How old are you? Your ringtone has the answer

I have the looped opening bars of the Esther Phillips Home Is Where the Hatred Is cover. When it rings the passengers on the bus turn around and think as one "I don't believe he's as old as 42".

I may replace it with the call of a bittern.
 
My phone is mostly on vibrate-only, but when it's not, the ringtone is the startup tune from an original Pacman arcade machine.

Old skool.
 
50-65 according to this bogus Guardian trendpiece, only doubling my actual chronological age :rolleyes: - glad to see I'm not the only one though.

(I did use to have a troooooly "banging" ringtone m'lud, in keeping with my age group. Unfortunately it was a Cuban timba tune which everyone around me found so annoying they insist I remove it from their soundscape. does that win me off ASBO points?)
 
My nephew proudly bluetoothed me Lil' Wayne and some Dip Set raps. They make good alarms because they re loud but cannot ever use them in public....

.. "yeah, it's all about the second loop, innit, try and telnet to it, yeah, what, traceroute blud"
 
I've got that mosquito one as my main one :D it's really annoying :)
A select few are ascribed the intro to Bump N Grind, where Kel sings "MY MIIIIND'S TELLING ME NO! BUT MY BODY! MY BAAAAHHHHHHDY'S TELLING ME YEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHSSSSS".
