Now wake up and listen. We know you weren't in Take That. You know you weren't in Take That. So in the event that you wake up singing Back for Good you can either (a) bury your head under the pillow or (b) invest in the sleek, black and really rather clever Retro iPod Alarm Clock.

It's a clock. It's a dock. It works superbly, irrespective of your taste in music. Synch it up to your iPod and, hey presto, it'll wake you up to your favourite tune from the Hit Parade, or your toppermost playlist, for that matter. And here's the even cleverer bit. As soon as you pop it in, it switches the iPod to clock mode and even starts charging it up while you're off in the land of nod.

And should the Sigue Sigue Sputnik emanating from the omni-directional speakers be a touch too loud for your delicate early-morning ear drums - and let's face it, there are times when even Roger Whittaker is too much for us - it even comes with that most retro of analogue features, a volume dial.

So, from hereon, on-time arrival at work is absolutely guaranteed. But whether it'll help you to sing in time is another matter entirely...
