I am currently swooning a little over Brian Cox (the professor, not the actor - that might be a bit weird as he might be old enough to be my granddad? although that said.. Harrison Ford...anyway...) and the OH is harrumphing.. the only reason I think he is letting it go is that this way he gets to watch science type things rather than a programme about "celebrities" "working" in a "spa"

If I had a Brian Cox I would call him fluffy :D

YABU to fancy that floppy haired unattractive cox and YABU to call a grown man 'fluffy'.

CocacolaMum · 18/09/2013 21:46

No,totally reasonable!

He is scrumptious.

I love Cox!

throwinshapes · 18/09/2013 21:51

Ugh. It's those lips. He oozes greasiness.
(And I love a man with a scientific brain)

ohmymimi · 18/09/2013 21:53

Sorry, but wedding balls is right about 'fluffy'. However, I find his brilliance soooooooooooooooooo attractive. When he explained the Higgs Boson Particle in terms I could understand, I fell a little bit in love.

SaucyJack · 18/09/2013 21:54

Yuck. He reminds me a bit of Johnny Depp's Willy Wonka. And that's not good.

OTTMummA · 18/09/2013 22:56

Eewww!
You're welcome to mr floppy haired namby pamby.
I've sent DH to bed so I can watch the manly Leiv Shreiber as Ray Donovan.
It's wrong, really wrong but He very much appeals to my inner cave woman.

MogTheForgetfulCat · 18/09/2013 22:58

He has weirdly shiny cheeks. Not good. Programme was v interesting though Smile

Jellybeanz1 · 18/09/2013 23:08

OMG he's my virtual husband! get your mitz off. My dh even jokes along with my dc about my ecstasy when hes on the box. Gone off him a bit this year as he's everywhere and a little too much schmaltzy eye rolling. Before that I had a crush on Michael Wood and Paul Newman (the young version). Intellectuals do it everytime for me. Blush I wonder who'll appeal next?

YABVU

He gives me the creeps. The shiny skin, the lady lips, the serial killer smile, the feathery monotone voice.

squoosh · 18/09/2013 23:12

Plus I hate the way people act as though he bloody invented physics.

squoosh · 18/09/2013 23:14

Paul Newman an intellectual? Confused

Elsiequadrille · 18/09/2013 23:19

I was going to say no, then I read it was Brian Cox.

Yabvu

AlpacaPicnic · 18/09/2013 23:29

I luff me some Brian Cox... YABVU but only cos I am jealous that you are watching him and I am not!

Nerfmother · 18/09/2013 23:30

Didn't mrs Brian cox pitch up here once? Careful op.

Jellybeanz1 · 18/09/2013 23:56

Squoosh Grin dramatically intelligent, one of those new intelligences - arf.

Jellybeanz1 · 19/09/2013 00:00

OOh and Ben Fogal caring, intelligent alpha male.Wink[horny]

StuntGirl · 19/09/2013 00:01

Plus I hate the way people act as though he bloody invented physics.

Right there with ya.

The man is a slimy weirdo. Can't stand that fake plastic smile. Ugh.

FetchezLaVache · 19/09/2013 00:03

Gosh, he doesn't inspire indifference, does he? One either loves or is repulsed by the mop top from Oldham! The marmite of particle physics.

YABU- I find him androgynous and not in a good way.

Sophita · 19/09/2013 03:21

A little present for all you scientifically minded ladies / fans of charming geek types Wink ...

Catsize · 19/09/2013 03:23

Our nextdoor neighbour is very similar but has less hair. Want our address?

Blont · 19/09/2013 04:13

Brian Cox? Just Vernon Kay with a brain. And was involved in the production and propagation of one of the worst songs of all time.

Harrumph.

SPAAAAACE IS AMAAAAAZIN

LOOK AT ALLLL THEM PLANNITS

Jeremiad · 19/09/2013 04:16

YABVVU

He's got moobs fer chrissakes.

And a horrible whiny voice. The boy-men don't do it for me.

PariahHairy · 19/09/2013 04:28

YABU, Harrison Ford as a young man tho you are so not being unreasonable

PariahHairy · 19/09/2013 04:29

Brian Cox makes me cringe and shudder.
