A Huddersfield man says he's had to change his ringtone five times - because his parrot keeps copying them.
Stuart McNae says Billy waits until he leaves the room and then mimics the sound of a call - and laughs when he dashes back to answer.
Every time Stuart, 54, changes his ringtone the cheeky blue-fronted Amazon picks up the new one.
He's gone through the Nokia theme, Lou Bega's Mambo Number 5, the BBC Match of the Day tune, Soul Limbo by Booker T and the MGs and Bob Marley's No Woman No Cry.
He said: "I now have the theme from A Fistful of Dollars. Won't be long before he's got that, too.
"He waits for me to leave the room before he does it. I'll rush downstairs to find its Billy."

Free online X-rated clips are killing the porn industry
A major porn producer filed a lawsuit Monday against an X-rated knockoff of YouTube, alleging that it profited from piracy by allowing its users to post videos that include copyrighted material. The suit is apparently the first of its kind in the adult film industry, which has done a better job than the major Hollywood studios in finding ways to profit from putting entertainment products on the Internet. But in the last year or so, the rapid increase in consumption of all manner of videos on the Web has in some ways hurt the porn producers more than the mainstream companies because consumers of adult fare often get what they are looking for in clips of five minutes or less. Free short clips are easy to find on the Web, undercutting the established porn producers, which earn most of their money from long-form videos. » Article here
Dude didn't want to look like a wimp on YouTube
A Dunkin' Donuts employee who whacked a robber over the head with a tip cup Sunday night said only one thought was running through his mind – not looking like a wimp on YouTube.
Dustin Hoffmann, a borough musician who has worked at the coffee and doughnuts chain for 10 months, said he fought back because he wanted to "look good" if the surveillance tape turned up on the popular video-sharing Web site.
"What was going through my mind at that point was that the security tape is either going to show me run away and hide in the office or whack this guy in the head, so I just grabbed the cup and clocked that guy pretty hard," Hoffmann said Monday. » Full article here
Robbed man walked home in his underwear
A man was forced to walk three miles to his home in his underwear after being assaulted and robbed of his clothes. Police said the 39-year-old victim was picked up in what he thought was a taxi in Glasgow on Saturday. He asked to be driven to Carntyne in the city, but the silver Skoda Octavia instead drove him to the Forge Retail Park in the east end. He was then threatened by the occupants of the car and robbed of his clothes before walking home to Carntyne.
Strathclyde Police said the vehicle had stopped in the Dennistoun area, where another man and woman had got in, before arriving at the Forge. Officers said the victim had been badly shaken but was otherwise uninjured from his ordeal. A police spokeswoman said it was an "uncommon" incident.
