Hilarious - BBC picks up cabbie to talk about Apple vs. Apple

Brilliant. Let's have more of this. Instead of interviewing 'experts' on the matters of the day let's just pick people at random.

I would be more inclined to actually "watch" the news than read it online if this were the case.

Yes, I think I would too.

That's a fine idea, but given that most "experts" are already pretty random, I'm not sure it would make much difference.

You've spotted the flaw in my proposal!

That was a wonderful interview.

Kudos to the guy for keeping his calm and BSing his way trough the interview.

am I the only one that couldn't understand what that cabbie said at all

No, no, on the contrary... that's what makes it perfect.

I caught this on the BBC News site earlier. Absolutely fantastic!! They have to give him a job after that, especially after he managed to blag his way through it. Watching it after knowing that he wasn't supposed to be there is all good and well but if you were to see this live on tv you probably wouldn't have noticed anything that strange because half of the people they interview talk rubbish anyway!! Its even more convincing when the reporter afterwards agrees with what he said!

Hmm, wonder if they'll be giving him the job?

Maybe some kind of spy job would be good for him - the graduate pretending to be a taxi driver pretending to be an IT expert

Shouldn't think so. In this article, Guy Goma describes his interview as 'very short':

Incidentally, the video on this page has a longer preamble than the version linked by the OP. In her introduction, the presenter, Karen Bowerman, reports that the judge 'has just ruled in favour of Apple Corps'.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I wonder what her real job is?
