    At the last two ClientCos mine has been:
    "Right, whose flipping mobile is that?"
    "Him, there."
    "OK, phone the Guardroom."
    <eek>
    Stomp, stomp, STOMP, STOMP, STAMP.
    SHOUTY, SHOUTY, SHOUT! SHOUT!
    Draaaaaaaaag.
    <sound of cloth getting damp>
    "FIRING SQUAD! TENSHUN! Ready! Aim! Fire!"

    So that was nice.

      At work I have it just on vibrate but when not then different tones for different callers, i.e.

      ******' USA - DPRK (Democratic Party of the Republic of Korea)
      Nazi Punks **** Off - Dead Kennedys
      Hedidi - Hubert von Goisern und die Alpenkatzen
      Eye - Acid Eater
      Light Your Fat Bottom On Fire - Various Mash Up
      Yodelling Man - Dokaka

      And different images show as well
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        I write my own ringtones. If you'd like one that's totally unique PM me. Free of charge to CUKkers of course.

          can you actually hear a Roller or a Bentley being revved?

              But someone round here has as their ring tone - the 'alert' sound from Star Trek.
              We also have Top Cat theme tune, Terry and June theme and Johnny Cash singing Ring of fire.

              I have had the same ring tone for about 5 years. Mr P sampled it for me. Its a (very loud) Dalek saying EXTERMINATE.


              What do you have?
              My one is currently the Comic Relief single.

                Someone at a previous client site had quite a good text message tone - the sound of an arrow twanging into a tree. Quite appropriate really, because one could imagine a piece of paper tied to the arrow a-la Robin Hood.

                I suppose on a similar principle another good text message tone would be a pigeon cooing noise.

                  Could you make do with a 4 litre Jaguar Sovereign being started?

                  If so, I'll have a word with Her Ladyship and record her motor.

                  Be warned: you'll need a "message left on answerphone" ringtone, 'cos you won't hear the 'phone ring.
