    You could kidnap him and bring him up as a ‘normal’ person then he wouldn’t have rose to power

    Yeah. They should have given him some bunny rabbits as a kid, given him a meccano set and got him doing a paper round to keep him busy

    Scoff, think about it,you wouldn't exist or your parents so you would not be here in your current guise.Just think about all those millions of British, American, Canadian,french etc of people that were murdered,and let's not forget those poor Jewish people.

    Mmm, that’s why normal was in inverted commas. The point was if he wasn’t brought up where he was but somewhere completely different he couldn’t have become what he did. As an alternative to just killing someone as a baby.

    Well just afterwards. From the safety of my time bubble. Did time start at the big bang?
    It's such an interesting concept.
    Heard it described as being at the north pole and asking which way is north.
    It may be just as impossible to ask what happened before the big bang as time itself may not have existed. Mind bending.

    You're on the right lines, the current theory is that everything, space, time energy and matter all began at an infinitely small point so if you were to be in it, I hope you're not claustrophobic...

    Football wise, the 66 WC final is the standard one. And the promotion game for Barnsley in 97, I was alive for the Barnsley promotion game but I was a few years old so wasn't there etc.

    Music wise, would have to be the Oasis gig at Knebworth in 96

    Maybe. We don't actually know that to be the case. Or maybe before the big bang (if such a thing exisits) there was something else.

    I suppose I'd like to go back as far as possible to see what could be discovered.
    I mean we are talking about time travel to the past which itself may not be possible at all.

    We probably would have to factor in that the baby boom generation are now starting to pass out the other end. 10 years ago most would still be around. As we're aware this demographic is the largest group and therefore will be affecting the mortality rate now..

    It isn't just me though. It would be millions of people that no longer exist. Wives who remarried after their husbands were killed, children sent to orphanages after their parents were bombed, an estimated 200,000+ babies born in East Germany to invading Russian soldiers who raped any female they could find. And that's just in Europe. Perhaps you should also add Hirohito to the list from Japan as they invaded China in 1937 to start WW2?

    The ripple effect would be well into the tens of millions - possibly hundreds. Perhaps more people are alive now because of the war than are not alive because of it?

    It would certainly have been better if Peter Sutcliffe had been born as a fish.

    Christ I forgot about him. Is that the lad from Donny who took the train to London then vanished?

    I'd love to go back and apply an extra inch to Gazza's studs in July of 96. That summer was absolutely the one.
