Idly web surfing last night, I came across an American Forum where someone had posted;
If you somehow came into possession of a Time Machine, what would you do?
Unsurprisingly quite a lot of posters said they'd go back and strangle Hitler at birth, slightly less, (as far as I read), wanted to do the same to Mohammed.
Some felt that way about Adam and Eve, some about Jesus Christ.
Some Southerners, still smarting about losing the Civil War I guess, wanted to go back to the third day at Gettysburg, and make Pickett's charge a success, smash the Yankees, then move on to Washington D.C. and shorten the war.
Anyone have any ideas of their own?
Personally I thought that I might go back to the fateful evening last century, when I walked into The Swan, (now closed), at Bricklayers Arms, SE London, got struck by un coup de foudre, and fell bang in love with a beautiful girl.
This time I'd do an about turn and head for The Pagoda, Tower Bridge Road, then maybe I'd still be married to my first wife, avoiding years of self inflicted anguish in trying to make it up to her and my sons.
The romance of the century came to nothing by the way, and after a few years in the wilderness, I had the good fortune to meet my second, and last, please God, wife.
