Aspirin cufflinks

You are exquisitely dressed, coiffed and buffed for the big meeting; the sombre suit, the silk tie with just that tiny hint of imagination, the starched shirt, the silver cufflinks.

But what is that pounding in your head? And why does it feel as if a thousand numbskulls are drilling holes from the inside of your temple? You have a tense, nervous headache, my friend - but you cannot take a painkiller because you have none on your person and you did not want to go into the meeting with a first-aid equipped handbag on your manly arm.

Now you can say goodbye to that no-painkiller migraine misery, with the Aspirin cufflinks. At the first sign of a headache, simply unscrew one of the cufflinks, pop the pill and re-attach the top. If the symptoms persist, use the one in the other cufflink! And while the word "aspirin" is written on each cufflink, you can feel free to fill it with any other essential medicament, such as smarties or, where legal, jelly tots.

The Simon Carter Aspirin Cufflinks, £31 sterling (€44.60), are available from British Airways' in-flight duty free on most routes.
