Not just kids. Did you notice in the Channel 4 "100 greatest war films", Richard Todd showing that he had the Dambuster's Theme as the ringtone on his phone. Classic movie themes are quite popular as ringtones. But I can't find anyone doing that piano progression that is a recurring motif in A Matter of Life and Death.

As a member of the I Only Use My Mobile To Make Phone Calls brigade I don't usually bother with other than standard ringtones, but I recently bought the ringtone as used in the offices of CTU in "24". Very pleasant, calming and really nice. I have to resist the tempation of answering it "CTU Jack Bauer!" though! So I can't really criticise stupid people buying friggin' frogs playing Axel F!

I have nothing against people with music tones for their phones,after all mine plays Minuet by Mozart (although I would prefer the Bond theme,or the Indiana Jones theme - I just can't be choosy with my phone),but the frog theme has gone on overkill. People,who will download it,will soon realise how it irritating it is to others and then find it the hard way they cannot have a mobile phone removed from their rectum on the NHS.

If you read the ticker tape terms and conditions banner that flashes along the bottom of the screen during the advert, the charge for the Froggy shite ringtone is £6 PER FORTNIGHT! If you don't unsubscribe you just keep on getting charged!



I'd like a mobile ringtone that sounds like an old BT dial telephone "ring ring, ring ring". That would catch on I'm sure!

Quick question. There is an advert at the moment on television. It is set in New York,it has Dean martin (I think) responding to the question "How Do You Like Your Eggs In The Morning". The advert is for Tropicana Orange Juice. However,what is the yellow sauce poured over the eggs in the advert?

Reminds me of the response to the chat up line:



He: How do you like your eggs in the morning?

She: Unfertilised

Any truth in the rumour of a film version of the Bev/Kev adverts (AA insurance) :sad: ?

Nothing would surprise me. They tried it once with those 2 young bimbo ladies from the Philadelphia cheese adverts. The ugly blonde one also appeared in a couple of films as well, so quite busy. Nothing became of them though, probably tried to spread themselves too thin!



I remember Julie Graham started out in a Peugeot 106 ad, and The Bill's DS Debbie McCallister did a Rover Metro one when they had an offer of a 30 day exchange. Usually they do toiletry ads after they've left a soap "for fear of being typecast" and you never see them again in a programme!



There is a rumour flying about that the ringtone Froggy is going to be made into a full length feature film! AAaaaaaaaagh!



I know one thing, I won't go to More Than for insurance. They seem to cater for complete idiots who can't control their dogs, drive dangerously, wreck everything and the insurance company loves them! So only go to them if you're incompetent because they obviously must charge extra premiums for idiots!

The Virgin Trains advert is quite good for filn spotters, clips of The The Railway Children, The Lady Vanishes, North by Northwest, Some Like it Hot and (I think) In Which We Serve.

I'll admit to being a tad biased but as far as I'm concerned, it's my No. 1 favourite ad - I think it may have something to do with the divine Miss Agutter [

Yes,I am certain it is the late Sir John Mills as Shorty from In Which We Serve.

The blonde one was in "The Rainbow". Her and Amanda Donoghue both got their kit off a couple of times. Directed by Ken Russell
