I've never heard of Professor Green.

Does he have a dodgy lip job along with Professor Cox?

Soaccidentprone, are you working up to tell me that actually, in fact, in all honesty, Doc-doc-doc-doc Doctor Beat [won't you help me Doctor Beat] is in reality, not a doctor at all?

freddiemisagreatshag · 12/02/2013 19:54

Blush Now I am just pure affronted at my thickness.

WHO Mrs Rajesh are you referring to? Dr Fox or my DH. Offence is taken [hoists bra straps and sniffs vehemently]

I have no idea, I haven't looked at DH's lips in yonks. (Since his hair was stolen)

MrsRajeshKoothrappali · 12/02/2013 19:56

I was asking about Professor Green. Still don't know who he is.

Professor Cox may have had a lip job - possibly from the same surgeon Pete Burns uses.

Not talking about your DH, you can put your tits back down.

Is Professor Plum a real academic?

TunipTheVegedude · 12/02/2013 20:00

Punch and Judy men are traditionally called Professor.
Perhaps science communication is his second foray into the entertainment industry.

I can't stand up I have a uti/kidney infection I think. It hurts to laugh. Could you lot please stop it. At once. Forthwith. Grin

I think Professor Green may be the bloke who lives in Cluedo.

No, that's Professor Plum actually.

No idea at all.

Check this out, it's hilarious. Will make you giggle at Brian Cox...

MechanicalTheatre · 12/02/2013 20:04

OP, I still don't really understand what you thought.

Did you think they just called him Professor Brian Cox...I dunno, for a joke? As a nickname? Why?

Enquiring minds need to laugh know.

linspins · 12/02/2013 20:05

hmmm, try again.

linspins · 12/02/2013 20:05

Ok, link doesn't like me!!
Look at "wonders of the stoner system" on youtube.

freddiemisagreatshag · 12/02/2013 20:06

I didn't realise there was another Brian Cox. I didn't know why they always said "professor" and didn't just call him Brian Cox I thought he was a pretentious fucker, like someone who always has to be called Sir someone

I am that thick. Blush

Professor Cox is a professor due to his work on the hadron collider.

He was also in D:ream.

Weirdly I'm not a fan.

freddiemisagreatshag · 12/02/2013 20:09

I feel a n/c coming on Blush

OP posts:
MechanicalTheatre · 12/02/2013 20:10

But did you think he wasn't actually a professor?

TunipTheVegedude · 12/02/2013 20:10

OMG he's 44 Shock

I thought he was about 31.

freddiemisagreatshag · 12/02/2013 20:11

I don't really know I just thought he was so up himself he wanted to be called professor all the time.

God I hope his wife isn't on here.

MySpecialistSubjectIsMN. I read that as HARDON collider Grin

Panzee · 12/02/2013 20:12

Dr Fox is not a fox, no.

cakesonatrain · 12/02/2013 20:12

Professor Brian Cox is not an astronomer/astrophysicist. He's a particle physicist.

And he has a funny face!

SavoyCabbage · 12/02/2013 20:13

I have seen the Professor Green chap on Blue Peter. I think he was a rapper.

AmelieRose · 12/02/2013 20:13

Professor Green is a rapper. Or he thinks he is. He started off doing comedy type rapping but now he's gone all serious.

He's going out with a lovely looking laydee who is in 'Made in Chelsea'. Much made in Heat etc not that I read it of course of them being mismatched as she's so fancy dan and he's from east London.

I don't watch MIC of course much
