For years, office rules have rendered the Great British Worker silent. With increasing bans on mobiles, inter-personal fraternisation and now a broadside against the new-fangled social networking applications, there's an ever-decreasing number of ways to express one's individuality between the hours of 9 and 5.

Until now that is. Messages take on a whole new meaning with this rather spiffing USB Message Board. Are your co-workers always giving you a hard time about being away from your desk and not knowing where you are? Well this gizmo is sure to transform their grumpy, furrowed-brow expressions into tight smiles of suppressed amusement.

Lighting up with attention grabbing red dotted letters, it screams 'read me, read me'. But fear not, one can put one's personal touch to any messages as the text is 8 Speed and 3 brightness level adjustable, supports 5 different scrolling modes and even supports sound effects to spice up your message somewhat. And, if like we at Gadgetshop, you believe that pictures speak louder than words, you can also add up to 12 bitmap images and transform it into an animated message.

It has storage capacity for up to 8 messages, so if you wish, you never need to speak to colleagues again. Simply smile at them, nod knowingly and refer them to your USB LED Message Board for any further questions.
