I used to want to be the girl in Flashdance or dance in Fame. I guess that was the 80's for me and what about all of you mn's?.
I just put the song onto FD and had a little dance, my dd laughed but joined in,I will relive my lost youth but will probably ache tomorrow.Grin.

hmm, interesting question.... could I go back to 1348 with a shedload of antibiotics please? Always get upset when I think about the Black Death.

purpleduck · 25/08/2010 17:37

Hmm, not sure I'd want to go back to anytime before washing machines were invented. Unless I was a man rich Wink

I would go back to 1993 and say what was on my mind.

GetOrfMoiLand · 25/08/2010 17:39

I would like to go back to the 1930s. Only if I could be a debutante though, not skint working in a cotton mill.

Or the 1770s. For the frocks and the hair.

lazarusb · 25/08/2010 17:43

I would go back to 1989 and split with ds1s dad while pregnant but before I knew, thereby saving myself years of Hell (he would have run away very fast). Or..
1995 so I could meet and fall in love with dh again (and get him into bed quicker!) Wink

LouMacca · 25/08/2010 18:36

I was actually thinking about this the other day.

Sorry, don't want to put the thread on a downer but I would go back to 5 minutes before Jamie Bulger was taken and stop it happening.

I'd go to winter 1962/63 snowed for months and we had a great time out every night playing always going home for dry mitts and back out again.The village had a good spirit,going messages for older folk and clearing paths etc,happy days.

MOSP · 25/08/2010 19:13

I'd go to pre-war Yorkshire, and be married to James Herriot

Why is this in AIBU?

smokinaces · 25/08/2010 19:20

1941 or nearby. Always been fascinated by the war, would love to go back in time and live through the Blitz and war spirit and experience it all myself

I'd get myself back to 1935 to assassinate Stalin before the great purge.

deemented · 25/08/2010 19:32

I'd go back to 4am on Thursday September 9th, 2004, and hold my firstborn son again, if only for a few minutes.

MintyBadger · 25/08/2010 19:35

To the Stone Age, just to work out wtf was going on with them. But with a damn good goosedown duvet and hot water bottle.

littlepurpleflowers · 25/08/2010 20:23

ahh deemented that is lovely

Snobear4000 · 25/08/2010 21:09

I'd go back to whenever it was that daftpunk was conceived and I'd tell her dad to settle for a blowjob instead.

curlymama · 25/08/2010 21:15

I'd go back to this time last year and have another hen night and wedding.

MickyLee · 25/08/2010 21:19

I would go back to when I was with a rich guy who loved taking me to fancy resturants... I was a veggie at the time, i missed out on some very good meals!!! Hmm

Helena1964 · 25/08/2010 21:29

I'd go back to 73 BC, and join Spartacus' army. I'd bring modern-day weaponry with me, so that we could beat the hell out of the evil Romans. Since it's my fantasy, I've decided that the real-life gladiators I would enounter would be as luscious as the actors playing them in "Spartacus: Blood and Sand". :o

hormonesnomore · 25/08/2010 21:31

I'd go back to when I was a little girl and still had a mummy & daddy and I'd give them both a hug and tell them how much I love them. Sad

maktaitai · 25/08/2010 21:40

Wd feel too scared to intervene in history but I would like to go back and hide behind the arras in the Tower of London and find out what happened to the Princes in the Tower.

Would probably need a pomander or something though because God it would stink.

Sassybeast · 25/08/2010 21:43

To a time when I could see Elvis live in concert!

Mowiol · 25/08/2010 21:45

I'v always wondered if Richard III really did murder the Princes In the Tower - so I'd like to go back and find out one way or the other (and collect evidence of course to write a best seller).
I had and still have a real passion for historical novels!! Blush
