Between us, Maggie, we could boast: angelology. axiology, campanology, codicology, escapology, hymnology., theology, and martyrology.

My speciality would be martyrology, yours would be angelology. And Errol?

Escapology. Always running away up that mountain. Remember that sheep in NZ that hadn't been sheared fro 20 years. That was Errol :-D

Found the song:
On yonder hill there stands a creature,
Who she is I do not know.
I'll go and court her for her beauty;
She must answer Yes or No.
O No John! No John! No John! No!

My father was a Spanish captain -
Went to sea a month ago,
First he kissed me, then he left me -
Bid me always answer No.
O No John! No John! No John! No!

O Madam in your face is beauty,
On your lips red roses grow,
Will you take me for your lover?
Madam, answer Yes or No.
O No John! No John! No John! No!

O Madam since you are so cruel,
And that you do scorn me so,
If I may not be your lover,
Madam, will you let me go?
O No John! No John! No John! No!

O hark! I hear the church bells ringing,
Will you come to be my wife?
Or dear Madam, have you settled
To live single all your life?
O No John! No John! No John! No!


Hmmm, a lot can be read into that, that I wouldn't have noticed aged 8!!

Noooo John, No John, no John no. (That's from a song I once knew)
I have no wish to be the 'iest' of anything. I'm also proud not to have an 'ology'

maggiewinchester Report 28 Oct 2012 01:35

.......but they're all 'ologies'....
I don't believe in angels
ethics I'm strong on - but not as an 'ology'
never tried bell ringing
codicology - interesting but I don't know the right languages
I can duck and dive - don't need an 'ology' in that
hymnology - not interested
theology - as above - but religion is interesting.
martyrology - too much effort required

Maggie My vote actually went to Errol. But nobody takes any notice of me.

Would your private award be for the loveliest person on this planet? :-D :-D

Maggie Remember it well. My grandma used to say these lines to me:

Madam in your face is beauty,
In your bosom flowers grow
In your bedroom there is pleasure,
Shall I view it, yes or no
Oh no John, No John, No John, No!

Madam shall I tie your garter,
Tie it a little above your knee
If my hand should slip a little farther,
Would you think it amiss of me
Oh no John, No John, No John, No!

My love and I went to bed together,
There we lay till cocks did crow;
Unclose your arms my dearest jewel,
Unclose your arms and let me go
Oh no John, No John, No John, No!

And grandma also said "Never love for money, but always love where money is". That advice has always been valuable. :-D
