Johnny Galecki

The release of The Big Bang Theory: Season 2 on DVD has had us all talking in the office about who our favourite geek is. We’re torn... Adam Brody?  Michael Cera? Johnny Galecki? The boys from the InBetweeners? There are too many options...

Who knew that comic books + skateboarding + computer games = hot specimen? No. Neither did we. But, it seems that men of the dorky persuasion are sending us into a flutter.

So where to find such a geek I hear you cry. Well, fret not. After some intensive research I have put together a guide of the UK’s best geek hot spots so that your search for the ultimate smart and thoughtful man can finally come to an end.
