Yeah that's true, but I didn't think they'd stand a chance against Moss and Sheldon.

Tim Bisley

Who?

Our most favourite TV geek?

Who?

Off of Spaced!

Yeah. Comedy one.

I can't remember no geek in that! :S

Ohhh.

Mine is probably Tim Bisley then.

Followed by Howard Moon.

And then Moss. :)

That's the whole POINT of Spaced!
That it's about two geeky, awkward twats who find their soulmate in each other. :)

For me, Leonard's probably better than Sheldon.

Of course, Wolowitz is also superb. And Rajesh isn't too bad either.

I had to Google it. :)

Oh God. Laughing out loud

Yeah but I'm actually a fan of Spaced!
I just can't remember a geek!

Followed by Howard Moon.

He's not really a geek, is he? He's just "uncool" by Vince's standards. No?

He obsesses over things!
He loves Star Wars and the X Files!
He draws comics!

I think we're going more along science/nerdy lines in terms of 'geek' definition, whilst zooo's thinking more general 'obsessive'. Something like that.

Oh you mean Simon Pegg's character! Poops yeah, he is a geek isn't he!

Howard is socially awkward, weird and obsesses over stuff. To me that's a geek.

I think this is another thread where we're all going to disagree over what geek means...

Haha, you didn't realise it was Pegg? :D
