Mumsnet Talk

...very kissable lips .

That is all...

YABVU.

Ewww.

Eeeww.

YABU.

Ooh no, rubbery lips! and too much smug smirking.

YANBU

no sirree.

He is lovely and incredibly clever which is always very attractive. I am completely with you!

Not for me - too toothy and quite a cheesy demeanour.

His intelligence is attractive but the man himself? erm, no.
His lips are all shiny (and weird) and his hair annoys me.

Am glad I won't be fighting off too many of you

Nice voice, but don't like to watch him.

He played keyboards in the band D-Ream ya know [cool emoticon]

Oh yeah. ...I know....so very cool as well.

No and a boring bastard to boot!

Ooo yuck - he looks like the kind of creepy bloke who corners you at a party and stands too close to you and just sort or stares in a quite disconcerting way. <shudder>

Boring? Really? Maybe you should stick to Eastenders then....!

Bleurgh. <vomits> No thanks. Yabu!

Well, he's clearly a bit like Marmite.
I like him and his enthusiasm but wouldn't make the beast with 2 backs with him!

Ewwwww no.

DD can't watch him as she gets creeped out by the way he even manages to smile that wet-lipped smug grin whilst talking.

Clearly it's been too long since I drank wine then. Only had one glass too .

Still like him though

I think his wife might have something to say about this thread I wonder if she's a mumsnetter? Their youngest is 3 I think.
She looks refreshingly normal, despite having been an American TV presenter.

<boak>

He is married then? [disappointed]

Lord no! His voice grates on me too.

he's from royton. there's nothing there.

Ewwww

No

Just no.

YADNBU he is lovely. I love his hair and sexy smile but he does sometimes wear horrible t shirts which I find a bit off putting.

He looks dribbly.

loads of people fancy Prof Cox. I don't see it myself. I'm more of a Jim Al-khalili girl.

YANBU I love him! I find the combination of intelligence and enthusiasm so attractive.

I find him a bit wet and annoying tbf.

When I was 16 I actually worked with him. He was in a heavy rock band back then and was 19. He wore skinny jeans and had long curly 'rocker' hair but still had a lovely smile. I remember everyone who I worked with winding me up saying 'You should go out with Brian' because we were not far off similar ages.
I was not a rocker though and didn't fancy guys with longer hair than mine in skinny jeans BUT I did end up having a drunken snog with him!
If he looked then like he does now, that would be a different story!

Yanbu, he is lovely.

I would let both sets of my lips heal over before I let him near me.

Oh dear country kitten.... Just because I actually find the subject fucking boring please don't be such a complete twat.

I have never watched Eastenders love. But I expect you do.

Those lips uuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrgh!

He is just too feminine looking for me, those lips would be great if they belonged to a woman and a very smooth shiny complexion (like David Camerons - bleugh).
No l prefer men to look like men, thats why DH is a grey haired,beer bebellied,hairy arsed builder.

<looks at DH snoring on settee and starts to wonder if taken my quest for a 'manly' man' too far >

'beer bebellied' - l meant beer bellied..but l might adopt that phrase instead.

He always strikes me as very pleased at his own intelligence. "I am considerably cleverer than yaaaooooouuuuuuu!" and isnt he so very kind for sharing his knowledge with us thickos?

I am not saying he is like that, but thats how he comes across to me, so in summary YABU!

I always felt he wad too limp lillied for me based on his looks.

But I listened to him on 5live and I was converted, what a voice and so enthused by what he does I'd shag him in a minute.

Move over Jake, I'm in!

Everytime I see him all I can think of is depp but not in a good way.

That should say Johnny Depp.

Ewwwwwwww.

No. Sorry. I think he is incredibly odd looking. Nightmarish. Cruel I know.

I love him.

Yabu.

He has rubber lips. Are they real? They don't look it anyway, he looks fake. Just urgh.

YANBU. I love him and will fight you to the death for him

I think he' s lovely...could listen to him all day, even though i hated physics at school. Plus, he seems really kind and unpretentious....bet he's a really nice daddy.

ermmm no. why does he remind me of a cross between James Blunt and Gok Wan??????!!!!

LOVE when horrible histories impersonate him tho...

''hello, I'm a gorgeous viking scientist...amaaazing''.

''hello, Im a hot Egyptian scientist...amaaazing.'' priceless!!!!!

You've only just noticed this?

If only the bloke that taught me science at school had looked that hot...

I quite like him, but not in a fancying sort of way. His hair reminds me of my mum's.

No I like him on telly but think he looks too much like a woman

Yes, I love him........<3
Though I don't understand a lot of what he says!

I love Foxy Coxy. He's so smart and interesting, has lovely hair, kissable lips and a mesmerising voice. I'd do him in a heartbeat sorry Gia.

"Foxy Coxy "

My 78 year old mum is OBSESSED with him.

Yes yes to MikeLitoris I always get the Johnny Depp Willy Wonka image when I see him. My sister luffs him she has a tshirt with his face on and I Love Cox written underneath

I'd give him one.

I fully intend to kidnap him if I ever trip over him on campus.

no, he is an arrogant smug twat. And has taught me nothing about physics

I think he is absolutely revolting, but love alex hill ... Who does that programme and cox was on it last night.

YABU, but only because he scarily resembles my least favourite aunt ( she is somewhere between Dr Cox and Cliff Richard )

I am sure he is lovely, but i just can't get past that tbh.

No way is he attractive. His inane grin, floppy hair and girlish lips just give me the creeps. And his voice is an even bigger turn off.

I would have said yes Yabu but recently from watching stargazing there is definitely something about him so no yanbu - he is quite attractive (and I would say "adventurous" in bed!)

Mmmm I LOVE him, definitely wouldn't throw him out of bed for eating crisps lol

I would rather kick him out and just eat the crisps myself

Me too Bunbaker. His flabby shiny lips put me off.
My not so secret fantasy is not everyone elses cup of tea. Allow me to introduce Adrian Chiles.

I'll close the door on my way out.

YABU. He is the worst of mum totty. A bit feminine, a bit fake, crap popstar hair. The kind of look a 12-year-old would 'fancy'.

Yes but hasnt <whispers> Adrian Chiles got big flabby shiny lips aswell ripi ?

Make your mind up woman - you either like sloppy gobs or you dont

Euurgh, no!

I saw him on I think Graham Norton the other day and was thinking how unattractive he is.

He looks like a plastic person, a cyborg. Or Physicist/Popstar Ken doll [you know, like the Barbie who can rearrange her everyday clothes and she turns into a popstar].

He also is dull and smug looking.

And I bet he's had a bit of botox with his shiny tight face. Oh and some lip plumpers as well. And probably spends an eternity in front of the mirror blowdrying his 'casual look' style and polishing his teeth.

I know he looks like he is constructed entirely from shiney plastic but he is clever/funny (when he does Shaun Keaveny on 6Music he is funny)/enthusiastic about his subject which combine to make him very sexeh.

But then I have always been attracted to personality over looks. I have found myself attracted to Omid Djalili after he made me LOL through the borefest that was Splash! Give me Omid over Tom Daly any day. I bet Tom will be gutted to read this.

Not sure about the rest tbh but I do find him incredibly interesting and I love intelligence in a man. I find his voice very soothing and as a result have learnt lots by watching his programmes. He seems very knowledgeable about a lot if stuff so amazed anyone could find him boring!

He's yukky, almost womanly....

He would never make it anywhere near my crisps never mind my bed!

Just repulsive.

Can we stop talking about it now ;)

oookaaay.

So I watched Wonders of life last night and i must say I've done a bit of a turnaround!!!!

He's definitely growing on me. that permanent pasted on smile is annoying but he's quite engaging and I'm seeing a bit of cuteness there.

nice figure.....aaaarrrggghhhh! you've converted me, OP

Yabu get off me man!

Oh no no no - he's awful! Not my cup of tea at all - far to feminine - those lips and teeth are repulsive! Can even listen to his voice or watch him on the telly - have to switch over!

I like a manly man

Having said that, I'm sure he's lovely!

I like feminine men (and manly men, I'm not fussy really). Professor Cox ( or Mr.Gia, as he should be referred to on here) came to my attention just before Christmas when I accompanied someone to a live recording of 'the infinite monkey cage. He is clever, attractive and and funny!
What's not to like? though the fact he used to be in D-Ream has put me off slightly

I wouldn't say absolutely gorgeous, but I do fancy him.

Intelligence is sexy and I do like a bit of physics.

So, yanbu

I'd have a go on him.

The was another BC thread recently. His wife came on it and posted this

As a heterosexual male I have no views to offer on the fanciability of the good Professor.

With his prominent teeth and hushed delivery I am beginning to think he is the love child of whispering Bob Harris.

Definitely not!

His waxen skin, his creepy perma smile, his lego hair, his serial killer whisperiness.

Also, I love how he's put forward as the spokesmodel for Intelligent Men, as if it's just a tiny club comprising of him Stephen Hawking and Noam Chomsky.

YANBU. He is yummy.

i think hes great, but when he is speaking... he takes huge leaps from one concept and throws in another... and i wanna say... 'hang on/what was that?' [head exploding icon]

ps i saw a photo of him with long hair, when he supported EUROPE on tour!

Laugh... even tena lady couldnt cope!

i think at the time... i had a hairdo somewhat similar!

I would

Badtempered, is that Brian Cox or Jennifer Rush?

Pictures aside, I so would (if I weren't happily married)

Badtempered, that's fab! He looks so pretty. I really try hard to follow his program but fall asleep without fail every Sunday. He could read me a bedtime story.

I am a prat. So there I am in Manchester today, on the university campus and I think gosh this bloke next to me looks just like prof. Cox, but it can't possibly be him.

Then I get home and check my twitter feed, and he's tweeting about being back I'm manchester and it being bloody cold.

Sorry, I mean who would bonk HIM not her.....

You have myb deepest sympathies.

What annoys me is the whole CERN thing revolving around him when he was only part of the team. Peter Higgs theory led to the whole thing.....anyone got the wonders of the universe? Listen to him talking about the summer and winter solstices. Was I so tired I misheard, but, in my world, the summer solstice is June 21st and is the LONGEST day, not the shortest, and the winter solstice is the shortest day in December and not the longest.

Stupid mistakes and someone at the bbc should really have picked it up but clearly he doesnt know the difference himself.....

Wonder how many millions he has now!!

Dude looks like a laaady

Just a point you may want to consider, his wife is absolutely wonderful. She's a member. She reads here. They are real people with feelings. I wonder how many of you would like to read this kind of thing about either yourself or your spouse?

Please don't give that tired old bollocks of 'they are in the public eye' because, quite frankly it's dull and does not answer the argument and some of you have been quite awful.

Also, days do not really change the length of time they have, the amount of daylight changes. So it isn't the longest day, it's the longest daylight hours. If you're going to be a pendant do it properly. A day is a fixed unit of time defined by human beings.

BitSickOfPeopleDoingThisKindOfThingTiggaxx

Yes, it was great when his wife came onto a thread a while ago.

I love him but I had a dream where I was hanging curtains with him, and now every time I see him it reminds me.

<pokes head round door of thread>

<blushes>

<leaves>

Oh. And what Tigga said. Really folks, his wife is a MNetter. She has to see and read this kind of crap every day.

I know I was a prat on my other thread, but I was just a prat and I wasn't being rude or nasty about MrGia personally.

Hey Freddie, how's it going.

LovingTheMrGiaBitThereTiggaxx

Good thanks Tigga I just don't understand Twitter

How's you?

I still think he should be called MrGia not Professor Brian Cox

That thread is going to follow me around for ever and ever

Oh and he may be a Prof but he was as bad at hanging curtains as i was.

Just so you all know, we seem to have zombie thread reviver with a partic interest in Prof B C, lots bumped last night.

Yes Freddie, yes it is.

GottaGoFeedTheCubTiggaxx

Hear hear, Tigga.

Gia came on that thread and said how it's not nice to read stuff like this.

Substance over form I say...

methinks the zombie thread resurrector is a failed astro-physicist (or whatever Coxy is) and has ishoos.

Quite nasty comments about Gia, she is a member and last time I checked personal attacks are against guidelines.

How is D:Ream cool?! Ahahaha

OP, are you in fact Brian Cox?
