Accy Web time capsule.
 
I remember as a six year old watching Valerie Singleton, Peter Purves and John Noakes, planting a time capsule in the Blue Peter garden in 1971.

They put inside it a Blue Peter annual, a set of decimal coins, (a better idea might have been to put in a set of pre-decimal money), photographs of the presenters and pets, and a recording of the signature tune.

I even remembered to tune in as a thirty five year old in 2000, to see the original gang of three dig up the box, which they eventually found once they'd got past Petra the dog's bones, and various tortoise shells.

If we were to bury a time capsule, that showed how we lived today, what do you think should go inside it?

By the way, it's only a box, not a coffin, before someone suggests Peter Britcliffe...as if we would.:D

hmm... burying stuff? How about Britcliffe :D

Agree with most of Spug's stuff, you could put in a team picture of the Stanley side that won promotion aswell as all kinds of football fans like to know about Stanley's past.

Re: Accy Web time capsule.
 
If, as the title suggests, this is an Accyweb Time Capsule then I think it should be representative of Accyweb, so here's my list.

A bottle of Russian Vodka to represent Roy, the founder.
A Stanley scarf, obvious what that represents.
Mez's pussy,
Rindy's dressing gown,
A bottle of Absinthe, to represent the meets
Photos of where we live,
A bag of willy shaped chocolates because someone always turns up at the meets with some..:D

How long would it be left buried? Where would we bury it where no one would dig it up for the fun of it?

Under one of the young oak trees on Broadway.

To be opened in 2107.

For those of you not around then to see it opened, I'll try and get a message to you on the other side.:D

I am sure the Council of the day will be pleased to have to kill a 100 year old oak tree to dig up a plastic box full of c**p :D :D

Should this turn into a remotely feasible idea - we have used a time capsule maker type person, they are usually made out of lead so that they don't disintigrate or decompose. They are then welded closed. There is a website that you can log all time capsules on so that you can find it in a few years time.

Yes, we should get some of them Metal Calipers for some of the bendy blokes that hang around outside pound shops.
