If you could go back in time to anywhere or anytime of your choosing where would you go and what would you do?
Perhaps you would like to see what life was like for certain people centuries ago or maybe you would go back to a particular year for a festival or concert.

I would like to go back to Egyptian times, we see so much about how the rich and royalty lived and died in those times, it would be interesting to see what life was like for the 'normal' people day to day, what did they eat, what their work was and what schooling, if any, was like for the children. Fascinating.

Perhaps you would like to see what life was like for certain people centuries ago or maybe you would go back to a particular year for a festival or concert. Interesting... any place... any time... Now, since I'm a history buff I am well aware that living in most places and times in the past was a lot rougher and tougher than lounging around this life in Canada... that being said... I can't think of anything right now... Just how long do we have to be there? To spend our whole life there or just a few days or what? I don't think there's any place or time where I'd like to spend the rest of my life...

You can spend as much time there as you like, Ginnie, just stay for a concert or turn up to watch an historic event......its up to you. I quite fancy journeying back to medieval times, but would probably be a pauper and dead of sores in a few days!! ;D ;D

Fascinating. I don't think the normal people had a very happy life, how are your pyramid building skills? I would go back to Germany in the early 1930's and give that Charlie Chaplin impersonator a good slap.

Better to go forward. We've got rid of a lot of the nasty diseases that have plagued the human race in the past and made it possible for humans to live much longer. The only thing is our brains start to malfunction before our bodies wear out so we end up with alzheimers or senile dementia. Might have been nice on this forum though for the first suggestion to be the era when SAHB were at their peak. When Alex walked on stage with a smoking jacket and a big bunch of roses and a little guy in a clown suit was playing Jethro Tull's love story.....

Nice thought, I remember the tour when SAHB started with love story, & Alex would eat some of the roses & throw the remainder to the audience, in fact , my mother kept hers for ages, probably the nicest thing she ever did. I'm sure the rose was meant for my sister though, it was at this gig that Alex started proceedings by announcing that the IRA had planted a bomb in the building and could we all check under our seats! The screams turned to nervous laughter when he said it was " just a wee joke to break the ice" However, Alex doing framed as Charlie Chaplin, there's a thought! Zal could be Buster Keaton, Hugh Harold Lloyd, Ted could reprise his role in Gamblin' Bar Room Blues and be a Keystone cop,& that leaves Chris to be Fatty Arbuckle, oh dear, I hope Chris doesn't read this.(or Catherine for that matter). Anyhow Penny, do you think your motability scooter could pull a Sphinx across the desert?

Your right Mehrsfan, I should have said that going back to the first SAHB gig would have been the best thing to do. Will give myself a slap and send myself to bed early, I was trying to be too clever. And my scooter is rubbish, Sahbotage, it can't handle a few blades of grass never mind sand. ;D

To go back in SAHB time to the gigs at the Apollo, then I could further bore the arses off with you with my reminisinces thereof - sadly (or, luckily, for you)I have no idea when they were, or how many I went to.
I remember Anthem; I remember Cheek to Cheek - those impossibly tall ladies with the bums in the Green Room after the show - and I think I remember Gamblin' Bar Room Blues.
I'd go back to the Who Put the Boot In gig at Parkhead - and pay attention and make a point of getting backstage this time instead of selling hotdogs!!
I'd go back to The Glasgow College of Technology Easter Ball, when I was about 17, I think, and be up at the front, instead of dancing at the back - was the band Tear Gas, playing their last gig before becoming SAHB and moving south? I know Ted threw the banana back at the stripper.........but was the band The Sensational Alex Harvey Band? I can't remember
If I could really turn back time, I'd bring loved ones back - I wasn't finished with them, never would have been.

Okay, gave it some thought...I would like to be beside Jesus as he's walking through the desert so I could have a few hours to chat with him.
or
be in the studio audience when the Beatles first performed on the Ed Sullivan show in Feb. of 1964
or
or spend a few hours in a pub with Richard Harris, Peter O'Toole and Richard Burton in 1960
or
be in New York outside the Dakota apartment building in December 1980 and intercept Mark David Chapman before he shoots John Lennon

The court of Henry VIII..............a lady of some social standing, so's to have the gowns and pearls - but staying on the safe side of himself. This is, of course, based on the ridiculously sanitized portrayals we see on the silver screen!

if i could go back in time, i would love to go back to the mid to late 60s, and be down the west coast of Scotland, Saltcoats and Ardrossan, with my 5 brothers and sister and Mum and Dad on a Sunday day out. We'd be playing football, rounders on the sand and swimming in the freezing cold sea. After that, we'd go to the stand that sold hot water to make our tea, whilst Mum and Dad got the sandwiches out from the boot of the works van that my Dad used to take us there. Then it's back to the beach. On the way home Mum and Dad would pop into a local pub and us kids would go to the nearest chippie to stuff our faces in the best greasy chips ever. An hour or so later we'd all be crammed into the van, pleasantly stuffed and tired and looking forward to our bed,,,, Happy Days

I've thought about this and I wouldn't go anywhere if my family couldn't come also-wouldn't want to be anywhere where they didn't exist- that being said one time I'd like to go to is when everyone in my life was alive-parents, grandparents extended family and friends. I'd love for my daughter to experience that-my family was quite large; & my wife also because she was orphaned and never experienced anything like that

If you want to go back in time, tune in to BBC4 tonight at 11.25pm, they are showing a complete Top of The Pops from June 1976 which features our SAHB doing Boston Tea Party, i'm sure you have seen this clip many times but it interesting to see it in context of what else was in the charts at the time, anyone admit to buying the Wurzels records?. many years ago I used to help out at my brother in laws mobile disco, "The Brutus Roadshow" we did a young farmers club dance in support of the Wurzels, what a bunch of cnuts, they behaved as though they were Led Zeppelin or something with demands for this and that, still we managed to cut the power half way through their set, (by accident of course, we would't be so childish!)

No it was somewhere local to Church Stretton,that's as far as my memory goes, however, we did a show at Knighton with Showaddywaddy on the bill, another bunch of demanding pricks, I didn't like them before we met, and my opinion wasn't changed by the encounter, why do these people think that even small amounts of "fame" gives them the right to behave in that way? and yet I have met far more famous people and they are lovely, (Eric Clapton for one, great guy, and he was off his face at the time).

I'm sure Peter would have mentioned seeing Showaddywaddy in Knighton if he had been there, will ask him though. Sounds like you've met a 'delightful' bunch of people in your time helping you brother in law. I know Peter saw Baycity Rollers on their way up to the top of the tree of fame when they played a barn dance in Letton!! He thought they were a bunch or arseholes!!
