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.

    • Hopefully the Canada Geese were being culled - I'm being serious.  It's permitted
    • You might be interested in watching this video on you tube. It's from a wildlife gardener called Joel Ashton who regularly posts about his work in that area. Being interested in that kind of thing I follow him a lot. Anyway, a few days ago he posted about his plants being deliberately poisoned allegedly by his neighbour. He is going through the process of taking legal action and videoing this journey. There is another follow up which he posted a couple of days ago . It might be helpful to you. I think I should point out that the alleged culprit is not identified on the video so not breaking any privacy laws in sharing this.  
    • Around ten days ago there were around 6 Mallard ducklings and the same number of Canada Goose goslings. Today, not one to be seen 😥
