Future.
I want to see where it's going. I remember when we didn't have mobile phones - I want to see aliens

Re: If you could live at any point in history, when would you choose?
Bit like Lord Farquar's thread on where would you live.....I find it hard to anwer that one, probably cos the last time I choose WHERE to live I got it wrong
However, I've always wanted to be able to choose WHEN to live - quite fancy medieval days in England or France, around the time of Chaucer maybe, with all the chivalry and knights in shining armour and all that stuff. The era of the Wars of the Roses, with jousting knights and all that kind of romantic stuff! And if I could live in a castle that'd be even better
Quite fancy myself in one of those pointy hats with long veils trailing behind it (I think its called a henin, but if I'm wrong, please tell me!!) with a couple of knights fighting for my favours
Well everyone has to dream, don't they!!

Woodstock on a groundhog day would do and just miss out before and after.

The History Channel is full of repeats. So 20 years ago you would get to watch the repeat for the first time. 
I thought it was an obvious joke.
And another quote, "explaining a joke is like dissecting a Frog. Nobody is that interested, and you've killed it anyway".

Re: If you could live at any point in history, when would you choose?
It would be good to do a bit of a "Bill & Ted" journey. Go back in time to just after they stick the nails in big JC's hands & feet grab him, then shoot forward to A.D 630ish & grab Mohamed. Bring them both back to the 21st century & say look you pair of twats do you see how many people have died in your names? Your not the messiahs your very naughty boys!

Any point in time, just like to live in reverse. Sick of finally understanding something in life and then realising I'm 10 years too late for it to be any use
