If you had a time machine, where would you go and what would you do?

I’d go back to the 21/12/1968 and call an ambulance, warn them of what lay ahead and hope and pray they could save my mums life before real tragedy struck, failing that, I’d hope that divine intervention would take mine instead and spare her and ultimately my dad the suffering and pain that followed.

Go back to Ayresome in 1937, stand with me grandad and watch Camsell, Hardwick and Mannion.

Dear me, such impatience, If you could have hung on just 2 years you could have gone back and sorted Hitler out, avoided the 2nd World War and the Boro would have won the 1st Division title. Simples.😊

oh mate, I'm sorry to read that
 
I’d go back to around 1860 to see the American Old West, maybe track down Buffalo Bill, Jesse James or Billy the Kid and live to tell the tale.
 
You'd have to kill baby Hitler wouldn't you.

After that (and not as serious) but I think David Cameron with the brexit vote completely screwed the country for decades and turned it into a really divided place. I'd tell him not to have a referendum.

From a personal point of view I'd love to relive my wedding day, everyone says your kids being born is the best day of your life but that seeing children being born is so surreal I still can't get my head around it 😂

From a Boro perspective I'd love to go back to Ayresome park, I think something like the Newcastle game where we beat them 4-1 to stay up would be great to relive. Stood on the terraces as a kid, proper atmosphere and walking home on a nice sunny day.
 
For the pint with my Dad in the Albert before the Leicester game in 1988. Hopefully this time we then get the point we need to go up.
 
If there was any possibility of interacting and changing things then I wouldn't want to. The tiniest change can have immeasurable implications so something major like killing baby Hitler would mean none of us would even be here and that's too big of a risk.

If it's just to relive and re-experience then then obvious choices are wedding, birth of children but on a slightly longer scale just reliving my time at uni would be up there. It was a couple of years of (mostly) just having fun. I know some people are stressed at uni with workload etc but I never was. I did enough to get a decent degree and just spent a few years partying without the responsibilities that followed once the career started.

I'd love to go forwards in time, see how my kids turn out, see how the world looks. You'd expect progress but anyone answering this question 30 years ago would be shocked to see the state of things today. Technology has leaped ahead but we're still not getting the basics right.
