10 Rules of Time Travel
by Tavis Parks
1 – Always wear dark colours in simple and plain cuts – boots if possible. Black is best because apart from being ubber cool it also translates to most eras. A cape or cloak is a useful and adaptable accessory.
2 - Don’t drink the water unless someone vouches for its quality – try brewed or fermented beverages they are generally a safer drink and in modest quantities can help to reduce stress levels and improve overall demeanor.
3 – In the words of Douglas Adams ‘Don’t panic’ – if you feel the onset of extreme anxiety go to rule 2 and down another.
4 – When in a confrontational situation wherever possible run and hide. Leave the fighting to the warriors. (Warriors may ignore this rule unless they feel in need of a career change).
5 – Always carry a mobile phone or coms. device with WiFi and internet capability. Yes the web does transcend time and space (see Phobos).
6 – Keep contact with natives to a minimum and when interaction is inevitable always choose good looking people. There is no logic to this it just makes for a more pleasant experience and who knows you may pull.
7 – Contrary to popular belief it is possible to die in ones past – i.e. die before being born - so stay safe and away from pointy and shooty things.
8 – Monks and Nuns may be holy types but be wary they can also be very bad news – this is not some kinda anti-Christian vibe just consider this, can you think of a better disguise that is timeless and fits into almost any situation without question?
9 – If you ever see me – please feel free to introduce yourself, I need all the friends I can get.
10 – Do it your way – what do I know?
McFizzer would like me to make it clear that he had no part in the above rules although I can say that it did keep us entertained on a rainy afternoon whilst waiting for that nutter Drufus to turn up on my doorstep.

Perhaps a plan of action is required?
