Seeing as there doesn't seem to be much news on the CR-front right now, I thought it might be fun to engage in something constructive. Like wondering what tune Bond would have as his mobile phone ringtone? What about the other Bond characters?

If only Rog was still Bond; the Bond theme itself would make a smashing ringer for his phone. But what about the other Bonds? Would Brosnan Bond download amusing and satirical ringtones from the internet for his phone? Does Miss Moneypenny have Barry Manilow on her stylish yet discreet mobile? And does the idea of M having fun with the Crazy Frog sound plausible?

Come on and share yer two pennies.

Bond would have as his ringtone the theme tune from He-Man.

At the moment I myself have two ringtones: The theme tune from Count Duckula for ring and a quote from Trapdoor for messages.

It has to be Crazy Frog! He looks a little like Daniel Craig... (sorry, I like him really! I really do!)

Tom Jones - Sexbomb.

'nuff said.

Should be the national anthem or Rule Britannia! you know its true

Somehow I could imagine that working in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen for Connery's character.

Rule Britannia... I concur...

Bond's ringtone would be unfussy, stylish and classic: A simple electronic burr. Timeless and not tacky. Plain? Probably, but it beats having his own theme as a tone.

Would his mobile not be silent with "vibration node" on for those times he needs to be stealthy? You know, like a spy? No?

I'm inclined to agree.

Hur hur...vibration.

[Blofeld's Cat]

I'm inclined to...vibration.

I have the right tool for that Darling.

Ah, selective hearing.

...seriously?

Well obviosuly the real James Bond, Fleming's Bond, would have "Cigarettes and alcohol".

Gardner would change it and Benson re-instate it.

True! Perhaps with a slight alteration to the lyrics: Cigarettes and alcohol (and benzedrine).

That'd be "Sex, Drugs and Alcohol," then.

I saw the thread title and wondered whether you would get there first.

well if he's anything like me, he'd change it up from time to time, depending on his situation: if he needed to be stealthy, sure, he'd set it to silent; but if he were in a public area, like at a party or in a casino or something, he might have a tone either instead of the vibrate setting or perhaps in addition to the vibrate setting.

in that case:

Bond's ringtone would be unfussy, stylish and classic:

The Pink Panther theme by Henry Marcini!

you can't get much classier than that, baby!

Or maybe he would have two phones - hide one and call it to create a distraction when in a 'tight spot'.

I'm going home now.

if he's gonna do that, the song he has to use is "Play That Funky Music, White Boy" by KC and the Sunshine Band!

[Daddy Bond]

Wasn't it just a plain old ring in TND? Not very creative though. Maybe Q set it for him though - after all, doesn't Bond admit earlier in the film to having problems working with cell phones - like talking into the wrong end?

It was either that or talk about anal bleaching.

[Mr Malcolm]

Great suggestions so far!

All I have to say is "Don't you wish your girlfriend..." and I think I can be kicked out for the rest.

Not necessarilly. Can you imagine Connery singing this to Pussy?

It was either that or talk about anal bleaching.

I'm assuming that that's self-explanatory...

Whoops. I think I may have been responsible for that one... Although I'm not saying I've done it, and having brought it up shouldn't cast any reflection on personality in general...

God Save the Queen, or course!
