Finally, a civilized way to wake up

(Credit: Pocket-lint)

Now this is our kind of alarm clock. Forget about those other ones that blow out your eardrums or fly and run away from you.

The "Jeeves" clock from Voco awakens you with one of 49 British quips from the voice of Stephen Fry himself, classically designed with Roman numerals and Ionic columns. An example from Pocket-lint: "Good morning, Sir. The prime minister phoned again. I told him you were not available. We shan't be treated like THAT again!" Indeed.

Bought one the same day

I bought one of these the day I read this, and had it shipped to the states. 25 quid well spent. The sound quality is great, it says 65 phrases accompanied by other sound effects in the morning, and really easy to use. It quips "very good sir" when you hit the snooze. One thing though, it only is a 12 hour clock, so it will conceivable go off at 7am and 7pm the same day unless you turn it off, and the alarm is hard to set exactly because it's just an hour hand.
