I do sometimes think about that, how I would make money gambling if I went back in time. Presumably if you kept putting a million pounds on the cup final or whatever and kept winning then they would ban you. Or rather, how would you reach the position where could put a million pounds on the cup final, you'd need to do a lot of smaller bets first. I ponder this for a while and then I remember that it isn't a problem that I need to find a solution to.

Me too. I'd do an accumulator on 2015. Making a ton of money on the 2015 Challenge Cup final, then sticking a chunk of it on Leicester at 5000-1 odds to win the league the following year.

Cor is money all that matters to you? I'd do something truly noble like warn Ched Evans not to climb through that window and rape that drunk girl.

How much do you think you'd realistically be able to bet on Leicester winning the Premier League in 2016? I think if you put over a tenner on it you'd be investigated by the police.

I'd lay the ground work by making other long shot bets I knew would fail of about £500 a time. Then, when I got my money on at 5000-1, I'd have a cool 2.5 million.

I may have thought about this too much.

Seeing a big hole in the ground where the Shard should be, followed by a massive poster for Avatar, followed by the sound of "We No Speak Americano" blasting out of a shiny-new 10 reg, followed by the pounds being round and the notes being paper.

I'd then run through the streets screaming "DON'T DO IT! DON'T AGREE WITH NICK!!" blasting a vuvuzuela into the faces of confused locals.

My daily routine of grabbing people by the lapels and demanding "What year is this? Who is the president?" means I'd solve this problem pretty quickly.

What if I went to 2029? I'd probably know immediately because everybody would be dead.

We'd all forget about you after a few days then we'd get to 2029 where you had been patiently waiting for 10 years pressing F5. There would be a joyful reunion and then we would all go back to moaning about the young people they have on the 2029 version of CaB.

I was going to say I'd immediately know if I was in Birmingham city centre because it wouldn't be a massive fucking building site but actually yes it would. It always has been and always will be.

People's windows in our village would be full of lib dem signs instead of fucking Brexit signs. Are these the same people? Is this what 9 years of twitter and BBC bias does to you?!?

I've pondered before, out walking around where I live, that if I sauntered through a time portal to 1957 I probably wouldn't notice, except of course for the lack of UPVC windows, and elms.

I'd probably just go to CeX and think I was in 2004 until I noticed some of the DVDs.
