mistaking a cabbie for a legal expert and discussing the recent apple computers VS Apple corps victory at the high court.

I liked the Taxi driver seemed very symphatic and even told  he was the wrong person but she did not get it

I feel sorry for Guy, that cant have done his general credibility any good

Deaths Head

He wasnt a cabbie but a graduate applying for an IT job.

Hes probably done his chances some good anyway as at least he kept going and didnt give too much away. Perhaps hell become a politician :D

Wonderous thing is Guy Kewney is a caucasian and anyone who had looked at a picture of him would know that the one they got wasnt him.

They probably just asked if he was Guy and missed off the surname.

I found this highly amusing, is this the biggest cock up the BBC have done yet me wonders?

Serious

ROFL, The Mail On Sunday has a column written bu Guy Goma, no joke.  :lol:

"The Guy Goma Column - The Right Views From The Wrong Guy - And No Mistake!"

Its him giving a quick opinion on current news/events, Ie should blair go, global warming, world cup, big brother etc.

On a sad note looks like the guy is facing deportation over a "visa irregulairty".  He has been here on a tourist visa but has never applied for a work permit.
