If you could go back in time

with the ability to change one historic moment from the past, what would it be?

I would have shouted at JFK to duck before them infamous shots were fired. He probably wouldn't have heard me but still, it would be worth a go.

Pulled out

demanufactured · 11-08-2011 11:10AM

I would choose a differnet career path......might still have a job

mackg · 11-08-2011 11:11AM

When ireland got into the quarter finals in Italia 90 to go on a mad one.

talla10 · 11-08-2011 11:12AM

I'd have rang Brian Cowen in 2008 and told him to tell Anglo and the rest of the banks to go f**k themselves!!

Biggins · 11-08-2011 11:13AM

Warn the Captain of the Titanic that he was off course and a ruddy lump of ice was about to sink him.

That way I wouldn't have had to suffer through a god-awful soppy film and "My heart will go on" for months in the charts!

pull out.....of the deal to buy my house which happened right at the top of the property boom. But until the time machine is ready, i'll just suck it up like so many others

solerina · 11-08-2011 11:15AM

the obvious one...I would pick the numbers that won the 179 million euro lotto a few weeks ago

Standard Toaster · 11-08-2011 11:15AM

I would go back and save yer man Jesus from them Jew folk

Bertie Ahern said a while back that nobody told him about the state the banks were in, so Id probably go back and warn him about the impending doom. Im sure we'd all be on the pigs back then......

You say that now but go back to that moment, not a chance you'd pull out!

for nearly the same reason i'd go back to whenever cher was on that boat for a music video and blow it up.

no believe in the charts for what seemed longer than should be possible

Live4Ever · 11-08-2011 11:24AM

Stop The Beatles from breaking up.

Why Cher? Take out Celine instead.

I'd court Mrs Hitler, bring her back to Ireland and name our son Benjy,

jester77 · 11-08-2011 11:30AM

Tell that Jesus lad to stfu, as his ramblings would be the cause of so much conflict over the coming 1000s of years

howamidifferent · 11-08-2011 11:33AM

I'd have ****ed off on holiday on my tod on the morning of my first wedding...

at least you could crack one out to Celine in times of need... but cher?

candy-gal1 · 11-08-2011 11:37AM

Wouldnt have tried to keep up two jobs (one i hated and one i loved) and college all at the same time, and just stayed with the one i loved and college, may have still had it right now :rolleyes:

Not believed a word that came out of so-called "friends" mouths, ever and therefore not looked a fool really.

Tried to get a job years ago, like when i was about 18.

If she could turn back time, if she could find a way, she'd take back those words that hurt you.

The King of Moo · 11-08-2011 11:53AM

I'd tell my younger self that if an adult told me something that sounded wrong, it probably was wrong and that I probably knew better than them in that case.

OR

Save Archduke Franz Ferdinand and stop the other little things that led to World War I. Hopefully that would stop both World Wars.

OR

Go to the place where Jesus was buried, or people believed he was buried, shortly after he died and scrawl onto a rock my mobile number, the date 12/12/2012 and a crude representation of my face with an arrow pointing to them and "second coming" written below.

What's your definition of "historic"?

I'd have accepted that particular lass's invitation back up to hers for coffee.

I was thinking the moon landing, Watergate scandal or that guy shouting down Pat Kenny etc but whatever floats your boat!

Why did you decline in the first place? instant was it?

Caraville · 11-08-2011 12:08PM

I don't think people are understanding the "historic" part in the OP...

I'd go back and make sure gunfire and explosives were never invented. Of course there'd probably be some alternative invented instead so it'd be kinda pointless...

(And someone here will probably point out positive uses of these things

)
