I just cannot listen to his voice. I've just had to ask DH to change the channel because I was getting all irritated.

Am I alone?

No you are completely NOT alone! I spent ages last night trying to explain to DH how creepy I find him! Dh was not very impressed, he thinks Prof Cox is wonderful. Blech.

His voice is weird, his skin is too smooth... And women think he's some kind of sex symbol. It's very odd.

I think he's interesting and knowledgeable, but very wet and Frank Spencery.

I read an article once written by his wife about what it was like living with a man and knowing other women would be all over him given half a chance. I found it really interesting, although I am unlikely to ever be in that position. Wink

I love his programmes, very interesting and he is pretty inoffensive and easy on the eye.

I can listen to him on the radio and not be annoyed, but I can't watch him on the telly.

I imagine he'd be a feathery stroker (apologies to Mrs Cox).

Am watching now...I think it's the lips. And the stupid pudding-bowl haircut. And the grubby polo shirt. David Attenborough he ain't. (I have been in love with DA for aeons).
