I should add that, strictly speaking, it wasn't Frank Sinatra's version that stuck in my head - it was the karaoke effort belted out by the snaggle-toothed old chap who held a drunken crowd spellbound in the Black Bull in Morpeth on Sunday night. Make that seven things I didn't expect to see over the course of the Bank Holiday weekend...

Meanwhile, another song from Real Emotional Trash tops the pile. At this rate, I can see every song putting in an appearance at the summit of future installments of FGH -it's hands-down my favourite album of the year so far.
