I like to daydream that I find myself back in 1949 or similar
and imagine how much money I would make 'inventing' stuff that is yet to be invented and 'writing' the Beatles back catologue.

How do you know....
That the Beatles didnt travel back in time and stole some other bands work from that alternative timeline.

I CALL THEM: THE DEEDY-POO'S

I do that, too!
I also do things like publish a theory of special and general relativity, write the Philosophical Investigations, invent the paperclip and so on, just a year before anyone else. I play Nevermind the Bollocks to Jagger in 1968, but save In Utero for the band I will have formed. And so it goes on.


EDIT: I'd also be a shit-hot financial speculator with an implausible run of luck on the horses...

Along the same lines
I sometimes wonder if things would be different if I gave a copy of my GCSE physics book to, say, Sir Isaac Newton, and just let him get on with it.

I do the exact same thing
I always think if I ever invented time travel, I would make a fucking mint! Think Biff from Back to the Future with less morals!

Similarly...
...Back To The Future would have been better if Marty McFly had played Paranoid instead of that Chuck Berry number (they all sound the same)

Stairway to heaven
would have been nice.

Or London Calling but I wouldn't imagine that would be too popular in America at the time :P

I do this!
Sometimes I wonder what I'd write down for future generations...to hide it somewhere it wouldn't be disturbed for however long I'd gone back in time...and then what I'd show the people to make the past cooler. Damn the consequences!

Hmm
FlexAlux, you're not a scriptwriter for Nicholas Lindhurst's 'Goodnight Sweetheart' are you? I loved that show.
