For reasons of sheer boredom (and too much red wine - for influenzal medicinal purposes), I've been listening to about 20 versions of this.


Who do you think is the best?


Deanna Durbin - too perfect.

Mario Lanza - not the right song for him

Sinead O'Connor - bad phrasing

Celtic Woman - looks like a mermaid, v. suspicious

The Pogues - taking the piss

Eva Cassidy - too country

Tom Jones - no way

Andy Williams - too smooth

Johnny Cash - too stilted

Jim Reeves - hate to diss him, but no. Could have pulled it off a cappella.

Elvis - too much vibrato

Nana Mouskouri - favouring this at mo, but accent is dodgy


I simply can't rest until this issue is solved.

Haven't heard that in ages!



For great instrumental versions, the

rendition is a favourite in our house (mrs.number5 had to pull the car over the first time she heard it), and the version from Brassed Off remains great.

Have just been listening to the brassed off version BN5 - and then had to watch Danny's "acceptance" speech again. Great film.

    • Hi, The seller has already been restricted from making posts on the forum (including in the For Sale board) straight after you initially reported this. They do however still have access to their private messages so that they can contact you. If its clear that they have no intention of resolving then they will be permanently banned.   I would recommend making contact with the company as you will require evidence that the item is stolen if you plan to report this to the police. If so there is useful information on the Citizen's Advice website: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/consumer/somethings-gone-wrong-with-a-purchase/if-you-think-youve-bought-stolen-goods
