I have just realised why they call him PROFESSOR Brian Cox

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

GiaGia thanks for being in the thread, and a bloody good sport. When will he be back on campus and does he for open lectures? I'd definitely attend! (Doesn't study physics, but does study history and proudly totes a purple bag with his name on it, available from the library for a mere £3!)

Don't know if GiaGia is still about, but if you are, have you seen I fucking Love Science on Facebooks valentines post - great drawing of Mr GiaGia in amongst some of the other scientists with a valentines message!

trills that is brilliant! About Sunshine.

lljk my DH is a professor (just qualified last week proud). He is 45. I work at a university and know of several professors younger than him.

PhD's etc. tend to take fewer years for scientists (3 rather than 4-5 for "literary" subjects.)

Congrats to MrJamais!

Hello. We're going to move this thread to Science and Nature Club at TheDoctrineOfSciAndNatureClub's the OP's request.

I am verey pleased that there is a Science and Nature Club, and that Gia is now an early contributor.

Oh my goodness. This thread is going to haunt me hang around forever like a bad smell

Freddie

you are infamous (and a good sport despite some mild ribbing)

have a glass of

perhaps this will become common useage a 'freddieism'

well it was harmless and not meant maliciously and yes, I am thick and not a Professor

I'd like to see Gia on for a webchat

Being moved to Science&Nature is so much classier than mere Classics

Well, obviously Grimma, mere Classics is so passe and last year.

Good thread move freddie Glad to see it alive, well and it would seem immortal .

I have had to demote myself. The expectation was too great and someone called me professor on another thread and it didn't seem right.

Thanks for being a sport Freddie

Gee thanks

Have some ex-presidential from me too freddie. It's a very entertaining thread.

Gia, do please come on MN for a webchat.

I think Gia was actually the better sport.

thedoctrine - ahh thanks!

"a melon doesn't bounce"

PMSL literally

Did you spot the stormtrooper at the side of the road, Freddie?

Brian cox is not called PROFESSOR Brian cox becuase there is another brian cox. he is called Prof. Brian cox because he has a Phd in high-energy particle physics at the University of Manchester
