Famous for appearing on an episode of Top Gear, when Jeremy Clarkson bought one and proceeded to display James May's actual mobile number to passers by, the text messenger's genius is its basis in absolute hatred and self-righteousness. Available for about £50, this simple device allows you to communicate your vitriol towards other drivers in pure digital glory.

Websites selling the pre-programmable system naively suggest the messenger can be used to display such useful memorandums as 'baby on board' or 'your lights aren't working' to fellow road users. Come off it. Doesn't pointing out other people's driving inadequacies seem like a more fitting use?

We're joking, of course, but the genius of the device, which can be pre-set with up to ten customisable messages, is its 'use anywhere' quality. Simply think of the ten things you're most likely to say or want during the day (“TEA, NOW” or “NO CHANCE”), programme them in, then stick it to your jumper; Bob's your uncle - no need to waste energy talking to annoying colleagues. Brilliant.
