From the transcript I read in one of the papers he could barely string a sentence together. He probably thought they were asking whether he wanted a cup of tea.

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

Also he's an IT contractor...

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
