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.

No, HolidayArmadillo, EVERYONE calls him Professor Brian Cox all the time.

He INSISTS on it.

Once, his small child called him "Daddy" and he hit.the.roof.

Bwahahaaaaaaa. Splutter. Snort.

And he still does hold a professorship at Manchester University.

Apart from them having different hair, he's a bit like Brian May really isn't he?

He's lost some weight since D:Ream

Mrs Professor Brian Cox you're not feeding him enough he needs some meat on those bones

Fuck did he work at CERN? :hangs head:

Prof Brian Cox is a real professor and possibly also a pretentious twat if as was said upthread he insists on his kids calling him that ^^ And he has icky teeth

t'Other Brian Cox - actor, not a professor

Dr Fox - not a Doctor, or a fox

Doctor Gillian McKeith - poo pervert

Brian May is tory scum though, isn't he?

And I'm pretty sure PBC is a lefty.

Fuck did he work at CERN? :hangs head:

He still does I think, freddie

I am a prat. It's ok. I can admit it.

D'y'know, I was going to NC to ProfessorMavisGrind and insist that you all acknowledge my title in every posting - however after looking, I've realised I can't find how to namechange and have decided I probably therefore don't have the brains for the title.

That's not Brian Cox in that photo, that's the singer.

plus he does \link{http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/timc\the Infinite Monkey Cage} on R4

mind you that is very hard work to listen to

Is it really that pretentious to use your proper title if you're in the media? Like, to prove to the TV viewers that you do know a little bit about what you're talking about. Doesn't Professor Robert Winston use his title?

Well Susie that's just not the same thing at all

Blimey if it's keyboards, he's at the back there wearing a vest the type of which should not been seen outside of the Blue Ridge Mountains. I will not type the phrase. I am DiSaPpOiNtEd.

If he thought he could get away with it as all the attention would be on the One Suit Wonder, he better think again.

Yes, realised that after I posted.

Worth it just for sighting of a genuine 90s suit though.

Prof Cox is at the back, on his diddy piano.

:)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, this is to good not to share with Gia

BestLaughI'veHadAllDayTiggaxx

I don't think it's pretentious at all.
If I'd been in a band with the One Suit Wonder, wearing That Vest, I might be inclined to ensure my credentials were on show at every opportunity. Up Yours, World.

Ha ha! Have worked it out....

I feel sort of brainy now (but obviously can't spell)

Coxy is on in the stripey suit with the long hair right at the beginning on his keyboardy piano thing.

God we've missed most of the football. Isn't that great?

Linerunner is right. That's Pete - he once bought me a pint of cider. Yum.

Can you all stop dissing the original Brian Cox? he is a fabulous actor and IMHO a much better Hannibal Lector than Anthony FFFFFF Hopkins

Prof Brian Cox gives me the heebie geebies

Oh god, this is hilarious!
