    Watched it yesterday, mildly amusing face the guy, not Guy, pulls.

          Agree.

          The eponymous cabbie was only doing what ministers are paid £139K p.a. for - so good on him!

          Anyway, Guy Kewney is an utter fecking knob. A dull, worthless hack who has never ever provided any insight whatsoever into any significant trend or developement in the IT industry - no, not ever.

          Still, Guy's been a 'face' and a 'name' ever since PCW was a geek's hobby magazine - which he basically thinks it still is.

          Arhhhhhhhhhrggghhhhhhhhh

          You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

                Well, it turns out the guy, who is not that Guy, really is a Guy after all.

                Also he's an IT contractor...
