I am running out of time to become famous, a super rich sportsman or rock star. I suppose nothings impossible but I don't think I have ever really been chasing it either, the extra money might be nice but I don't think I could handle at the attention and fame.
Then again, I suppose I was famous at work!
It started when I spent 3 years at a cement factory as a casual contractor. Then went to work at another big factory for 18 years. A lot of people work at places a long time but as a casual contactors every day? They usually come and go. No one else at my company achieved anything like it especially as I was doing project work as well as service and breakdowns.
Over 18 years I saw a lot of changes, different owners, many bosses and endless rules regulations. Thinking back makes me laugh as they tried to get rid of me many times but I knew too much and worked harder than there own people. I cost them a lot of money but they could not afford to get rid of me until eventually the times forced changes.
In the end they did not care if the machines did not run and production stopped. They seemed happy if things broke and they would have a meeting later to workout who to blame. A pretty sad sort of progression but it was good to be out and it was definitely time for a change. My fame came to an end!
Once you get to be over about 50 years old, the quickest and easiest way to become famous (and possibly rich) is to commit some kind of high-profile crime. And I don't mean going into politics 😉 Being a serial killer or mass murderer is a great way to get instantly famous, but does have it's down-sides.
The best, though was the Hatton Garden gang. They were mostly in their 60's and 70's, a bunch of retired bank robbers and the like. They did a remarkably ingenious robbery of the Hatton Garden safety deposit box vault. Their logic was that if they got away with it, they'd be rich for the rest of their lives, and if they were caught then the lifestyle in prison was far, far better than the life of a pensioner on the meagre UK state pension - at least they'd be able to eat every day. They were actually caught, mainly because one of the wives got stupid with shopping for over-expensive fashion clothes. I'm not sure if they ever received the royalties from the film.....

I think I saw it on TV a long time ago. A very interesting idea but I think I will give it a miss.

!LOL that's such a great point, we can always have some kind of fame and it doesn't need to be like worldwide recognition.

Done
Fame is always associated with fortune, on the other hand, with a lack of privacy and peace.
