I've just downloaded "There's Somebody At The Door" from the IT Crowd. Does anyone else out there also have too much time?

My ringtone has nothing to do with comedy, mine is You'll Never Walk Alone by Gerry and the Pacemakers.

Just the basic,
wouldn't it be fun to sneakily give others ring tones,
e.g."Get down I've got a gun," "If I got you drunk, would you sue me for shagging you?" or just good old "Boris would make a great mayor,"
That would be embarrassing.

Mines The Kooks: She Moves in her own Way.
No idea why. Just the only one I have on my phone.
My message tone says in a deep American accent: Excuse me boss, you have a message!

I have Monty Python's "Always look on the Bright side of life" as my Ringtone.
And for text messages I have "True Believers" by the Bouncing Souls for my text messages.
For 4 years I had Europe's "The Final Countdown" as my ringtone. It went off in my jacket once when it was across the room during a lecture. Lucky for me the Professor thought it was funny and didn't give me shit for it.

I used to have sheep noises ([proudly produced by myself and a friend) as my text message alert... when that went off in a lecture I changed it! So embarassed!

My vintage phone has a very basic old fashioned ringtone.
At the last Green Wing get together in January, most of the people there had the GW theme tune on their phones.
A tad excessive, or damn well right?
you decide.

I hate ringtones. All of them, without exception. My phone is on silent/vibrate at all times. Which is why I miss a lot of calls. I wish it had a 'pinch' setting. Now that I'd feel in my pocket.

True story. One of my mates got really pissed at a friends house so we changed his ringtone. The following day when he was sat down with his relatives to a slap up Christmas lunch we phoned him. His ringtone was (in a girly voice):
'Ooh Steve, you've got got a really big penis. Thanks for the shag.'
How we laughed.

I wish the phones here weren't locked.
On Wednesday 31st December 1969 GMT at 7:00 PM GMT, Aaron said:
Why would a locked phone stop you changing a ringtone?
On Wednesday 31st December 1969 GMT at 7:00 PM GMT, Curt said:
You can't create your own ringtones with a locked ringtone.
On Wednesday 31st December 1969 GMT at 7:00 PM GMT, Aaron said:
Ah right, I see.
So what is the ringtone you're locked on exactly? Your network's name being screamed out as loud as possible?
The sound of Roman Catholic priests sucking off choir boys?
On Wednesday 31st December 1969 GMT at 7:00 PM GMT, Curt said:
You can only purchase specific ringtones created by your cell company. Lucky for me they had some Monty Python BUT it also cost me close to 8 bucks for 1 ringtone.
I would much rather be able to make my own like Ellie...perhaps not sheep noises but my own none the less.

Fucking hell. I honestly didn't know your networks were so backwards. Buy yourself a phone from the UK. Much better.

I saw some shady looking stand in the mall the other day that said "25$ to unlock your Nokia phone". On the bright side it could be legit, on the down side I could never see that phone again or the guy could break my phone trying to 'crack it'. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm what to do what to do.

What's going on in Canada? Is there some weird cultural reason you can't choose your ringtones freely?
On Wednesday 31st December 1969 GMT at 7:00 PM GMT, Aaron said:
Tim, half of them think they're French. 'Nuff said.

On Wednesday 31st December 1969 GMT at 7:00 PM GMT, Curt said:
It Probably has to do with the fact that we have the largest media concentration out of any western nation. Damn lack of competition.
EDIT: Hey that's not always....wait...I'm half French...Damn it he's right.
On Wednesday 31st December 1969 GMT at 7:00 PM GMT, Nobby9360 said:
Ive got various ones for all the random people in my life but the main one is the Theme tune to Monkey Island 3.
And you can't help being French ( or half )
Don't beat yourself up about it...
There's thousands willing to do it for you.
But seriously Canada's great even if they are a bit strange when it comes to ringtones, i mean if you cant feel it in your pocket doesn't everybody then reach for their phone at once?

Yeah, but my ringpiece has a very low tone nowadays. not very impressive when in company.
On Wednesday 31st December 1969 GMT at 7:00 PM GMT, JerryG said:
Even though I prefer the our US version of "The Office" to the original, I still use the instrumental version of "Handbags and Gladrags" as my ringtone.
The first couple of notes are distinctive enough for me to notice without being too loud or intrusive to whatever surrounding I'm in.
Plus, it's a test of coolness. I'm waiting for that right person to say, "hey, I know that!"
(People calling me, however, do get the US theme as the ringback tune as the call is being connected.)

that may be too much info there thing, but if everyone here indeed has a different anal ringpiece tone, do you think between us we could play the theme to Fawlty Towers?
or battlestar (original) and that could be used as a ringtone, it would certainly amuse me in the supermarket.
On Wednesday 31st December 1969 GMT at 7:00 PM GMT, WrongTale said:
I do not download ringtones, nor I pay for them. I rip an mp3 from my audio discs and use a 0.5-1 min section, usually the beginning of the song. Plus, I assigned a ringtone to ppl's numbers that call me most.
Wife - Blackmore's Night "Play Minstrel Play" (fast part, with Ian Anderson going nuts on flute)
Dad - Beatles "In My Life" (solo section)
Mother-In-Law - a piece of Bach's Vivace by Dutch progrock band Ekseption
Boss - Dream Theater "Ytsejam" (I did try to assign Blackadder I theme, as he's a huge fan of the show, but it just didn't sound good enough through the speakers)
general - Dead Can Dance "Saltarello".

Well, yeah. i'd offer to do the Bass section if only I didn't have to clench so hard - - - if it hadn't been for that bloke with the studded leather Postman's hat insisting he had to get something through me letterbox.
