The Guy Goma video
I read this hilarious story on Friday in IT Week writer Guy Kewney's blog, then I almost spat out my fried egg this morning when I saw it in the papers. It's already being covered by The Mirror, The People, The Times and The Guardian.
It's the story of what happens when the BBC lines up an interview with a tech expert but somehow a foreign taxi driver is ushered on set and interviewed instead. "Speaking with a French accent, the man appeared stumped when questioned about the complicated High Court case, but gamely carried on - offering his own opinion of what the case meant." Hi-lairous. Here's the video.

This is taking on a life of its own. Poor 'guy' Kewney - will he ever live it down. More to the point - where is this cabbie - he should have a blog?!

The BBC have put a link up for the video, and the story is all over the radio today too - poor guy I think he did rather well considering!

He just made it over to Canada. They're playing the BBC interview with the 'other' Kewney on CBC radio as I speak.
Someone at the beeb won't be getting their bonus this year...

This is a classic and had me in stitches for a long time! The guy did pretty well though!
