Well, if I could go back, retaining my awareness of mistakes - perhaps more than an insignificant few... - I see myself having made, I can't imagine not wanting to do those things differently and becoming a better self, for myself and for some others in my life.

balo Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I am originally from year 2280, I worked as an assistant in a lab and was involved in an experiment , the professor sent me back to 2005 and I was supposed to get back 1 month later. Something went wrong and I have been stuck here since. I do miss the future , but the coffee is great here, we don't have that in my time zone. .

tryasimight Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Most of the posters on TVF, were they transported back in time to 20 years old, would be struggling whether to sign up or not for the fight against the Hun, or, for the younger members, to fight against the North Koreans.

Classic English, close to "Queen's - English" in combination with the ability to merge Classic-English with American-English" , the world is your oyster. Good salary assured. To live in Switzerland is expensive? Yes, as a Tourist. But for a resident (knowing his way around), the ratio between salary/ cost of living is still very attractive. Cheers. A bit chilly for me, thanks. Maybe if you can make it warm up a bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you do the UK lottery? If not you should start with a big roll-over week. There are a couple of things I could change that wouldn't really make a difference other than stopping me being cheated by tenants, lawyers and estate agents, and more lawyers, that would just leave me quite a bit wealthier.

Khon Kaen Dave Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Investments, stocks, buy low, sell high and all that shit. It would be a lot easier just to keep a list of all the Lottery and super lottery numbers, and play them for a year.Whta could be easier. You could be having a great time while just waiting for the Lottery days. Bugger all that working crap.You wouldnt even have to be in the UK. You could be in ant other tropical country and still be a winner. Of course the bank trans fers would have to be worked out, and you would have to go and collect the cheques your self, but what a terrible thing.

It should be a given that travelling back in time would erase all memory of lotto numbers etc. We'd all like to win the Euro lottery in our teens, but it would change our life in fundamental ways so we wouldn't have the same life experience, and in every respect it would be a completely different life, that we might then have to go back to fix again. For that reason no one should be able to assassinate Hitler in 1930 etc. For myself, I'd like the same life path, but not make all the stupid mistakes that I regret.

bbi1 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Mind explaining to all of us what in the hell in is "time maschine"??? I wouldn't mind travelling in a Back to the Future type of time machine, that'd be cool. I could even let you go back in time and edit this thread to say "time machine" instead of "time maschine", just in case that's what you meant.

madusa Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 In fact you had done all that you had wished you could do in the parallel universe. So you don't have to get into this machine that looks like a huge washing machine to bring you back or go forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who needs a Time-Machine when one can life in "Parallel-Universes" already. All we have to do is board an airplane in our home-country and end up in Pattaya. Upon arriving in Pattaya, one immediately realises that he has entered a "parallel-universe". Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not a parallel universe but like a Star Trek episode; a planet in a distant universe that has evolved in a similar way but taken a different path. Amazing!

If you went on the computer and noted down all the winning numbers, why couldn't you simply write out the same numbers on their respective dates.
