15th June 1938 ..... for that's when one of the greatest minds on earth was born .... and, without doubt, the greatest mind on ScoobyNet.

Edited for correctness

Me - Probably the day of the first moon landing, wasn't born then but think it would have been cool to see it live Remember the excitement about the first shuttle launch when we were at school.

Good question!!!



I'd go back to one of my old DJ sets at the Eclipse club in Coventry March 1992.


Fantastic memories of an awesome club that I'd like to take my missus to!



Other than that I'd like to go back a meet my grandparents as unfortunately I never got the chance.

I'd go back about 9-odd months before that date and send your Dad a pack of Johnnies!

I'd like to go back to the day I had my last day of work (as a student). I was off on holiday the next day, and had just been given my pay cheque.

I was 17 and it was so refreshing to know I was off on holiday knowing i'd been working my butt off for weeks.
Looking back now, it seems such a tiny amount of cash, but I had no limits, or responsibilities.
The world was my oyster.

That was a good day.

I would have avoided walking the dog in the park at night in Alderley Edge around May 1988 when a terrible man pounced on me

Good of you to mention me Pete, but you got the day, month, and year wrong.

For me it was the day I went solo for the first time. It was in a Chipmunk.

The take-off and climbing turn onto the downwind leg were a bit busy, but when I settled on the downwind leg to do the pre-landing checks it suddenly hit me that I was alone!

It is one of those moments you never forget.

By saving millions of innocent lives you could infact seal the fate of billions of innocent lives. I'd just kick him in the nuts.

Just a few for this 1.

Hitting the fire alarm in the twin towers around 8:15 on 11/9.

That fatefull day in Aug 2005 when I got involved with the ex and tell myslef not to.

The day I gave up being a semi pro photographer and tell myself to keep going.

15th Dec 2006, my first IT contract and tell myself not to pee £1000 a month up the wall and bank it instead.

Last day of college 1997: I would sell the Escort before it blew its second gearbox, and asked out Helen (the one that got away) on our last walk to the car park (awww), No seriously, I just wanted to bang her senseless She's probably a saggy boobed heffer with five kids by now.

Oh yes, and not drink so much Jack Daniels and Tequila two nights beforehand (seperate glasses, before you thinks its some sort of poncy cocktail). My right eye has never been the same since.

And finally, tear up my UCAS form and not bother going to Brum uni.

There is probably something a thousand times more important than the above, but at the moment thats all I can think of. Oh, apart from setting fire to my ex-boss's car (preferably with his colleague bound and gagged in the boot).

November 2000, when I sold my 2 bed terrace in the middle of Macclesfield for just shy of £30k

If I'd only hung on to it for another 12 months, I could have sold it for £70k+
