That's a cracker - I did have a haircut like that in the 80's when I was about 12, but that guy's stare is sinister.

Pulling either of those pranks in scouse land would be fast track to a bludgening..but EO was only joshin'

I doubt it.
You see the flaw in the otherwise masterful plan was to find blokes wandering the streets of Liverpool to con money out of them....

Ah... missed that - good point

[blacjac]

Before I got into IT, I used to wander around Liverpool looking for guys who had a vague resemblance to me, but who were ten years younger or so. I told them that I was them from the future and had come back in a time machine to make him/me rich. Just give me all your money so I can invest it , sorry, cant answer any questions in case it upsets the space/time continuum.
Thanks, byeee.
Then I would find a fit bird and tell her I was her rich husband from the future and she had sent me back in order to give her the best kn0bbing ever.

I'd return to 1987 and give my 17-year old self the chemistry textbooks and learning so that he could get the A-level chemistry A he needed to make a proper go of medical school.

If that's too far, I'd go back to 2006 and avoid cocking up my relationship.

I do so hope that you have a Patent Licensing Agreement with Threaded...

Which gets me wondering....

In the world of patents, where it's critical to have your patent registered first ahead of the competition, would it not be unreasonable to suggest that if time travel was possible, the patent is already sitting in a patent office somewhere ?

Why ?

Because if the technology was possible sometime in the future, no doubt it would be copied, and the dodgy parties would attempt to jump back in time to get their patent in first ahead of the real inventors.

Hence, there may have been a rush to hop back in time to whenever the patent office was first created and deposit a brown manila envelope with the most important invention mankind had ever designed, and tuck it away ready for the future.

Hey, it's just a theory...

What if someone has already come back in time and this is the better alternative?

I believe that when CERN finally starts running it will create a wormhole through which future time travellers can come back to visit us.

Hmm, better hide the evidence better.
