    If you guys could choose any era, decade or year to go back in time to live out the rest of your life when would it be?

    I'd go back to the late 50s. I'm 41 so I'd get to live well into the 80s, or even the 90s. Just thinking about all of today's problems and how they weren't around when I was a kid. We've all heard of baby boomers and I think they had the best life ever lived on Earth. They had everything, and they retired early enough to live a little and got a decent pension too.

    I could work just 40 hours a week and earn enough to own a nice home and for the mrs to look after the house and kids without working. I could fix my own car without an expensive diagnostic computer, I would eat fresh wholesome food! People got a career back then and stuck it for life. I know there was still crime but nothing like it is today, it was a safer place. And after the war of course Britain went a long time without any major wars apart from a month or so when a few boats went down to the Falklands.

    The music wasn't bad either! 50s rock and roll is where my music interests start. And couples used to court, rather than fucking on the first date after meeting online on plenty of fish or whatever it is. There was hardly any depression because men used to go down the pub and just let it all out to their mates, now pubs are food places with families and kids and you can't swear. Traffic today is mental, and all that road rage too, I hate my commute most out of everything in my modern life.

    Don't get me wrong, I like jetting off and seeing other countries and the internet, Netlix, mobile phones, microwaves, vidyagames, Amazon etc etc etc. They're all fantastic! But sometimes I feel like an old person getting lost in it all, and I really do think I'd prefer to live in years gone by. Not so keen on the fashion if I'm honest, but if I could live through that time as an adult I think I'd be happy.

      Editing … Don't get me started on flat earth because I am literally an expert. I've watched Conspiracy catz, scimandan, creaky blinder, fight the flat earth etc etc since they began. It's a nonsense subject easily explained. The heliocentric model accurately predicts everything, and I mean literally everything that happens in a cosmic scale. It can't predict me raping your mom or the police would use it in court as evidence, but it got the moon and stars and eclipses banged up behind bars no worries.

      Editing … The Circle (2017) is legit still one of the scariest movies I've ever seen... The main character fights to destroy the concept of privacy. Full transparency, constant connection with others, brings her comfort. She accidentally kills someone by forcing this life of full transparency on someone, yet she continues to pursue a world where this is commonplace. HORRIFYING, and not a ghost or cosmic threat in sight.
