They look like a real boffin.

You know, like any of the great scientists. Einstein or that bloke off of 'Back To The Future.'


The one exception is Q in James Bond but of course he is a spy boffin so has to be in disguise.

Ah right, I was thinking about puffins, the stripy-beaked bastards.

That 'look' was started by Einstein when he arrived in America. His appearance became increasingly eccentric as time went on: possibly to live up to the general public's image of a genius.

Only kidding Geoff - I bet you were the best looking guy on the 'Manor'. :) And would look great behind the wheel of a Ford Zephyr.

Never had a Zephyr. Had a PA Velox though, the one with the big tailfins. That was a cool motor.

Nah. Getting more laid back as I get older. I've not even sharpened my axe recently. :D

I find myself building a mental picture of AoS members, if I've never met them, and I had imagined you to have the look and demeanour of an older version of Brad Pitt in 'Twelve Monkeys'.

"Colonics for everyone!"

So I'm half right :)

I can't stand that 'Eggheads'. They are so smug looking (especially Daphne can she actually see through that squint?) and although I've only seen a few, I've never seen them lose. I reckon the show's questions are weighted in their favour.

There is one woman I used to see on there though (probably still on it) whom I definitely would - a proper gilf. I would have her recite the period table just so I'd last a bit longer.

When I see them sat there in a row, I imagine them as ducks at a fairground shooting gallery. Now that would be entertaining.

I prefer 'Celebrity Mastermind', I can usually beat them. God they're a thick bunch.
