As well as a ringing noise Nobby will also ask questions and even flatter you to get you out of your bed! Now thats what I call a wakeup call, to turn the alarm off simply say “alarm off” or if like me you like to vent a little in the morning you can give him a good ole shake and he will be quiet.

Nobby’s alarm can be set manually or you can simply tell him when you want to be woken up, he will repeat this back just to confirm the time. You can also speak to Nobby (although his vocation skills are a little limited) he will reply back to to following questions:

  • ‘How are you feeling?’
  • ‘Sing me a song’
  • ‘Make a decision’
  • ‘How do I look?’
  • ‘Are you hungry?’
  • ‘Go to sleep’

Sometimes the answers will be complimentary, some will be cheeky, but this is all in Nobby’s nature, and it truly is a people friendly alarm clock. Nobby the interactive alarm clock is only £17.95 and it does require 3xAA batteries. Click here for more information
