Guy Goma alweays lands on his feet...

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Guy Goma being mistakenly interviewed on BBC News 24

Guy Goma is a Congolese business studies graduate who gained fame when he was accidentally interviewed on BBC News 24, a UK television news station, on May 8, 2006.

Goma was waiting to be interviewed for a position as a "Data Support Cleanser" in the station's IT department. At the same time, Guy Kewney, a British Internet music expert, was in another waiting area preparing for a live television interview on the subject of music downloading. The staff member who was sent to fetch Kewney, however, went to the wrong waiting area. Not knowing what Kewney looked like, the staff member asked Goma if he was Guy Kewney. Hearing his first name but perhaps believing "Kewney" to be a mispronunciation of his last name, Goma answered in the affirmative. BBC staffers put on makeup, and he was ushered to the television studio, where he was seated in front of the cameras. Although believing the situation to be highly unusual, he prepared to do his best for what he believed would be his job interview.

When introduced by Karen Bowerman, the program's host, as Internet expert Guy Kewney, Goma became visibly shocked as he finally realized the serious misunderstanding that had taken place. Now aware of the fact that he was on live television and not wishing to make a scene now that the interview had already begun, he simply played along, doing his best (in heavily French-accented English) to answer the interviewer's questions about the Apple Corps v. Apple Computer case and its ramifications for the music industry. Apart from the facial expression at the start, the interview with Goma seemed fairly believable to the viewers. In the meantime, Kewney, still in the waiting area, was himself shocked when he saw Goma interviewed in his place (though he was not able to hear the audio).

The stitched hock...

A photograph of the site of the removal of the hemangioma from my right leg near my ankle. Feels great. No problems.

A bunch of stitches to close the wound. Some beneath the skin; others, as you can see, on the surface of the skin.

Now, I remember. I had a small red dot on the site of the hemangioma for years. Must have gone into my ankle.
Not much coffee today. I was in several meetings.Coffee, hot and dark
