Am I the only one who cannot watch Sir Brian Cox because he is creepy?

I just cannot listen to his voice. I've just had to ask DH to change the channel because I was getting all irritated.

Am I alone?

You mean professor Brian Cox?

UnrequitedSkink · 24/02/2013 21:17

No you are completely NOT alone! I spent ages last night trying to explain to DH how creepy I find him! Dh was not very impressed, he thinks Prof Cox is wonderful. Blech.

UnrequitedSkink · 24/02/2013 21:18

His voice is weird, his skin is too smooth... And women think he's some kind of sex symbol. It's very odd.

peeriebear · 24/02/2013 21:18

I think he's interesting and knowledgeable, but very wet and Frank Spencery.

That's why I'm on the iPad - dh seems to think the sun shines out of his arse

MrsBucketxx · 24/02/2013 21:19

AngelWreakinHavoc · 24/02/2013 21:19

He's not creepy!! He's dishy! He seems like such a free spirit

emsibub · 24/02/2013 21:29

I definitely would!

UnrequitedSkink · 24/02/2013 21:29

I read an article once written by his wife about what it was like living with a man and knowing other women would be all over him given half a chance. I found it really interesting, although I am unlikely to ever be in that position. Wink

Trazzletoes · 24/02/2013 21:31

Heehee I thought you meant the "other" Brian Cox Grin now I find HIM creepy!

Cotapaxi · 24/02/2013 21:32

I can listen to him on the radio and not be annoyed, but I can't watch him on the telly.

I imagine he'd be a feathery stroker (apologies to Mrs Cox).

'Hi, it's me - Professor Briiiiiiiiian Cox. I'm just like you. . . . but a bit more science-y!' Sketch from V.I.P. - can't find link sorry.

But absolutely not taking the piss cos I fancy brainy geysers!

Am watching now...I think it's the lips. And the stupid pudding-bowl haircut. And the grubby polo shirt. David Attenborough he ain't. (I have been in love with DA for aeons).
