Meh. They're both still filthy rich and it seems amicable.

I care an awful lot about how much people don't care about how much I don't care about how much I don't care.

I also think it is sad, but at least it does not seem to end like in "The war of the roses".

re Niki i guess he prefers other units like imperial ones, as would the brits.
Anglosaxons resisted decimalised systems for a long time because they think it is too complicated

It seems they incidentally chipped themselves, and now malfunction.

Good to see the relationship hasn't turned acrimonious.

The only proper answer here is "a metric F&$#tonne."

The real question is how many sh!tloads equal a metric F&$#tonne.

Well, it just depresses me to think of people like the Gates who seemed to be in synch, who have achieved so much, helping the world, and unable to manage their relationship.

It may be that their managing the world they neglected managing their marriage. When the marriage is no longer put first over everything it will quietly die. Emotional connection lost. Roommates at best.

Money may buy one a lot of things. It will however not buy love.

Me thinks this marriage was over with a long time ago, the only sad thing about it was is that these two currants were out saving the world and never realised it.

I'm sure they'll have no end of young studs and hotties willing to give their entire souls away for a chance to grab at some of their billions.

I would think they don't care about the rutting hordes in the least.
