To ask what irrationally makes you cry?

[Champagneformyrealfriends]

Mine's the bloody "In The Night Garden" intro. Every bloody night.

The top note in Defying Gravity (if the rest of the song has been sung really well)

Marching bands, esp the drums. DM is the same

Watership Down, when the 'Black Rabbit' comes to collect the hero at the end. Blub

The abandoned phones in the Carphone Warehouse advert used to have me filling up. I know this is deeply pathetic.

Your Song by Elton John

Curly did you see the freebies advert with the dog? That one made me cry

Male voice choirs
Especially if they sing Danny Boy

Oh I know! Right at the start of the Lion King Musical when all the animals troop into the auditorium through the aisles, I found my lip wobbling and couldn't understand why. I turned round in my seat to watch everything from all the different angles and saw that well over half the audience were experiencing the same emotion as me, wiping their eyes etc.

Champagne: I don't watch adverts anymore really, just forward through them. Thank god, if they could leave me traumatised!!

(No I didn't see the dog one)

When I'm watching my favourite band. Doesn't matter what song they play. After 20 odd years it never fails me.

The John Lewis Christmas adverts. I bloody hate the festive season but somehow they always make me teary.

A practise fire evacuation.

Oh the PHONES!

I got my Nokia back out of the mazuma mobile bag

Mine is Extreme Makeover Home Edition always even though rationally I know I'm being manipulated into crying.

'Vincent' by Don McLean. No idea why, Van Gogh isn't even my favourite artist. Probably I'm just a suckered for mawkish sentimentality

Very old men shopping alone.

Whenever I hear children singing Away in a Manger, also whenever I hear Oh mio Babbino Cara.

Children singing in choirs or big groups. Makes me well up. Too much emotion

"Do you hear the people sing", the reprise (or whatever it's called), at the end of Les Mis on stage.
U2 singing Bad at a concert, 30 years after I first saw them.
News reports about older people being abused in homes (actuakly I'm filling up now).
Sad cat adverts.

Wets ditto

I cried at the end of Toy Story 3 when it was on TV the other week

DIY SOS the big build - every bloody time. And Undercover Boss.

Away in a manger- a bit difficult when you're a primary school teacher.
