Actually, Lady of Mystery, the only way I'd probably finish a marathon is if someone was chasing me playing a fiddle....

Well back to topic, my ringtone is The Entertainer, originally by Joplin, made famous by the film The Sting. My preferred version in by Elizabeth Hayes. I like how she emphasises the bass. And it goes down well when I'm performing tricks and The Entertainer starts playing, there's always someone who comments.

Great tune Tenko.... but I bet when your phone rings most folk just think you're a big snooker fan..

Just changed mine to the Hong Kong Phooey theme..... trouble is, I don't want to answer the phone 'cos I'm enjoying singing along too much.

Tenko, at the end of any of the snooker tournaments on the bbc they always show a compilation of all the best shots/flukes/amusing moments/etc... accompanied by The Entertainer. It's a great British tradition.

My ringtone is the "Teen Buzz" or "Mosquito" Ringtone. Teenagers know what I'm talking about. It's a 20,000 khz buzzing that most adults over 25 can't hear at all.
I use it to text in class....XP

Flash,

I wish I hadn't spent my youth watching you make balloon models, I might have had more time to watch snooker on telly :shock:

I thought it was that silly Match of the Day tune they played :? But at the time I was avidly trying to make a green frog out of the 50 red balloons I'd blown up :oops:

I've always liked "It's quite difficult to get a snooker when there's only one ball left on the table."

Colin had a friend once who was completely colourblind. Not just red-green confusion, but totally black and white. This guy was a genius at the pool table and wanted to play snooker, but couldn't tell which ball was which. He'd have to point to them one by one and ask "what colour?" so he could plan his next shot. Eventually he gave it up because it was just too difficult.
