Merry Christmas and all the compliments of the season!

We had to exchange gifts a few days early with my brother, and I must
tell you what he gave me.

It's called the Jeeves Clock. The alarm consists of a discreet cough,
followed by one of 500 phrases in the voice of Stephen Fry, talking
about the chap who called earlier today before Madam could be
disturbed, or apologizing for the earliness of the hour, etc.

One can also purchase the gentleman's version.

I saw these advertised through pgwnet some time ago. I wonder if there will
ever be an aunts version. Have a wonderful Xmas everyone and the best of new
years.

By an aunt's version, do you mean one in which an aunt wakes you up
instead of Jeeves? Not sure I'd enjoy that half so much.

Now, one where Sue Brown woke me up...

And I'd pay good money not to have the Madeline Basset (which wakes you up
by putting her hands over your eyes, and saying "Guess Who?")

As long as the clock doesn't wake one by puncturing one's hot water
bottle...

Or by yelling out "Got gat, got gat" (ref to an incident in "Big
Money" --one of my top 10 Wodehouse books).
