You are expecting a call from a well-known, gorgeous model, poet and tennis champion to confirm a hot date this weekend but you have to go to court to appeal all those parking tickets pasted by jealous traffic wardens to the windows of your Lamborghini. You really should have got a mobile phone with a vibrating battery, because if it rings in court, the judge might send you to jail.

But now you can say goodbye to those switch-off-and-miss-a-hot-date blues, with the Bug. Place the keyring-sized device near your mobile phone, and even if the ringer is switched off, it will glow bright red. All this for a lot less cash than a vibrating battery.

The Bug, £9.99 sterling, is available from Millennium Child on 0044 181 420-2015.
