Anyone know the name of the guitar music in the 'Australia.com' adverts on TV? The one with Lord Nelson surfing!
[nowhere near railways I know but how else does one find out?]
EDIT: I have seen it most on the satellite channels 136/187/188

Anyone know the name of the guitar music in the 'Australia.com' adverts on TV? The one with Lord Nelson surfing? [nowhere near railways I know but how else does one find out?] The title should eventually appear on www.commercialbreaksandbeats.co.uk/comp.aspIf it is not listed there, the chances are that it was either specially composed or is non-commercially avaliable production music. Special compositions do sometimes get released if there is a high demand ('I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing', etc), but production music almost certainly never will. Cannot tell you what category this one is as I have not seen the ad yet. |

I remember the last set of Australia adverts were sung by Delta Goodrem. On these adverts they normally use a recognised artist of that nationality, but may have a new song. I havn't seen this one yet, buti'll keep my eyes peeled! |

Whilst were on the topic of "Name that tune" does anybody know the name of the tune of that surfing video Sony Ericson phones. I have the K700i, but i don't know if it is on the K750i or eariler versions. Anyway, does anybody know the name of the tune or where i can find the guitar tab to it?
Cheers.

Well I have the K750i, and there doesn't seem to be anything like that on it.

Not quite off-topic, but I presume everyone knows about dialling 2580 on their mobile to identify those tunes you keep hearing but can't identify....

Well here's one silly old git that did not know so thanks for the info. EDIT: Tried that number and found you can't acces it unless you have caller ID enabled on your mobile. As caller ID is one way that the bad lads and firms can pester you with calls or find out things I keep mine disabled. |

Well here's one silly old git that did not know so thanks for the info. The problem with mobile phones is that they do all sorts of silly things that I do not need. What I want is a mobile that goes 'Ring-Ring' just like telephones did back in the days when all tube trains were painted red. I want a phone that does NOT take messages for me, does NOT send or receive text, does NOT play games and does NOT have attachments that do everything from reminding me of appointments to getting things out of horses hooves. And, of course, calls should only cost three old pence for a connection of unlimited duration. Does Nokia make anything like that? |

As caller ID is one way that the bad lads and firms can pester you with calls or find out things I keep mine disabled. You can always switch it on , use GetRec then switch it off again. That's what I have to do with the adblock options if I want to play the PINGU games etc. |

Huge beast, one of the first 'mobile' telephones on the UK market. You had a battery back, which you had to carry around with you. Cost £3000 in the 1980's to buy the handest, then it was £300 a MINUTE for calls. |

Never had one myself, but remember seeing one at a boot fair for £5. Doubt if it works because I'm sure the tramsmitter beaming the signal has long gone. |

But it's got buttons. Where is the dial? I suppose you will also want the 'proper' dial tone and pulse dialing (for your local calls only, of course, 'trunk' calls to be dialed by the operator). Oops, have I just given away my interest in old telephone technology ;D |

There is no such option on the K750i I'll second that - but it does do all sorts of other clever things (just discovered the mini-globe which actually rotates so you can get any time zone in the world). |
