Ah – ring tones. Love ’em or hate ’em, fact is – they’re here to stay.

Question is – is it better just to go with the standard ring tones that come with the phone, or should one go to the trouble of downloading a polyphonic that wittily expresses one’s personality?

I must say, back in the day when hardly anyone had a mobile I thought it rather clever that Bobby Helpmann had programmed his to play “Country Garden”, but the other day when Nic Roeg’s iPhone burst to life in the middle of a script meeting with the theme from Dr Zhivago people shook their heads sadly and the meeting finished rather early.

So, dear readers; what are your thoughts? Heard a good one lately that particularly suited its owner? Have one on your own phone of which you are justifyably proud?

Oh – and there’s a special prize for guessing what mine is…
