Ringtones

I just rang Greg's cellphone and found that:
1) he forgot to take it to work and
2) he's swapped his ringtone from 'The Prisoner' theme to 'Captain Beaky and His Band'. Bwahahaha!

Now I have a phone capable of it, I should find something good for mine. No, not the B7 theme; I don't actually like it much.

I have the Dr Who theme :0)

A guy at one place I worked had those five notes used in "Close Encounters of the First Kind". :-P

Mine is the old-fashioned mechanical bell sound from before phones went electronic. I think it sounds pretty convincing.

That's what I have too! I'll change it if I find something better but I haven't so far. I do find a lot of musical ringtones extremely annoying.

The phone in my living room is an old, bright red dial phone. You can hear that mechanical bell ring at some distance.

The electronic versions for mobiles are good, but not quite the same if you live with the real thing.

Yeah, those were loud! I like the look of them too but I find them a pain to dial.

On a bus one day what should I hear blasting out?
The thunderbirds original theme!
The guy who the phone belonged to went a very bright shade of red. Why use a ringtone that you are embarrassed to be associated with in public?

Ha! If I went musical (it just goes ring ring right now) I'd pick something quieter. I did have Mozart on my earlier one.
