Bloody ringtones !!

[paulineb]

There are so many ringtones in this office, it drives you made. Time for everyone on here to own up -- what's your ringtone ?

Mines just ring ring, can't stand all the other bullshit, with every tune under the sun, but none I recognise!

Carefull you don't start something here, one of the Scuttlebutters makes all these tones!

Mine is on silent and just vibrates in my pocket, can't wait for the next call.

 

[whisper]

Don't know , I only turn my phone on when I want to ring out.

Std. Phone in my office (with headset etc., so only bleeps once .. low), ie if I'm in the office I hear it, but if I'm out amongst my troups, it's irrelevant and they should leave a message.
Mobile - Std. ring for all others than my wife and daughter, where my daughter have programmed "Morning" by Grieg, ....upon request from me....

I'm one of those sad gits that have ringtones assigned to various people ie,

The wife..........The stripper
The bank manager........The death march
The customers.........I'm in the money
Everyone else........The Simpsons

Sad I know, but when I'm in the car and it rings I know who it is without looking at it.

Captain Pugwash theme I'm afraid!

"Hopefully that won't be too expensive to fix?"

Recently got a vibrating one - nearly gave me a heart attack the first time it went off.

However, I like the idea of linking ringtones to specific people. Thoughts so far:

My Boss - Shower music from Psycho

SWMBO - Please release me (only joking, dear)

The Mother in Law - anything by Black Sabbath (still only joking, dear)

John Prescott - Why was he born so beautiful?

Saddam Hussein - I just called to say I love you

NASA - Bits and pieces (sorry... lapse into bad taste)

and so on..............

Nearly forgot - when it's not vibrating, mine plays the theme from "Roobarb" (much loved kid's cartoon series by the great Bob Godfrey). Intensely irritating.

Monty Python theme.
De-dumty-dumty -dumty -dum. De-dumty- dumty- dar!!

One more de dumpty in it and it would sound like The Archers

 

[Chris771]

Agree with Colin it is only a phone - standard ringtone is fine, all the stupid tunes realy irritate me.

you wanna try my office
evryone has a mobile
what is more annoying many people have these bloody things that look line a line of black snot is coming out of their ears
so from a distance you think they are talking to you only to find they are are talking to someone else via a bead of snot.
the rest of the office seems to be in competition to have the most annoying tone the tunes are horrendous but what is worse are these new phones that you can set to sound like a polyphonic rape alarm so that everyone leaps out of their seat while the owner calmly allows the thing to rise into a crfscendo of noise that makes you swear the thing is going to raise the dead

also there are those people who leave them on their desk on. i have flung to date four mobiles out of our first floor window. i have also threatened numerous people that if they do not answer the feckin phone it will take surgery to answer it next time. it seems to work.

mine

oh it set to silent or beep once. i neither know nor care how to download the theme from mission impossible which seems to be a current favourite.

Ok brain let's just do this and I can get back to killing you with beer.

Ok brain let's just do this and I can get back to killing you with beer.

Re: Hot baths

You will only end with a Batharia doing this........(big groan)

 

[Trevethan]

Have to admit I have an excerpt from Tubuklar Bells as mine... the same one as used in the Exorcist. It seems to worry the boss a bit, which is hardly a bad thing.



She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like the sound a dog makes just before it throws up
