Title: Gates Recieves knighthood (from the Queen of England, duh) Post by: Footman on 2005-03-11, 05:56 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3428673.stm (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3428673.stm)
"We are the Knights who have lots of..... "Mon-Ni"!" Ok Monty Python jokes aside... I have no comment on this. Would've killed me if Bill had turned to the camera and said the above quote, though. :P Title: Re: Gates Recieves knighthood Post by: Tabun on 2005-03-11, 06:06 Next, Bush'll win the Pullitzer, and Osama will get nominated for the 2006 oscars.
Title: Re: Gates Recieves knighthood Post by: Phoenix on 2005-03-11, 19:11 Quote Mr Gates, 48, the world's wealthiest man, said it was "a great honour" to be recognised for his business skills and for his work on poverty reduction. So I guess because he's ultra-rich he's not impoverished, hence poverty reduction...? :huh: And don't get me started on the whole charity bit, I know plenty of poor people who get more help from fellow poor people than they'd ever hope to see from someone with the kind of dough he's got.

Title: Re: Gates Recieves knighthood Post by: Footman on 2005-03-12, 02:11 I'm beginning to suspect the queen's getting senile in her old age.
Title: Re: Gates Recieves knighthood Post by: YicklePigeon on 2005-03-12, 03:52 Yet another publicity stunt...this time pulling in the world's most hated man in order to attract attention to themselves. As for the "little chat about computers" he apparently had with the Queen, I would not be at all surprised if it was tech support for a broken down Windows 95 machine.
Regards, Yickle. Title: Re: Gates Recieves knighthood Post by: games keeper on 2005-03-16, 20:26 Quote the world's most hated man no thats bush his place .

The queen is smoking crack. She's a nut case. Take up your sword Bill and slash down small software develper companies. Take that competitors!
