chickencam Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I thought he was attractive too, but I bet he was a geeky teased adolescent though, he has that look about him. and for those of us with geeky teased adolescents of our own he is a ray of hope I must say he does give me hope for my son, who is a good looking intelligent lad, but a bit of a geek and lacking in self confidence.

bluekarin Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 He's brilliant! My two fave programmes on a Sunday night with him and Simon Reeve (who I was going to suggest for my peoples person topic). I don't understand all of what is said - actually, I don't understand a lot of what's said, but I enjoy it none the less. I missed Sundays as the kids were on the Wii but I will watch it on the Iplayer soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I like the way that he makes a complex easy to understand and interesting for thickos like me. Can you tell that I failed Physics at school? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 He makes it really accessible, doesn't he? The daughters boyfriend is really into physics, and so clever, yet he is enjoying this show too. I reckon awards must be on the horizon. ...

A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 He makes it so exciting and accessible doesn't he? Oddly a lot of serious academics can't stand him. Jealous, I reckon. He's fabulous, as is his wife. She's a very cool geek in her own right. (Just don't mention D:Ream to him. He's so over that). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debbier Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Which reminds me ................How many people bought Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time" and never finished it? I never have, but one I found fascinating was "Quantum" by Manjit Kumar, and, inspired by that, I'm currently reading "QED" by Richard Feynman. I found the first a bit easier to digest! QED starts off ok, but soon gets a bit mind boggling. Still, it's not exactly an easy topic, I suppose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms Marple Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Just to make you swoon - I have met him several times - gorgeous guy!!! About 6 or 7 years back the University were working hard on their outreach programmes and I met him whilst sorting out placements for a couple of sixth form students two years running. I also got to go and visit the students whilst they worked with him on a research project for 6 weeks in the summer holidays. I think it was called the Nuffield Bursary Scheme. He was and clearly still is a really top guy. Very down to earth and keen to share his knowledge and inspire more people. Being a a lad from Oldham himself he liked the fact that our students were also from Oldham! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I watched it on iplayer so that I could forward through the Wossy bits. Prof Cox is at about 25 minutes through the programme and it is really funny. Minor swearing alert though if you decide to watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbier Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Watched sunday's episode of The Solar System, and my hubby got all huffy when I mentioned I thought the presenter was attractive. I think it's the passion of these people: I find Jamie Oliver attractive for the same reason, and he's not my type at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluffyfeet Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 There is definitely some nice "telly-totty" out there at the moment for us ladies isn't there. I was drooling over Richard Hammond again last night - and I bet I wasn't the only one... I thnk George Clarke - the Restoration Man, is rather lovely too - anyone else think he's yummy?
