YABU he's lovely although his wife is much funnier and nearly worth changing sides for.

HmmmmProfCoxTiggaxx

Ooooh, handbags at dawn! Smile

suwoo · 09/04/2011 15:00

Who is his wife Tigga?

IslaValargeone · 09/04/2011 15:12

I thought I was the only person in the universe, (which incidentally is full of millions and billions and trillions of brilliant things) who thought he was odd.
I really don't get the sex symbol thing. He looks like someone who would want to unpleasant things in bed.

BringBackGoingForGold · 09/04/2011 16:14

Isla, Shock. I had never thought about that. But now ...

Bucharest · 09/04/2011 16:17

He looks like he might wear Y fronts.
Union Jack ones.

BringBackGoingForGold · 09/04/2011 17:21

God, more images! Bucharest, REALLY?! Poor you.

PS I agree, a Y-front wearer if ever I saw one.

Bucharest · 09/04/2011 17:27

It's a wonder I ever had sex again, I tell ya.
It was my first time too.
I later found out he and his brother shared 4 pairs. And they did that one-week-this-way, one-week-inside-out thing.
Readers, I fled.

BringBackGoingForGold · 09/04/2011 17:34

Fuck me, that's the most gruesome thing I've heard in a while.

Almost overshadows the horridness of Brian Cox. Almost.

Grin I had thought, prior to this traumatic experience that men and their pants was an urban myth. Sadly one I disproved.
BellaMagnificat · 09/04/2011 18:09

He went to my school.
I kissed him Grin

BringBackGoingForGold · 09/04/2011 18:14

Shock at Bella

LoveLeonardCohen · 09/04/2011 19:18

YA definately BU!!

dawntigga · 09/04/2011 19:56

Envy at Bella!

Gia Milinovich - I believe she lurks around here sometimes. I followed her on Twitter for ages then realised Prof Cox is married to her after I started following him as well.

I have just had a lesson in the dangers of reading a thread from the bottom up. I read Bucharest's posts and thought the sex-with-y-front-sharing-muppet story was about her shagging Coxy! Shock then Grin

lili2010 · 09/04/2011 22:13

Love the 13.54 comment pointing out that you have to be very intelligent to fancy Brian because he's very intelligent. Slapped wrists for inane banter on an internet forum! Didn't realise he was deemed the 'thinking women's crumpet'. It is evident I either don't think or like crumpets!

I started off thinking the prof's character might have sinister overtones. This thread has taken those thoughts to a different level. I'm off to bed for some nightmares involving the prof in union jack undies, massaging invisible breasts and smilingly scheming to take over the universe...

Creepy, yes. In an annoying way rather than in a sinister one. I can't stand his ladyboy simper. Don't understand the big deal about him being a sex god - so what, he's under 40 and has a PhD in Clever Stuff? Grin

wondersofthestonersystem · 10/04/2011 00:20
just had to share Wink

He looks as if he's about to ask you whether you've welcomed Jesus as your personal saviour.

EddiesTeddy · 10/04/2011 00:37

wondersofthesolarsystem that link was brilliant!!!!
I love the programme but never seem to stay awake through all of it.
His way of speaking always reminds me of sitting through church sermons but I kinda like his enthusiasm

EddiesTeddy · 10/04/2011 00:37

great minds think alike seeker Grin

seeker · 10/04/2011 00:41
Grin

But he is absolutely fab on the radio - he doesn;t seem to take himself quite so seriously there.

hissymissy · 10/04/2011 00:48

Ok, I get what people are saying about his inane grin. <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=www.thetwentyfirstfloor.com/main/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/cox500.jpg&imgrefurl=www.thetwentyfirstfloor.com/%3Fp%3D1464&h=437&w=500&sz=42&tbnid=QxEIc7427OIYtM:&tbnh=114&tbnw=130&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dprofessor%2Bbrian%2Bcox%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=professor+brian+cox&hl=en&usg=__6YayF_jxZvewH_0ffMIEzMRtyhY=&sa=X&ei=-OygTcWWN9KHhQeysaCSBQ&ved=0CFAQ9QEwBA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here

But to be fair, he is first and foremost a scientist, presenter second.

I find him strangely alluring and mesmerising. Even though I hate some of the theories he peddles, like the end of all of everything, including time, for all eternity (I am more a God-is-a-Physisist-and-will-save-us-all-in-the-end person). It is his voice, soft and gentle, hypnotising.

There was a bit in his programme where he was on the beach with a camp fire. Sigh! I'd LOVE to spend time with him on the beach by the fire, talking about the universe.

spiderslegs · 10/04/2011 01:07

Right - haven't read the thread - but - sinister.....????

The man is a science loving god......

My father is a a cosmologist as is BC...& I don't always agree with his theories, but please.....

He is a little physics loving fiend.....
