If you could go back in time...

[Pubey]

and witness an event occuring (like, be right in there in the action) then what would it be?

For me it's either being in Mission Control when Armstrong took his first step on the moon... or being in the Comparethemarket board meeting when some pill head pitched the idea of "Compare the Meerkat".

At the forming of Colchester United. I'd stand up and say......"Nahhhh."

they'd probably mistake you for a sheep and try to bum you

Watched the moon landing on live tv, one of the benefits of old age I guess.

Was going to suggest Hiroshima, but I have no idea to kiss my arse good bye.

the resurrection of christ and see for myself whether or not its all bollocks

 

[Aberdeen Shrimper]

The Birth of this fat ****ing bitch, so I could shove her back up her mums snatch box and bitch slap her for even considering the spawning of such a hideous vile ****.

The moment Clarkey put the ball in the Chelsea net. What a day.

Other than that, go back to the day before Jo Brand got married, and persuade her to marry Southminster Shrimper instead :)

Like Harry, I remember watching the moon landings on a grainy tv screen, and also being outside and looking up at the moon amazed that all this was going on up there. I'd have liked to experience the whole VE day thing in Britain at the end of WW2 - not as a member of the forces - the euphoria and excitement that the war was over, particularly to have been a child at that time. Or alternatively, to have been a part of the young King Henry VIII's entourage, at the time when he ascended the throne - the birth of a new golden age after years of austerity and frugality.

You'll have to ask Crickos son what it was like Kay ;)

To find a small Austrian street painter (in about 1913 i think )and say , actually Adolf those paintings arnt bad , forgot those silly political ideas you have , get him smashed on abshinte and send him to Paris for 10 years to join the bohemian set .

Its very personal, but I would go back to the day in 1956 when the Olympic selectors were picking the Cycling track team and get them to wait for a day.

Then they would have seen the bloke they selected get convincingly beaten by his rival for the spot and my Dad would have got to go.

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

I'd like to have been behind the picket fence on the grassy knoll in 1963, to see who was really there. I'd also like to have been outside Mary Kelly's house to see who came out after chopping her face off in 1888. Obviously, I'd like to be somewhere reasonably safe in both instances so I didn't get the side of my head blown off or my intestines thrown over my shoulder.

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

Controversial but I would have kidnapped Lance Armstrong's oncologist...

Wembley 1966 would have been a laugh

I am not sure that absinthe would make the heart grow fonder.

Failing that a better application of mustard gas in the trenches.
