This one had me howling! Hilarious.

Last week a London Court ruled on a court case involving Apple Computer and the record label owned by the Beatles. How exciting.

At any rate, BBC called one Guy Kewney, the editor of Newswireless.net, to their studios to be interviewed about the court case. When a production flunky ran to the lobby to retrieve Mr. Kewney for the interview he managed to grab a clueless cab driver instead. The poor cabbie, who could barely speak English, was slammed onto the set and suddenly he was being interviewed about a case he knew nothing about!

You gotta give him credit. He was game... in spite of the look of absolute panic when he realized what was happening.

Here's the story.

There's a link in the story where you can watch the interview. Nobody knows who the cabbie is. They're looking for him, and if they find him he'll be an instant Brit celebrity. Thanks to Matt Drudge for finding the story, and Neal Boortz for posting it.

While the test to become a cabbie is very strict, and those cabbies really have to know their knowledge, from Abbott Street to Zoffany Close, they will gladly regale their trapped passenger with an opinion on everything in the world, despite the fact that they may be totally ignorant about it.

"Bleedin' terrorists, eh? String 'em up, I say. That's the only language they understand""?

"Ya know, guv, I 'ad that Paul Mc Cartney in the back of the cab once. Good musician, but he didn't have a clue. Didn't know what it was all about. Paul, I said, 'What's it all about?' But he didn't know."

Tony Blair is 156.

Watched it on the tube last night and thought the guy was a riot. The expression on his face when he realized how he had been introduced was priceless (clueless???).

That was a hoot. They had it on Countdown with Olbermann.

They said the cabbie's first name was also Guy and he was there to interview for a job. So someone came up to him and said, "Are you Guy, here for an interview?" He said yes, and away they went. The BBC had him on a show later.

Let's hope the guy becomes some kind of star because of this.
