Neil Oliver Appreciation
After watching Neil Oliver of the lovely locks (archaeologist, presenter and journalist) for quite some time have suddenly taken more notice of HIM than his hunters and gatherers, neolithic farmers etc I think he's sexy - and also a bit comical: the way he projects his wild Scots persona and manliness trudging over the hills - I could imagine Dawn French taking him off....
Not sure if this should be under General Discussion |

Can't stand him.
Does remind me of Desmond from Lost though. |

Burnistoun have done a few sketches that might just be based on Neil.

I must admit I find him quite annoying. The hair is not necessary.

Well there's a fine Scotsman then I suppose he IS a bit of a poseur little sweety - wonder what shampoo he uses? Still if it gets people interested in ancient history....... Sorry - has been a bit of a boring afternoon.  I think the article below is a mickey take or perhaps not :http://www.newsbiscuit.com/2010/01/1...illion-pounds/ |

He's annoying, and part of me always suspects he hates anyone English but he is still easier on the eye than the otherwise ubiquitous Tony Robinson. And also better qualified to pontificate on things historical, I suspect.

I like Neil Oliver (though not in a fanciable way) and was delighted to see him captaining the team of my alma mater, Glasgow University, on celebrity University Challenge. I never knew he was a fellow graduate.

I often sit behind him on the train, I like to sniff him. He smells like the Molton Brown shop.

I think he is great - and sexy for sure. He is a very contented man, loves his wife, children and the lifestyle he has - researching, writing, presenting.

He comes up here a lot to record for tv. He point blank refuses to tie his hair back though! He is his hair apparently
I can't say I pure hate the bloke, I just don't like him that much  One show did bring a lot of tourism here though, so I have to give him points for that. I went to the same primary school as him (what a vague claim to fame that is )
