NurembergVillan Posted July 14, 2017 Moderator Share Posted July 14, 2017 I sometimes wonder what it'd be like to trade lives with someone for a week, or to live somewhere different, or do a different job. Not necessarily anything outlandish or "better" than I have now - just to do something different and see the world from another perspective. With that in mind, I thought it'd be interesting to see if any of you think the same and what you'd do. Here's a list. You've got a week with a different life. No consequences. Copy, paste, have at it! And tell us why, too. Celebrity - Footballer - Member of a band on tour - VT'er - Citizen of a country - "Other half" - Car to drive - Anything else, for a week - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) Celebrity - Donald Trump. I'd resign with immediate effect on the fourth day. Footballer - Dunno on this one. Someone who gets a big say in a big game I guess, maybe at the business end of the world cup or in the Champions League final. I think I'd like that experience more than just being able to name an individual player. I guess Cristiano Ronaldo in May or something. Member of band on tour - You've got to go big here, right? I can't see past Rolling Stones touring Exile on Main Street in 1972. Similar era Led Zep too I guess but the Stones tours of that era are the stuff of legend. VTer - Kryten. Citizen of a country - somewhere where they don't have the stuff we take for granted I guess. If I knew I would get out then it's North Korea in a heartbeat. Other half - Car - Aston Martin DB11. I'd spend a week driving it from London to Rome. Anything else? I'll get back to you. Edited July 14, 2017 by The_Rev 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted July 14, 2017 Author Moderator Share Posted July 14, 2017 Celebrity - Bradley Cooper, just to see what it'd be like to have so many birds gawping at me all the time! Footballer - I almost said Joey Barton, just so I could spend a week inside his head. I think I'd choose Zlatan though, just to have such talent. Member of a band on tour - Oasis, back in the day. I bet it was absolute carnage. VT'er - Hmm... If I was allowed to remember the week I'd probably pick @mjmooney so I could have all that experience already. But then half the fun is making mistakes... Citizen of a country - it's not a holiday. You've got to work for the week, grocery shopping etc. I'd pick India I think. I'd love to try a week there. "Other half" - possibly Tess Daly, just to see why Vernon Kay keeps drifting away. Or Holly Willoughby. I bet she makes a good brew un all. Car to drive - I wouldn't mind a week with an E-Type Jag. Anything else, for a week - I'd be able to play the guitar, and sing in tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member of a band on tour - Brandon Boyd from Incubus, but not recent Boyd. Maybe around 2001 with Morning View. Festival tour, all the drugs and women. Laid back as ****. VT'er - I don't know people well enough. Maybe Grasshopper so I could understand Citizen of a country - I think a remote tribe somewhere that has no sense of modern life. I often wonder whether ignorance is bliss or whether their lives are slowly being destroyed. "Other half" - For a week? Kelly Brook. Not for her intelligence. Car to drive - For some reason I always loved the Jaguar XJ220 as a kid. That would be some nostalgic win. Anything else, for a week - With no consequences? Week long heroin binge.
