Have you all heard that Bill Gates is now Sir Bill Gates ?

Apparently he actually got knighted a few days ago. Heard this on the readio.

Hivetyrant 03-03-2005 05:00 PM

He was knighted alright, but he's definitely not Sir Bill, he's not British, so the "Sir" part is off limits for him.

Like he really gives a damn. :D

<span style="color: lightblue">Actually, he isn't. He's an honourary member of the Order of the British Empire, meaning that he doesn't get the title 'Sir'. He also isn't counted in the number of Knights in the order.
Which means that he is still beaten by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, KBE (who was also knighted before Bill Gates).

Kakero 03-03-2005 06:39 PM

A non british can be knighted? That's news to me. Maybe I have a chance to be knighted too then? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Hivetyrant 03-03-2005 07:20 PM

lol, she didnt even know who Paul McCartney was [img]tongue.gif[/img]

</font>[/QUOTE]LOL, Great Minds Think alike and all that... I was about to post the same thing when I saw you'd done it. :D In our news they noted that he can add some alphabet soup type thing to the end of his name to indicate he has been knighted but he cannot be 'Sir' since he's not British.

Order of the British Empire, OBE for short.

OBE Bill Gates?

<span style="color: lightblue">As much as I agree with the sentiment, it's KBE :(

Hivetyrant 03-04-2005 06:32 AM

Nope, its OBE.
