Need very loud alarm clock - Nokia 6210 won't do! [O/T]

My friend uses their Nokia 6210 as an alarm clock.

I have no idea how he manages to do it but he can sleep through the
alarm. Personally, I reckon a 6210 on max volume would wake anyone.
But not my friend.

So can anyone here recommend an alarm clock (with a beeper rather
than bells) which is noticeably louder than a 6210/6310?

If such a clock has a dual time setting (to wake the lazy sod after
ignoring the first alarm) then that would be ideal.

The shopping sites all reckon their alarm clocks are "loud" so they
are no help.

Weird request, huh? Serious replies please. :-)

I think the 6210 has the loudest rings of any phone - i had one of these
phones till it took a swim in the river will be missed

I have a SE T610 and am woken up each morning to the woderfully elegant
melody of Digirain on maximum volume.

Surely no one can sleep through that?

If you can't find one tell him to drink a pint of water before he goes
to bed. DO that for a month and he may well get into a routine of
getting up at 7am. Its what the Indians used to do before alarm
clocks.

Alternativly Tescos do a Philips Alarm clock for about £15 which has
dual alarms and even wakes me up.

Give us all your home address and we'll come round early and bang on your
door til you get up, sleepy head.

What I used to have was a Home stereo system that had an alarm feature and
not only did it wake me but it woke the neighbours and that was only a
quarter way up

I don't need an alarm clock, I have a cat who leaps on my stomach at 4am
demanding food ;-)

Trouble is I can't figure out how to set a later time for her to go off..!!

the requisite amount of crushed up sleeping pills in her evening food
should do the trick. With a little practice and experimentation, you
should eventually get it about right.

(ducks for flame-retardant cover....)

Not a chance, she can smell pills a mile off ;-)

You, sir, have obviously never tried feeding pills to a cat.....

In an attempt to save the feline population of the UK from turning into a
bunch of pill addicted zombies lurking on street corners trying to use meows
and purrs to convey the request "got any gear mate" and hanging around
outside underground stations hassling people for their used travelcards to
sell on to fund their habit, could I suggest to the OP that he tries to get
hold of a Sony ICF-C50L "Dream Machine" this is LOUD. It has been known to
wake me, the wife, my cats, my neighbour, my neighbour's dog, my neighbour's
dog's vet...you get the picture. It's a few years old, so may not be made
any more but it's the best alarm clock I've ever had. I do shift work and
since I've had this thing to wake me up I've never missed a shift. (It is
rumoured that it will even wake a student before miday on a Saturday,
although I havn't observed this myself)...:-)
