    One of my co-workers has this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaqJB4Wm_dk[^] as his message tone. The whole *&@^ing thing, and he gets lots of messages. Any creative solutions, that don't involve murder?

    Call him, leave ultra long voice mails, lots of them. It worked with my room mate who had a voice mail message that was over a minute long. Just make sure to sprinkle in enough important information that he can't delete the message without listening to it first.

          I like to sit in the Quite Coach [1st class surely?] and will happily remonstrate with miscreants who converse with their fellow travellers [often in a load voice] or listen to exceptionally loud [and IMO tasteless] musak. My favourite is to ask, politely, if they have a problem with reading and if not then why are they ignoring the sign? I have, on occasion, been told that I shouldn't complain as I've got music on. I do not call Radio 4 music and they obviously can't hear it if they think it is.

            Blink 182 did a song based on George Carlin's words you can't say on TV thing (or whatever it was called) which is just repeated swear words. Many years ago I set that to the ring tone for me on a colleague's phone. Waited for him to go into a meeting with some of the company directors. Then phoned him up. It was the sort of company where not only you could get away with that sort of thing, but it was appreciated by those running the place.

                I don't know, YouTube recently blocked at work, and they got up to 10 words in the song. It is called Family Reunion.

                          Too right: getting enough alcohol to get someone drunk is near a week's spending money. Then there is the problem of inventing the time machine to find a pressgang. :)

                            Both really good musicians. EDIT: Brad Paisley is a great guitar player (Album "Play") and Alison Kraus has some really good albums - check the one with her husband Robert Plant - great one! Won a Grammy for best Album. It could get worse, I remember this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqJVlS37J74[^]

                            Probably they are good musicians, but I don't see why I should have this grossly sentimental song forced on me n times per day. I mean the protagonist just caught his wife in bed with another man, its not as if his dog died...

                                When ever you're not sure what to do at work, just ask yourself: "What Would Alice Do?"[^]

                                Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt
