How would YOU like to be remembered? For example, as a particularly sunny personality? As a super-brain? etc., etc.

How did you manage to answer that so FAST? I had barely created this topic, and someone had immediately answered it.

I'd prefer not to be remembered. People who are remembered are normally remembered for the wrong reasons.

Of course they are Topher. Like Ghandi for instance.

OK some people aren't, but people won't forget Hitler in a hurry, will they?

In any case, when I'm toast I'd rather my memory just go with it.

Thats a bit of an extreme... He killed thousands upon thousands of Jews and your wondering why he isn't remembered more for his painting and decorating skills?

Well OK.. my last statement (about being remembered for the wrong reasons) was a bit of a sweeping generalisation, but I tend to think more people are remembered for being infamous than they are for being famous. Especially nowadays, when the word 'legend' is bandied about for anyone who's had a bit of success.

Hmm, to be remembered after I'm dead I'm going to kill hundreds of Jews and one clown.

Ah but History is written by the winners. If the germans had won the war would we be saying how great Hitler was and that Ghandi was a nutter with a salt fetish!

In which case after I've set up my new religeon and become leader of the new world order I'll have a huge shrine built for me where teary eyed virgins can bring my spirit offerings while they meditate on my greatness.

I don't really mind. I'll be gone, let anybody who cares to think about me afterwards think whatever they wish!

Someone famous dying is a great way for them to boost their profile, whether infamous or not you will still be remembered for going out in style, better than going on Big Brother and prancing around in a leotard.

Unless you're Richard Bacon of course. I watched this interview with him recently, and he was saying how even if he invents the teleport it will only ever be a footnote on his obituary and that, instead, 'Blue Peter Druggie' will take centre place on his gravestone. Something along those lines, he said...........................

I want to be remembered as a generally all round good fun person!

I'm getting there

I'm round
I'm a person
I'm often fun
The good bit is causing me some problems ;)

He'll be lucky if he gets an obituary of any prominence. Such is the nature of celebrity, here today, gone the next (from the spotlight, not dead).
