Ron Aldo Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I was born in '91 but I'd like to have been old enough to really appreciate the 90s. You only ever hear people say good things about the 90s (except Celtic fans) and it sounds like it was just a decade long night oot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 1870s/80s era frontier America as first choice. Also would love to have been in my teens in the late 70s/early 80s to see the great rock and metal bands In their prime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I was born in 81 so maybe about five years earlier so I'd be a good age for the rise of Britpop, the first TITP and Oasis at Knebworth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I was going to slag that but thinking about it Rage Against The Machine, Bjork and Cyrpess Hill in the Strathy Park is a high point in human history. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillonearth Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 There's loads of times and places I'd like to visit for a few days - I'd imagine living the rest of your life there would get old pretty quickly though after living in the 21st century though...off the top of my head: Weimar Berlin Victorian London Paris in the couple of decades after WW2 I'd also like to see what the likes of Glasgow and Edinburgh looked (and probably smelled) like as they evolved ...spend a day in each maybe once a century since they were founded and watch them grow from what we'd probably call villages these days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank died this week aged 86. The Camel snouts obviously worked wonders. His baseball legacy is that he's left lots of tips for the younger generations of players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Living in the times when you could still smoke indoors would improve my life exponentially, especially in a Covid free winter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 7 hours ago, J_Stewart said: Being part of the Roman gentry during the rise of Julius Caesar and then through the reigns of Augustus and Tiberius would have been fucking magnificent, IMO. Living through the days of Nero probably would have been the most interesting / debauched as long as you’d kept on the right side of the mad fucker. Oh aye because the gentry were totally safe during Caesar and Augustus' time, what with two of the most bloody civil wars in the ancient world and the proscription lists. And Tiberius was worse than Epstein. Still, all this talk of seeing bands from the 60s/70s will hopefully lure that loser @JayCrawford away from clogging up the Music forum with his weekly, bottle of Grants' fuelled fail. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before running water in houses personal hygiene must have been horrific. 99% of people would be humming. But, because everyone was smelly, nobody was. Same principle as eating garlic: if everyone eats it you cant smell it. I think. In the 60s and 70s you had to be stupendously unhygienic to even register as honking, or "bugsy" in the Lanarkshire vernacular. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 It'll not be long before you'll be able to strap on a headset and visit a convincing simulation of the major points of history. Might take a bit longer before you can experience the mystique of a mid-70s midweek cup tie at Brockville, but give it time. Pretty much anyone who says they'd love to have lived at, as opposed to just visited, a point in history is only saying so because they've never had to. We'd all be horrified by the realities that our ancestors lived through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still had milk horses in Edinburgh until the early 1980s. Folk used to come out with a bucket and spade and collect the horseshite for their roses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was around for Britpop. I wasn't that fussed about it because I'd quite liked the Madchester stuff that had come a few years before. Oasis were good though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
