Master Bates Posted 7 October, 2008 Share Posted 7 October, 2008 they could live in earlier times, like the 60's, 70's, 80's, or 90's? I would give up my computer and cell phones just to live in one of those times, most probably the late 60's early 70's for the weed factor \\:D/ Wouldn't mind going further back in time and experiencing a Victorian Christmas.

foghorn Posted 7 October, 2008 Share Posted 7 October, 2008 I've lived in all of those except the 60's which sounded like fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridge too far Posted 7 October, 2008 Share Posted 7 October, 2008 I'd go back to the 60s like a shot. I'd also like to be in the 20s or the 40s because of the fashions. Going back to Victorian times would be fun, provided I had lots of money. But being working class in Victorian times would have been miserable.

Crouchie's Lawyer Posted 7 October, 2008 Share Posted 7 October, 2008 Throwing sh*t out the window on the peasants below, yeah I could cope with that! I would move back to the 60's as MB says, it had its perks. However, dont think the 70's, would have been much fun over and above what I have now, and I grew up in the 80's and 90's anyway. The one thing I would say is that im a bit of a lazy sod, so going back in time, where there would be no temptation of xbox, PS, Wii, Laptop's, DVD's etc etc etc would mean I would be a hell of a lot more active and therefor in better shape! I'd probably be a bit more handy round the house too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toofarnorth Posted 7 October, 2008 Share Posted 7 October, 2008 We dont realise how good we have it. Wouldn't want to live anytime in the past, but would have a crack at the future. 200 years or so. Bet it would be amazing and obviously there is the excitement of going into the unknown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian H. Cope Posted 7 October, 2008 Share Posted 7 October, 2008 (edited) I would like to go back to the 70's so I could rountinely beat my wife without the Police getting involved.

St Landrew Posted 7 October, 2008 Share Posted 7 October, 2008 Don't need to go back. I experienced the 60's, 70's and 80's. They all had their good points and bad. Just different ones. It's all about personal fulfillment and getting along with others, in the end, and you can do that just as well now as then. All you have to do is make of point of trying. Must admit, I'd give wartime Southampton a go though, just to see how people coped, and how they pulled together, rather than thought just for themselves. We could all do with some of that spirit at times. Btw MB, today you panicked yourself into a reasonable thread subject, almost worthy of the Lounge.

equalizer Posted 7 October, 2008 Share Posted 7 October, 2008 I'd go to the 50's. With the country still recovering from the war, there will be shed loads of proper man jobs available, none of this working in an office crap! Great football in stadiums packed to the rafters. And although I probably wouldn't like the music much, the UK still had a film industry to rival hollywood. No health and safety cobblers, you can discipline your kids without feeling guilty, and you could travel almost anywhere by train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 7 October, 2008 Share Posted 7 October, 2008 I'd like to live in the 1930s; the Depression was over, War was a long way off and there were no mobile phones, computers, terrorists or Chavs. People worked hard, they had to as there was no welfare state; oh, and there was no National Health Service. Plus it was sunny every day and everyone spent all their summers down at the lake having picnics with lashings of Ginger Beer. And Rickets.

Arizona Posted 7 October, 2008 Share Posted 7 October, 2008 I'd like to go back to the days where they wore corsets & their boobies were pushed right up !! haha The Rockie Horror Show - 1973 according to wiki. I think if I were to go back it would have to be far enough to be significantly different. I don't do drugs, so the 60's and 70's would just be lost on me. It'd be nothing but inferior technology and incredibly bad fasion sense. I think it would have to be somebody wealthy, circa 1500's - Henry VIII's time. If you got bored with a woman you could just accuse her of witchcraft and lop her head off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint1977 Posted 8 October, 2008 Share Posted 8 October, 2008 1970s - so that I could be at Wembley in 1976 (I was born the year after) plus the music was great. I'd also probably go for a meal at the revolving restaurant at the top of the Post Office Tower before the IRA started blowing chunks out of it. The downsides would however be: - 3 day week - Flared trousers - Only being able to drink keg beer in pubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I understand the Ian Hunter connection (All the young dudes) and Bowie, inasmuch as he was involved with them, that is surely a tenuous link. Wasn't Bowie known as The Thin White Duke?

OldNick Posted 8 October, 2008 Share Posted 8 October, 2008 My wife was born then too, the 24th. Are you as decrepit as she is Nick?14november 1959. All cards will be appreciated when the time comes. It is Prince Charles birthday that day as well but he is a lot older of course...he tells his friends that his falls on my birthday As for decrepid, I dont think so but I have quite a few on the main board who think I am, but they have no judgement whatsoever and so why should I care. You youngsters on here I feel a lot happier with, in my Hipsters and Jimmy Shoo shoes listening to my i-pod and listening to T-Pane and Lil Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 8 October, 2008 Share Posted 8 October, 2008 I always wished, and still do really, that I had been born about 13 years earlier, in 1967. Then I could have enjoyed the 80's properly, and I would only be 40 now, and a distinguished gentleman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
