I’d be Beyoncé headlining Glastonbury. I’d love to see what it feels like to have that talent, confidence and power on stage. Must be amazing!

Anyone else? Just wanting to lighten the mood Grin

I'd like to be Sebastian Coe when he was racing breaking his third world record in a matter of weeks. I seem to remember him having a commanding lead and still kicking on the home straight and going even faster. Must have felt fantastic!

Twerking9to5 · 21/12/2020 21:30

@BalloonSlayer good one! I think a top athlete would be a brilliant thing to experience.

Queen Elizabeth 1 making her speech to the troops at tilbury. And afterwards. That whole day. Really want to be a witness but wouldn’t be too shabby to actually be her.

An Olympic gold winner in something like athletics

I am here for Boudicca and Edmund Hillary. Both brilliant.

Also maybe Audrey Hepburn.

Someone with a gorgeous private swimming pool and really nice food and drink.

I want to be Mirka Federer on the day of her wedding to Roger Federer! ☺️
I know it’s ridiculously teenage and fan girl, but I can’t deny my adoration for him.

Jesus just one of the days when he was gadding about being hassled about wine. Just to see what was going on in his head

Someone young, at Woodstock in 1969. I would so have loved to be there, watching Jimi, Janis, Jefferson Airplane......

Freddie Mercury at the height of his fame...at his best concert ever.
He was the most amazing performer..ever

@36degrees

I'd like to be Nicole Kidman in her leaving the divorce lawyer's office photo. The pure joy on her face! It makes me happy every time I see it.
But she must have gone through hell to feel joy like that.

me on the day my little boy first smiled at me.

@HollowTalk but the beauty of this game is you get to choose just a specific moment, so you could just drop in and enjoy the pure joy without any of the crap beforehand 😁

Freddie Mercury, LiveAid.

Elizabeth Bennet as she became Mrs Darcy (assuming he really looked like Colin Firth)?

Alexander Fleming on discovering penicillin.

A bit dark - but I would like to be Osama bin Laden on the day of 9/11 as I want to try to understand how murdering so many innocent people feels like a victory. I totally get how awful American (and British and french) policy has been for so many parts of the Middle East/Central Asia but I still don’t get how you could feel anything but utter horror and revulsion at what happened on 9/11.

I think understanding that mentality may help us to prevent it happening again.

hiptobeasquare · 22/12/2020 18:10

Catherine of Aragon when she gave her speech to Henry at Black Friars, just to see his reaction. He was being a spoilt child and she was epic.

Twerking9to5 · 22/12/2020 20:06

@hiptobeasquare ooh I’m not familiar with that speech-I’ll have to look it up!

Darcy Bussell being a principle ballerina, preferably swan lake, I’d love to be able to dance like that.
