For me, it's a split between two decades. I would have liked to have been in existance, between 1956 and 1967. That's when the Routemasters were having their time in the sun. I also like the vintage TV sets from that Era, as well, along with the Alumunium Christmas Trees. I also like the music from that time, as well. I also dig the fashions and TV shows from that time-frame, as well. :)

Which decades do the rest of you fancy?

I guess since I like technology and do not buy into the past being a better time I pick sometime in the near future perhaps 2030's when my nephews are my age now and we are fighting AI robots that are trying to exterminate us.

1930s- 1945. That was an interesting, but turbulent time to live in.

Maybe the 80's cause I love hair metal (Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Warrant, Skid Row, Winger, Night Ranger, etc) but also re-live the 90's because of TV shows like Road Rovers and Freakazoid.

I wouldn't like to actually live in another decade, but it would be fun to go back in time to 1954, when Roger Bannister broke the four-minute mile, or to 1896, when the first modern Olympic Games took place.

This one, and the next, and the one after that, and the one after that, maybe not the one after that.

I'd want to live in the 1890's. Back then, Chicago had the Columbian Exposition, which was absolutely beautiful. I think it would have been very nice to actually see it. Also, back in that time, streets were so safe, that when the weather was hot, people would bring out their sleeping bags, and go out sleep in the park. Sure can't do that nowadays.

Acording to the defintion of bleen its between 6 and 7 so that
means you want to live in between 2006 and 2007.
