One place or event in history what would it be?

I'll start with an easy one. What really happened to JFK?

According to what I saw last night, JFK was beamed in by Rimmer to shoot himself from the grassy knoll...apparently it was all about needing a curry.

Ah RD on UK Gold, I don't think I have ever watched an episode right through.

Someone lent me a audio tape and I had a good laugh at that mind. I was never able to get into the series.

So many of them:

I want to be on Little Round Top when Colonel Chamberlain ordered the 20th Maine to fix bayonets and charge the rebs as they'd no ammunition left.
Stand with Leonidas and the 300 Spartans when they refused to stand aside and let the Persians through despite being outnumbered 100's to 1.
Watch the face of the German commander at Arnehm when he contacted the 2 Para to discuss terms for surrender and was told that his terms were acceptable and when would he like to start handing over his tanks.
With Rommel when he stood in the open looking at the Australian lines at Tobruk and attracted ranging shots from British Artillery; he shook off the protestations of his aides and informed the nearby German artillery commander that he ought to knock that gun out or he'd end up in front of a Court Martial - strangely enough the Afrika Korps battery applied themselves to the task with vigour.
Watch the reaction of the French Imperial Guards at Waterloo when they tried to march straight through our positions as the shadows lengthened and were stopped and turned back for the only time in their history when the British redcoats stood up out of the wheat and blasted them back down the hill with volley-fire - unstoppable force meets immovable object.
To have been there during the Battle of the Bulge when, despite all the intelligence reports claiming that the Germans had a single horse- drawn gun in the area, the massed fire of an entire Army Group shattered the woods along the Elsenborn Ridge. When the firing subsided for a moment in that brief pause before the German panzers and infantry struck, a pfc in the US 2nd Division was heard to remark, "Gee Colonel, they're sure flogging that poor horse to death!"
But top of the heap has to be SJP on 20th October 1996. I watched it on the telly and thought I would die from happiness, but to have been there in the flesh must have been out of this world.

So basically Softie, you just want to be anywhere where there's a good scrap going on!

I went to the colisseum in Rome this year and the place is inspiring .. you can almost feel the pasion in the place .. no stadium has made me feel like that apart from SJP ( not even Nou camp / Olympic stadium Rome or wembley ) , the colisseum is the real thing . So i think if i could be taken to one time it would be when Caesar ran the show , and i would have to have been a Senator or one of Caesars right hand men , otherwise any member of the public could just be hoyed in regardless . Apparently it was very plush in the corporate boxes in them days , and the pies were canny too , not like doon the road at the Chariot racing track where the catering and neeties were shocking : -)

Any particular horse you have your eye on to marry and then make a senator? [Someone dial 999, I have a new lead on the disappearance of Shergar] ;-)

Scuse me - just wondering!

Softie, if you have a death wish you could always visit Constantiople wearing in a Leeds United shirt.

In the bunker watching adolf top himself - just in case he might have needed a hand. Or better still, at his birth so I could have strangled him.
