61. "After visiting my grandfather's grave in Hermanville-sur-Mer War Cemetery, France for the first time in August 2005 with my father, I noticed that his headstone didn't have any personal message engraved. I asked my father in all innocence why this was so. He promptly burst into tears, saying that the British government charged families in the 1940s for this service, and his newly widowed mother with two young children couldn't afford it. I promised him there and then that I would arrange it for him. Finally in December 2007, I received pictures from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission showing that it had at last been done. I got the pictures printed and rushed them to him as he lay in hospital. He finally saw them on 5 December, 2007, and gave my mother the thumbs up. The next day, he succumbed to secondary cancer. That gets me every time."

I also cried on my 36th birthday when I played in and lost a Cup Final we should have won. I was certain it was going to by the team I had played for since the age of 20's first ever trophy.

The bit in Babe where the mice sings "If I had words"(?) also seems to get me every time.

Owt to do with war, heroic men laying down their lives and all that. End of Blackadder makes me cry like a girl. Film whose name I forget with Kiefer Sutherland and Robert Carlyle about a Japanese POW camp where they meet one of the gurards years later at the end.

That prayer they read on remembrance day about not growing old etc.

I'd be here all day if I started listing.

Although of course most of the time there is just something in my eye.
