I have just realised why they call him PROFESSOR Brian Cox

[freddiemisagreatshag]

Yes I am that thick. There's another one and he's old and doesn't play keyboards.

Oh fuck Olivia's here

TBH I've met loads of famous people and the only person I ever got fangirl gushy about was David Attenborough, I think I actually told him I wished he was my dad! IME if famous peeps appear nice they usually are nice.

olgaga it's a great film - bit dated and 80s looking now but still good

no shame, freddie!

Gia, please do read the Ronson thread. it's really not that unkind. heston's response was seriously OTT

OLIVIA! I did not bring Gia over here so you could pimp her for Mr Gia.

Gia should do a web chat.

Really freddie. Is that hole not that roomy enough?

Started posting a whole arts vs sciences shit thing but was too dull

I'd get gushy over David Attenborough too.

He films baby turtles running towards the sea..!

Squeeee!!

Olivia you should have Gia on with for a web chat with a ban on asking questions about Mr Gia as she's much more interesting.

LineRunner, even if it's all good, it's still WEIRD.

What Frilly said! :)

This is mega. I just want to point out that I studied physics at Manchester before it was cool. So there.

I agree with Tigga. Or if that professor person is allowed on for a webchat he has to be Mr Gia

Just doing my job, though.

GiaGia - Mumsnet would like to cordially invite MrGia on to MN for a webchat.

If you think this is something he would be interested in, could you perhaps ask
his people to get in touch with our people, er, remembers we don't have people us? [email protected]

Thanks ever so much.

They don't call him Professor to differentiate him.

They call him Professor to emphasise "he is clever and you should pay attention" when he is on educational shows.

They would do it even if there was not another one.

That's right Olivia, strike while the Fe iron's hot .

And once again....the wife is approached to get to the perceived important husband....

gia - stick around though MN is A Good Place!

So, professor Green isn't a professor?

bit slow

Olivia I'll ask (he's away filming right now).

I for one would welcome a web chat from Gia herself, rather than bypassing her to get to her husband.

I'd rather have Mary Beard than Mr Gia tbh.

And it's probably not even his choice.

That's if he can face us lot after reading all about himself on here , then freddie can ask the man himself if he knew there was another Brian Cox!

Trills - I get that now I was being a bit dim. I am not, obviously, a Professor

I don't think Mary Beard vs Bran Cox is an either/or choice. Are clever people rationed or something? They are quite different.
