There is a marvellous alarm clock with a male and female, and now I believe, a deluxe version, so that you may wake up to the marvellous tones of one Mr Stephen Fry. I have considered ordering one, however -

I already have a fandangled alarm clock with a remote and a dock for an iPod. I can pop my iPod into the dock and wake up to whatever I wish to set on the iPod. I do believe there are quite a few of these around, as they can also charge your iPod and so other associated tasks, as well as wake you up in the morning.

What I am wondering is:

Since the lovely Mr Fry has an alarm clock and podcasts on iTunes, I think it would be marvellous if you could buy snippets of Mr Fry messages on iTunes. I would quite happily pay $1.69 (AU) to pop my iPod into my alarm clock and wake up to Mr Fry saying "Good morning madam, I wish you a capital good day, I hope you had a simply marvellous restful sleep..." etc and continue for a couple of minutes... A night time message would be handy, and perhaps the odd motivational speech, or even a relaxation session as his voice is so very soothing....

Whilst the Stephen Fry alarm clock is lovely, so many more people have iPods and alarm clocks already..

Just a thought.

You can indeed download them. You can get 10 of the 'Sir' or 'Madam' snippets for free, or you can buy all the 'Sir' snippets. They don't have all the 'Madam' snippets for sale yet though

(hover over 'Downloads' and click on 'Good Morning Sir')

Thank you very much!

I was able to download free 10 of the Good Morning Madam phrases. Excellent. Shall have some fun with that!

I now have 10 of Jeeves/Mr Fry's free downloads on my iPod.

Shall dock it with my fancy alarm clock do-dad and see if I can wake up to the dulcet tones of Mr Fry!

Excellent!
