No football today so something off topic from my blog this week!
C'mon chaps...we all know that we'd like to be James Bond. Suave, dapper, always ready with the quick line. Dry martini in hand. The inventor of the double entendre. A man of action. A beautiful girl on each arm. A baddy on every corner. And the cars, let's not get started on the cars.
So how close will we ever get to the Bond life?
With this guide to James Bond themes for ringtones you can take a step closer. As you stand, poised with glass in hand at the bar and your phone rings you can benefit from the kudos of a carefully selected Bond ringtone. Choose from the top five below to get that edge...as you answer remember to do it correctly
"The name's bob...no81 bob".
1. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
Well, clip the annoying first 7 seconds and then this is quintessential 60's lounge. Those with you will know they've heard this somewhere - the distant elusive horns, the gently driving beat. *They're in the Aston Martin with you cruising the Italian Riviera...they're having the Bond effect gently infused.

2. Goldeneye
Tease your friends with that lingering opening. The brassy horn kicks in. Then it's Tina and they know they're in Bond land.

3. Dr No (original classic)
Rather like a bottle of Old Spice or Brut 33 you can't really can't go wrong with the old favourite, can you? This is splash-it-all-over Bond effect - prepare to stand by what you're doing here. There's no hiding, and some may find this overpowering.

4. Diamonds are Forever
Prepare to be initially mistaken for Tubular Bells and then the magic of Shirley Bassey. A subtle toot on the horns. I believe another Dry Martini is called for. Maybe a ringtone for the ladies, but prepare to frighten a few men.

5. Goldfinger
You are the bees knees. The mutts nuts. And you don't care that everybody knows. The Bold Intro gentle eases away to the magic words. Goldfinger. The next round is on me and I believe we're on the Moët and Chandon.

The Big NO-NO
On no account ever choose the theme to The Man with the Golden Gun. Lulu has had many wonderful moments in her career but converting her Bond Theme to a ringtone is a definite no-no. As your phone rings, the song crashes in and you pull it from your pocket little Lulu proclaiming
"He has a powerful weapon
He charges a million a shot"
Guaranteed to clear the room, less Bond more Austin Powers.
