Red or Green Alarm Clock Display?

That's essentially what ours is like although it's completely dark until you press the button. It's also got a rubber casing in case you drop it or knock it on the floor.

I actually use my phone for an alarm (It plays the Willo-the-Wisp theme music at me), the clock is my girlfriend's. We also have a big clock on the wall which runs anti-clockwise. I've had it for years so I can read it fine but it confuses the fuck out of people who've not seen it before.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Heh, I've had it so long I just glance at it to tell the time but it's interesting watching people look at it for the first time. I can tell you that when most people read an analogue clock, they look at the position of the hand for the minutes and read the number for the hours. If it's ten to two for example, most people would read my clock as ten past two, getting the hour right but the minutes mirrored.

At the time I got it it was a toss-up between that and one that only had an hour hand and had 1-ish, 2-ish, 3-ish etc written round it.

I also have a binary watch so I'm pretty obtuse in my time keeping.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I really want one of these but yeah, it's a lot of money to spend on a clock.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
