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.

How do I twitter? I have got an account but I have no idea what to do

if we're doing webchat requests can I have Nathan Fillion please? And also, there should be a webchat. He's funny and in Castle if you need a reason.

I mean I just got an account and I don't know what to do. Other than make a twit of myself which I have done quite comprehensibly this evening

Love this thread !!!

fierce actual lol @ rita oras sister kia !!
gia I love your DH i saw him on johnathan Ross the other week that experiment was hilarious !! My DH calls him "your [my] man dr cox"

This is a brill thread. I didn't know there were two Brian Cox either

Actually there are loads and loads of them.

And there are loads of assorted Coxes
Captain Coxes
Major Coxes,
Reverend Coxes,
Lord Coxes

It's to differentiate him from my FIL, who is Dr. Brian Cox.

Oh fuck there's more of them??

Giagia thank you for replying, yes yes, it was years ago
Am off now to peruse your tweets- just as soon as I've settled this pesky baby....

Gosh!

Lots of Cox.

Freddie
thank you so much for this thread. It is utterly brilliant.

Olivia / Gia
Could we have Gia on for a webchat? I read her article a while back (about being 'Mrs Cox') and thought she sounded very interesting.

@FrillyMilly

I think it's quite unmumsnet to ask Gia to ask her husband to do a webchat especially when she is clearly a successful woman in her own right. I'm assuming MNHQ did not read the invisible wife article linked to up thread?

Apologies.
I had not at the point read the Graun piece and apologise for being opportunist.
I was directed to the thread by someone who had nominated it for Classics and I speed read it.
It is NEVER my intention to offend a MNer

HTH

Well Don'teventhinkabout doing a Dave Gorman and visiting all the Brian Coxes then Mr Gia, could take a long time, hope he's ex directory otherwise he could get a gaggle of MNeters on his doorstep soon.

Well I am off to bed you lot and to change my name

and

And Gia - thank you for not being offended and feeding me my guts and don't worry, I know who he is now. He's not Professor Brian Cox, he's Mr Gia

Best thread in a long while - thanks Freddie, Gia and all :o

It's mostly why I am cross Olivia!

ThisThreadDeservesClassicsTiggaxx

Don't be too cross at Olivia, DawnTigga. She is not well and should be elsewhere. And I did see a request a few days ago asking for Prof Cox to do a webchat.

I'd like Olivia to do a webchat one day.

Aw Olivia did apologise, and there is another thread in site stuff now.

We'd all love Gia to do a chat too - but if you skim read this one it was pretty light hearted and about prof cox and I can see why she said it.

If I have another dream about hanging curtains with Prof Brian Cox I will blame this thread.

OliviaMN. I'm joining the band that thinks you slipped up on this one.

BUT you redeemed yourself by not only recognising the slip but apologising.

Gia there's a lot of cognitive dissonance in the world (re the strange love of strangers for your Doctor Cox) as I have learned from some very interesting threads on MN.

I hope you do come here again and maybe do a webchat about being a physicist.

I will never ever live this down will I?

Seconds LineRunners call for a webchat with Gia

SusieSusieSheep - me too!
I did my PhD based at Jodrell Bank. I love seeing the place on the telly when they do Stargazing Live :)

Is Dr. Dre an actual Doctor?

I had a mouse called Dr Squeak - she wasn't a real Dr, but she did plan to take over the world.
