    Oh bugger your right.:rolleyes:

    Sherlock holmes & watson were the ones that eventually tracked down the german aircraft carrier the Bismark as it passed through the suez canal into the black sea.

    Correct yes?

    I dunno. Of all the people I could go back in time and watch fuck, my parents would be bottom of the list. Your parents, on the other hand...

    I would go back to my first date with my ex-husband and start as I should have gone on. Things could have been so different for us if I had wiped the lurve from my eyes and grown a backbone. :(

    You let him give you a facial on the first date :eek:

    PM on the way :D:p

    I'd go back to the garden of Eden from biblical times (apocryphal I know) and kick Adam square in the balls before he got chance to start populating this planet with these horrible hateful, selfish, pointless people I see walking around every day (myself included). Leave the planet to the dolphins.

    Now back on topic, I'd love to go back to the summer of 1990 but be old enough to drink and have the World Cup all over again!

    I'm going back to December 1960 and to cockblock my da just to see if I can create a temporal paradox and cause the...

    Godwinned in only 6 posts and the post speaks of circumstances which, if they occurred, would remove the existence of Godwins law altogether.

    I'd slingshot my time machine/klingon warbird around the sun, go back to 1986, get a humpback whale, go back to my own timeline and save the earth.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,351 ✭✭✭✭starlit


    I'd like to be a baby again, grow up and live my life differently. If I knew what was going to happen in the years ahead I would have changed a lot of things. Preminitions are useless.

    How come nobody has picked up on the fact that the fact it's a time machine, having it for "one hour" makes no sense?

    :confused:
