I'm going to rig it up at work. I figure the Frank Bough in Nationwide flashbacks are going to enhance the natural caffeine highs encountered in such a place.

# here you go:
(although I've jsut seen it's fucking artifact city, so you may not want it after all)
mictoboy.co.uk/other/desktop-clock.jpg

if you want to make your own:
625.uk.com/tv_logos/flash/bbc2_clock.asp?hide
zoom in, screengrab and paste into photoshop

then download:
www.splook.com/Software/Simple_Floating_Clock.html
you'll need two clocks, one big with just white hands
one orange one with orange hands and a border
then set it to click through

# I just had a go
Can't see why you used two clocks though and how I'd get the white hands behind the orange dot on the background pic. Little help?!
