Back to The Future.

Right then, you are sitting in the De Lorean, winding it up to the required 88mph, which year do you dial in and why?

[TheEnd]

1985, so i can turn up an the film premier and really screw with everyone.

[shalmaneser]

Good question.

Probably Ancient Rome...about 0BC, would be a fairly interesting place!

Not forgetting 5-10 years into the future to see what price banking shares are, then popping back to now and buying a few million penny shares.

I'd go simply go forward a month, get all the lottery numbers, head back and live the high life.

Edited to add:

Oh yeah and I would go back to last August and assassinate our idiot prime minister while I had the perfect aliby of being abroad.

Go forward to see next weeks euromillions numbers, then go see what the world is like in about 500 years and decide what time point in history I want to actually live in.

1968 to spend some time with my Grandfather before he became ill, and get him to re-write his will so it wasn't invalid!

Then I'd leave my Dad a message to buy Microsoft shares, not sell his flat, and to buy his Dad's house

I wouldn't need to do anything else

[Lord Pikey]

I would check to see if that numbnuts Doc brown had put the plutonium in the car first.

Then, i think id go and get myself a copy of Greys Sports Almanac 2000-2050 and live the high life

[NiceCupOfTea]

Go back to 1990 and see my car when it was brand new

Its all very well thinking you can cash in, but any change you make will modify any future events. So you have to be careful otherwise the future you think you are planning for doesnt happen.

The last year before the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs struck.

And you accidently step on a butterfly or something. No future that you recognise to go back to.

[Eric Mc]

Maybe butterfies hadn't evolved yet?

The butterfly paradox applies to any backwards time-travel - although the ramifications for future events of even the slightest alteration gets more and more serious the further back you go..

Wednesday afternoon then I'd make sure the toad-in-the-hole I cooked that evening had better batter.

12th July 1987, Silverstone, for the GP.

Just to watch Mansell suck it to Piquet for real, instead of on video...
