Dr. Fox Fun Fact

Dr. Fox
Bio: Dr. Fox (AKA Neil Fox) was a DJ for English radio station Capital FM before having to change his persona to 'Foxy' due to legal reasons after he gave unsolicited medical advice to a phone-in guest, diagnosing the caller with tonsurephobia; a fear of haircuts.

Mr. Fox now presents the More Music Breakfast Show on Magic while moonlighting as an MC for Hertfordshire University's monthly 3 for 2 Bacardi Brezzer Traffic Light Party Night.


A colleague started to moan to me about someone stealing her yogurt from the fridge or something. I told her I was busy but she kept going on and on, so I decided to send my co-workers a fun fact about Dr. Fox while she complained. After she left I was able to eat a yogurt that someone left in the fridge in peace.

DJ Dr Fox 

Former Capital FM Radio DJ Dr. Fox is a real doctor, gaining his Ed.D in Animal Behavior with his thesis on the mating behaviours of foxes in urban environments. 

The 35,000 word journal featured a chapter entitled “Fox and Badgers: the future guerrilla war on the streets of London” where he hypothesised that by 2020 the urban fox and badger population would reach such drastic levels that the two species would aggressively fight over territory. 

Dr. Fox even proposed this could put young children and the vulnerable at risk. This has been widely discredited by the animal behavior community however.

My neighbor has foxes come into his garden every night. They make this really awful screaming noise all the time and it keeps me up. One night my other neighbor shouted out of his window at them for over an hour. It didn't help.

Maybe your neighbor could get some badgers to kill them all?

Then there would have a badger problem. Are badgers noisy?

It depends on what they're doing. If they're murdering a skulk of foxes I'd imagine that would be quite noisy.

I have a number of mugs on my desk for some reason. Is it the one that says 'I like bumming tramps'?

It's the one with the cow on it.

No I don't have your 'I like bumming cows' mug on my desk. But there is one of a depressed looking cow standing in a field. It might be depressed because he's about to get bummed. I'm not sure though, I'm not an animal behavior expert. It might be quite upbeat about the whole bumming thing. Does that sound like your mug?

Sorry, I'm busy Googling 'how to read cow face expressions'.
