What would you do? Disregard any realism or fear of consequence. This is supposed to be fun, not a school question.
I'd go back in time with AK47's and tanks and win the revolutionary war faster.  Maybe stop by and say Hi to Jesus. |

I'd go back to the 80s, and make the most of being able to see all the TV shows back then, as well as all the West End musicals that came out back then.  Maybe also buy a load of vinyl to add to my collection, so that it would all still be in mint condition. |

I'd write so many songs songs that haven't been written yet and get rich off of them. xD |

I'd find out the results of loads of sports matches, then go back in time and make lots of money betting on the results.

I wouldn't go back very far. Maybe the 20s or 30s and join a carnival, hang out in opium dens, and be mysterious.

Oh, and I also want to go back to the 30's/40's and talk to George Orwell.

Darn, I got so many serious replies to that question.
Um...I guess I would go back a couple years so I could have more time with my mom.

I would go back in time to 1930 so that I could ride the following golden age roller coasters that have since been torn down:
Cyclone---Crystal Beach, Canada
Airplane---Rye Beach, New York
Bobs---Riverview, Chicago, Illinois
Cyclone Racer---Long Beach, California
Wildcat---Idora Park, Youngstown, Ohio
Cyclone---Puritas Spring Park, Cleveland, Ohio
and of course some others too

I'd go save Mozart and Egon Schiele and Toulouse-Lautrec, and, uhm.. I can't remember any other cool artists who died young, but I'd find out and go save them. THENNNN.. I would appear for a split second behind Hitler and do annoying things to him many times throughout his life. Like pants him on the podium and jab him with a pen and bump his arm while he was painting and dump jam on his head, etc. I should probably just kill him, but.. no. The jam is better.

I'd go back to 1962 and get a job doing technical things at the BBC... and over the course of the next ten years or so, steal all the master tapes for Doctor Who episodes that people think got "junked". Then we could have some new Patrick Troughton re-runs!
