....which would it be?

I have always wanted to be a Cowboy.
I reckon it would be absolutely brilliant.
Wake up in the morning, nick a horse and shoot someone, ride to the next town, play some poker, drink some whiskey, shoot the sheriff, then leave town by sunset....
Or something like that.
My GF even bought me a "cowboy experince" at the New Forest for my last birthday, it was briliant.

How about you?


ETA: this has NOTHING to do with Brokeback Mountain.

I'd love to live in the future. Possibly when we've got flying cars and easy space travel. Oh, and that thing they had on star trek with the holographic projector room. Could be fun.

You may laugh, but I enjoyed it!
Also, they do the real deal experiences in the states, but costs something like £7 grand!

Id say around the year 3000AD. To see how the world has turned out (Id imagine it'd be worse off than today - or wonder if the Human Race would even exist!)

Past - I would liked to have been a Minoan or Mayan when either civilisation was thriving.

Sorry mate, the New Forrest and cowboys provided a mental image of grown men on a pony trek. Not quite Gunfight at the OK corral.

Hard choice between two times:

1) 80's Yuppie era. I would love to park up my white 911 cab, adjust my red braces over my blue shirt with white collors and cuffs and wander over to my Makepeace esq love interest...... Pop into a wine bar and drink some Pernod......Laughing at all the poor people....



2) American gangster times. I wanna wear this type of stuff.......



edited to state, the mens clothing in the picture. before some smart arse writes "are you a TV then"?

idea

Assuming this is a time travel job, so I can take my modern knowledge with me......

I'd pick around 10 months before Jesus was born, stick a spear through that wet flannel Joseph, slip Mary a piece of meat....and so the story begins...

I wonder what the bible would say about me?

Quite happy as I am thanks....smile

Grew up in the fifties/sixties, experienced "Swinging 60's" London, The Beatles, Stones etc, used to go to school on a steam train, used to play football in the park with my mates till 10pm in Summer without fear of being attacked or worse......saw Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, The Who, Barclay James Harvest etc in their prime......

Wouldn't have it any different......cloud9

Brown will still be in power as "Robo-Brown" and minimum tax on wages will be 150% laugh

Not sure when I'd have like to lived, probably back when they were starting to explore the world and find Australia, New Zealand, the Americas etc smile
