Bill Gates

I want to post an opinion i've held since i was a kid. I must have been saying for 15 years that i don't like Bill Gates on a personal level (and somes i may have used more colourful terms as well). This is because he has for my whole adult life been one of the richness men in the world yet does nothing worthy with his money or life. What i mean by that is at one point he was valued at $100 Billion and my point is that if you have that much money you could cure cancer and give with the change give cleaan water to everyone in the world who doesn't have it. Now loads of people have said to me over the years "yeah... but why should he ?" and my response has always been "Why wouldn't he ?",
In generations to come people won't remember the guy who cut and paste his way to a sucessful business empire (how many pictures have we seen depicting him as a evil Borg-like drone?) but they would remember a great benefactor who cured the worst diesee of our time.

I'm glad to say that today he and his wife seem to be devoting themselves to curing malaria which is a good idea as well and more ever he is evangulising for other super rich to do the same Far too many rich celelbrities limit their charity work to 'raising money' (from us poor citizens) rather than first opening their wallets and then asking us to help top it up. Also he is working with governements i think to get them to match his funding, his influence and the fact that he fronts his own cash and is now seen as a nice guy doing a nice thing means that he can amplify the money to good causes.

So fair play to you Mr G you finally got the message through the six degrees, you're time is far better spent doing this good work then continung to mopolise the PC and stifling innovation. However you have a long way to go before you match Cliff Richard, this is a guy who for decadesd has given 1 third of hsi income to charity and doesn't really publicise it. Still if cure Malaria Mr G all is forgiven, just don't forget the clean water though, there are some people that really need it.

5.2 KG and 8 weeks

Its amazing to me that AD is now 2 months old. He has lost his birth hair, re-grown some designer head stubble and grown in size massively. It seems like he has been with us for ages already and EJ hasn't really been jealous which is great.
EJ is bursting to speak and has been for the last few weeks, he has just been moved up in the nursery into an older group where all the babies speak, this is only going to accelerate matters. I will definately miss the cuteness and inocence but i'm also keen to see him to develop.
I'm so proud of my lovely lady wife who manages to look after the two tornados and manages to keep seen. Work is not always easy but i don't know if i could manage to look after two babies, on my own for as long as she does. Spanish ladies are made of tough stuff it seems.
