Bill Gates interview fake, claims Vole

MICROSOFT HAS accused a Norwegian hack of making up an interview with Bill Gates.

According to Aftenposten, Bjorn Benkow of Aftonbladet had claimed he'd chatted to the knight of the realm - Sir William Gates III - during a two hour commercial flight.

Gates is said to have disclosed the amazing fact that he doesn't carry much spare change on him. If true, this will be bad news for Big Issue vendors everywhere.

Aftonbladet is sticking to its story, said Aftenposten. There could be few things more inclined to send you to sleep than having to listen to Sir Will drone on for two hours, we'd suggest.

If Benkow did interview Billy Boy, we're astonished he's not still in a state of the deepest somnambulism. He should count himself lucky that he's not had to listen to Steve Ballmer at full pelt, delivering decibels enough to drown out the sound of four propellors. µ
