One of my friends wrote herself the Foundation Hymn as a ringtone a couple of years ago...

above and beyond.

I have 'Mary, Mary Quite Contrary' on mine.

MY husband does USracing on TV and he has the bugle call when the horses go to post on his.

B.

I have the school hymn music - and it is also in all the chapel books. I can let you have it if you pm me. We use the music at our patronal festival.

The ring tone written by Plem's Frond is on the Big Grecian site, but it is only one of those simple monophonic tones. I have the brass fanfare to the Foundation hymn in all its glory as the ring tone on my phone!

so long as you don't start singing praise the Lord for our Foundation and ringed by downs and woodland fair ...

that would be embarrassing!

I remember the last OG day at Hertford in '84 ( and the only one to which I ever went...) , when we sang the CH hymn in Chapel ( all of us, might I add, without needing the books...) , and Mr. Walker thought that we enjoyed it so much, we should sing the last verse again.... my husband thought we were all totally mad ! It is a lovely hymn, though ...

I was thinking more if your phone went on the bus or train ...

What'swrong with that ? I'm british, ergo excentric and indeed probably certifiable...and nayway, there are so many loonies on the metro in Barcelona, they probably wouldnt even notice...

Ringtones ?

Don't get me started on that one !

Eldest Grand-Daughter, (14), said to me. "Here Grand-Dad ! Listen to my new ring-tone !"

Suffice it to say, its a verbal alarm, and obscene hardly starts to describe it ! Where do these teenagers get em from ?

We had a guy from the local school on a work placement recently and he had a public execution on his phone. I was almost physically sick when I saw it. Is this what 'youth' call entertainment these days?

These can be found on various sites on the web, shoz, but even as an advocate of capital punishment, I wouldn't suggest you visit them.

I never would, the lad just shoved his phone in my face and said 'have a look at this', by the time I could look away it was too late.

Off topic, how do I get words to appear under my messages like you guys do?
