Wake Up
Words can’t currently describe the alarm clock that I’ve had to “deal” with over the past six weeks. It’s like an air horn. It’s not nice, not soothing and quite terrifying. I’m not doing it any justice at all. It’s ear piercingly painful. And I’ve not got used to it.
Like most of these things I’ve decided to take matters into my own hands and have purchased a more civilised alarm clock, one that wakes you with a compliment rather than a fright. I can’t wait. Thank you Mr Fry, thank you.
I’ve not heard if the purchase will be welcomed. I can’t wait. I’m all about the classy.

Stu,

You are showing the most exquisite and discerning taste! Who would not prefer to be awakened like the Lord of the Manor ought to be awakened, with all due and proper respect!
Gotta love it
That’s a pretty snazzy clock. I do enjoy Stephen Fry. Alas, I have six month old twins, and absolutely no need for an alarm clock.
How properly British…
The gentle speech would lull me to sleep again…but the “beep” itself is quite harsh.
I set my mobile phone’s alarm clock which also vibrates, so my head is shaken awake from under the pillow each morning.
That clock is completely *brilliant*! I think I’d laugh myself out of bed every morning. Thanks for the link!
Omigosh!! I agree with Theresa…I’d be laughing myself out of bed each morning for sure. What fun! It makes me smile just thinking you might actually purchase one of these clocks for your very own. LOL…perhaps I should suggest this for my hubby as well….LOL!
They should make one with my own version, which I absolutely have actually used on friends: “Boy, be a man! Wake up. Drink beer!”
Oh yes I did.
