Do you have an ology? - Veggie - 14-03-2021

There are so many knowledgeable people on here that I'm feeling a bit left out. Wink

Then I remembered the BT ad from many years ago - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NK5-2fPyCjA

So I'd like to warn people that I'm likely to make an ology comment whenever I feel its warranted. Wink

. No offence intended - maybe a tinge of jealousy though. Rolleyes

.

So, my question is - do you have an Ology that you'd care to tell us about? Cool

Don't be shy! Remember, this is the Nutty thread where we try not to be too serious.. Big Grin

No ologies here Big Grin

. I couldn’t be ar$ed with higher education Big Grin

.

All I have is degrees of some sort in animal management & floristry

That'll be a Zooology and a florology then, SC. Wink

I have a B.Sc. in zoology Big Grin

This is one of the reasons I'm keen on encouraging diversity in my garden, from deliberate additions such as mason bees, to feeding wild birds and hedgehogs, and setting up micro-habitats for spiders, etc. I was at uni with wildlife presenter Nigel Marvin, but also comedian Chris Morris (of Brass Eye & The IT Crowd fame), which may explain my sense of humour!

Oddly, given this forum's focus, I managed to dodge any botany courses (I did biochemistry instead) - it wasn't until I discovered a passion for edibles that my black thumbs turned green!

Another ology in Zoos!!
Sorry to say I've never heard of Nigel Marvin or Chris Morris though - probably best not to explain as I don't watch TV much.

florology Sounds like something unpleasant you can contract Big Grin

. So pretty close to how I felt about being a florist Wink

(Hated every second of it! It’s taken me a good 25+ years to forgive flowers! I’m slowly starting to like & appreciate them again ).

You did zoology and biochemistry?? My son did biochemistry at Exeter.

I did fashion and Designology?? Big Grin

I also dis a few years of by floristry part time in the evenings when the boys were babies.

SC, how can you not like it?? It made for easy wired sugar flowers for my cakes.

What I want to be is a dahliologist. All my last dahlia cuttings died. I will try again tomorrow Big Grin

Hated the one day a week training at college with lot of girlies more concerned with how they looked or who they were see with. You know what I mean. Nothing enjoyable about dealing with those ordering funeral flowers. Nothing enjoyable about dealing with incredibly over fussy brides!!! Not much fun ( after you’ve got bored of taking the pi$$ out of the first dozen) young men ordering valentines flowers. Christmas & Mother’s Day just ridiculous busy.
apart from that it wasn’t to bad Wink

RE: Do you have an ology? - PyreneesPlot - 14-03-2021

I have a combo ology in digging up old stuff and maps.
I wanted to be a farmer but was told girls didn't do agriculture Huh

especially when it wasn't in their background. But then I was also told that there was no point applying for uni either!

RE: Do you have an ology? - Veggie - 14-03-2021

My ology is so boring that my brother said it would make a glass eye fall asleep.
