the Magpie song? :O)

Can't remember - it's been bugging me too!! I use to know it up to 10! x :-)

7 for a secret never to be told.

8 for a wish 9 for a kiss 10 for a dissappointment (I think) Chrissie x

I thought 10 was a bird you must not miss? Debby

Thought that 10 was 'something' ending in Bliss?

10 is a bird you must not miss....MAGPIE

yeay.... thanks guys! xx

Anybody know what 3 is? Just had a thought that it may be kiss?

I always thought it was this - but someone correct me if I'm wrong! 1 for sorrow 2 for Joy 3 for a Girl 4 for a Boy 5 for Silver 6 for Gold 7 for a Secret never to be told

Oh, of course Manda. It's because I was associating a kiss with boy LOL:)) Oh - and we did always say 10 for a dissappointment. Probably depends where you came from:))

I remember someone saying that 3 was for a letter, but that doesn't really go with the rest of the words! And I always thought the 10 was blah blah blah ending in bliss!?! x :-)

another version is..... One for sorrow, two for mirth, Three for a wedding, four for a birth, Five for silver, six for gold, Seven for a secret not to be told. Eight for heaven, nine for hell, And ten for the devil's own sel'.

Manda You must have been watching a different programme! Just googled it as you had me thinking I'd gone bonkers and it's definitely a bird you must not miss! There's bound to be loads of variations but that was the official Magpie theme song. Debby

Defo 8's a wish, 9's a kiss and 10 is a bird you must not miss. Chrissie - 3 for a girl. On the way back from the doctor's having had my final pregnancy confirmed, 3 magpies flew across in front of my car. Ellie is 12 next month! Btw my mum refuses to see just one magpie and always says out loud 'hello Mr Magpie, Mrs Magpie and all the little baby magpies' as she reckons they're just shy and hiding! Not a word Diana, or I'll tell Mummy you were mean! lol Daisy

If I see just one magpie then I always salute it to cancel out the sorrow!! Debby - I remember the program but don't think I watched it that much, if at all!! lol :-)

Manda you haven't lost the plot babe.... another version One for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl, for for a boy, five for silver, six for gold, seven for a secret, never to be told, eight for a wish, nine for a kiss, ten for a time of joyous bliss

THAT'S IT!! I know it had the word Bliss in it!! Ner ner ne ner ner!!! lol x :-)

I always say.... One in flight is worth 2 in sight! :O) And i always ask where its wife is today if i see a single one! xx

You have all got me panicking now - I didn't realise that it was about magpies. We had one on our patio the other day and I didn't know that I should have saluted. I always say that I'm not superstitious but......................what can I do to put it right? Chrissie x
