    Yes indeed, it be Thursday.

    That means we should engage in a spot of throwing back, and for this viral video we are rewinding to 2006.

    A simpler time, before Facebook, when midweek hangovers weren’t crippling and the thought of back-to-back benders didn’t send shivers down the spine.

    Guy Goma is the hero of this video, and his plight is something that we can all relate to – being woefully underprepared and in over our heads.

    Except that wasn’t really Guy’s fault, as TIME spells out:

    Goma, after arriving at the BBC’s West London headquarters for an interview for a job in the IT department on May 8, 2006, was mistaken for a studio guest, British technology journalist Guy Kewney, and ushered all the way into a live BBC News 24 studio…

    Looking baffled and nervously eying the cameras, the wrong Guy proceeded to have a go at answering presenter Karen Bowerman’s questions about the future of downloading.

    Turns out Guy’s answers weren’t too far from the truth, but the real gem here is Guy’s face when the penny drops:

    It’s impossible not to like this man.

    Depending on who you ask, Guy might actually be more popular than Jimmy Carr. During the 2006 Big Fat Quiz of the Year, that certainly seemed to be the case:

    Guy, wherever you are in the world, we thank you.
