That's tough. I'd want to use it for time travel like Bill & Ted in the Excellent Adventure so I can see historical events. I'd love to have seen the Persian Wars and the Battle of Marathon in Greece, the Parthenon in Athens' Golden Age, Rome in the time of the Republic, and later under Julius and Augustus Caesar. Alexander the Great and Constantine the Great would have been awesome to meet, and I'd get to see ancient Egypt and Babylon. Clearly, Jesus and Mohommed would be interesting people to see as they preached. I'd have loved to have met Saladin and seen the French Revolution. And the first Emperor of China seems to be an interesting man. there is just too much!

Ohhhhh, this is my favourite question! I would go anywhere and everywhere, baby! Are we talking TARDIS here? I'm a timelord trapped in a human's body.
OK, here's where I'm going to go in the past, off the top of my head:
The court of Henry VIII (to find out why the ladies loved him)
The court of Charles II (ditto)
Studio 54, NYC (late 1970s)
CBGBs, NYC (ditto)
Woodstock
Glastonbury 1993
Duran Duran's Arena tour (1984, any venue)
Drinking with Janis Joplin
David Cassidy at Manchester's Belle Vue stadium
Partying at Graceland with Elvis
Sex with Michael Hutchence (pre-Kylie)
Oh, there's loads of places I'd go!
I'd like to nip into the future too, so that I know whether the work I'm busting my gut over now comes to fruition. it'd give me a bit more hope and positivity, because right now I don't know what the fudge I'm doing or where I'm going. LOL
I'd like to explore a few planets too. Would that be possible?

Probably the late 60s to 70s, in America, where there's bohemians and hippies, and people were revolutionising the country and beginning to experience freedom of speech and expression. Great rock and roll music, not sure about the drugs part though.

i know you cant change history ..but it would be wicked..think of where you could go...you could witness your own birth..see yourself growing up..but...would you stop yourself from doing the things that got you into trouble???..or go back to more recent history..say you worked in engineering..and it was you who designed the Dyson..or became sir Virgin Atlantic...but then everyone would be doing it..we all do things we regret..we all miss someone who has died..we are all human..why are we fighting?...because that is the nature of man...let nature take its course...but of course we could ACTUALLY change the future...couldn't we..? think about it...
