This is news?

Edinburgh has a sexy station announcer.
I'm now picturing a certain French-speaking medievalist of my acquaintance giving route announcements for CityRail. I think if he doesn't get his next research grant I'll recommend it ;) It'd make a nice change from the perpetually surprised-sounding woman on the Newcastle line. ('This train goes to... SYDNEY TERMINAL?' No really, why aren't I surprised? EVERY train on that line goes to either Gosford or Sydney...)
Oh, and the Scottish newsreporter's voice isn't so unsexy either...

Plus his voice makes people go weak at the knees.

You and the rest of the known universe :)

It doesn't help that he's so lovely, either.

I wasn't thinking of me, actually...

He IS lovely. Is this a public post?

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

yes.

I don't THINK he reads this anymore, though...

Well, as the only person here who has already surrendered her dignity by publically admitting to fancying an entire department, allow me to chime in with my agreement to all praise bestowed thus far.

Yes, fancying an entire academic department is dignity-destroying...
