Wherever and whenever the Great Temple of Aphrodite was.

Otherwise:

961-1025: The three Byzantine general-emperors: Nicephorus II, John Tzimisces & Basil II Bulgaroctonus.

Sengoku Jidai.

1040-1100: Robert Guiscard and his Normans conquer Sicily, southern Italy and wage war on Byzantium.

When Genghis Khan was around

No takers for June, 1973?

Anyone for 29 July, 1981, around 14.00 hrs then? When the whole of Madrid was watching Charles and Diana's wedding (la Boda had been cheered and commented in the Spanish boulevard for months), the streets and crossings of that otherwise insanely busy city were deserted and me and my girlfriend, lying on a blanket in that piece of lush green central park with not even a dog in sight...

Never mind.. it's June 8th, 1815, in Waterloo for me!

A nice British colony somewhere in India or Kenya, anytime from 1890 - 1900. That would be nice. Sit around, smoke, shoot animals.

Then you'd better have gotten your arse over to South Africa and taken a nice Dutch landstead in Natal or the northern Cape Province -- provided I hadn't already.

I'd love to have been born in the early fifties. Then, by the time i'd have grown up, i'd join about 50 bands, get drunk, get mashed out on dangerous amounts of drugs, have a hope in hell of landing a record deal, or being a roadie with as many famous bands as possible.

Alternatively, if i did my childhood over, i'd change so much. My first act would be to establish some kind of racketeering system in my high school.

You always get the great ideas when it's too late, i guess.

Yes, being an officer in Wellington's staff would have been good.
