Asda is still open go get your own, I'm back to torn up pieces of sheet that I use when I usually have a cold!

Or I could, find a real weepy which would make it worth charging for delivery!

This one has me aged about 3 and I'm sitting underneath our piano. My mum is playing this (and, yes, she's just as good as this bloke) and it makes me cry, not howling - just softly weeping because it's beautiful and it's my mummy playing it.

Oh I'm destroyed now, Less, I can't go on!

Here's one that makes me wish I was talented enough to sing it and also, be lucky enough to have some one to sing it to!

and another one.... this one reminds me of orchestra.......

This is another!!! It doesn't make me cry, but it's sooooo very very true.

Bagpipes and Drums can usually be relied on to make me choke up a bit

Awwww me too!!! I could stand all day listening to bagpipes and drums!!

And I always wanted to be able to sing like this:-

but I just had a passable mezzo-soprano. It reminds me of my mum, again, as we had very similar tastes until Elvis came along.

Anyway, re this clip, nobody should have such a fantastic voice and be so beautiful. It's just not bl**dy fair.

Good old Celine Dion.

Frank Sinatra singing My Way always makes me cry. It was my Grandad's favourite song, he always sung it as his party piece. I have Sinatra's greatest hits in my car and I can't always bear to listen to that song, much as I love it I have to skip over it most times.

Oh I did enjoy that, Steeljack, I will go a long way to see/hear a pipe band. I spent years trying to persuade my grandson that he really wanted to be a drummer in a pipe band (I love the tight snare drums) but to no avail - he plays rock guitar like his uncle Alan.

Just for you, don't drive while listening though!

And finally.....before I weep my way up to bed, that blasted beautiful woman again, singing my party-piece when I was about 10 (Mum on the piano and I sang it in English - "Oh my beloved, father, I love him, yes, I love him. I'll go to Ponta Rosa to buy a wedding ring......etc." - and it was really a bit too high for me). It's a lovely piece though. Good old Puccini.

Just a quick thought, It could be expanded to those moments in a film where the woman watching is about to burst into tears and yet her feller just happens to have a tissue ready for her!

(I'll let you into a secret here girl's, HE was getting himself a tissue, but you assumed he was getting it for you, so what else can he do but put on a brave face, otherwise the moment is lost!).
