Billions of extra litres of water are being readied to pump into the south of England, with about 450m litres per day on standby – enough to fill 900,000 paddling pools, according to Thames Water.
It holds enough juice for days of standby time on your phone or 40 hours of iPod music, and can be recharged using either mains sockets (worldwide) or its tough, fold-out solar panel.
But the Jawbone gets the right things right — size, looks, sound quality, simplicity, battery life (four hours of talk, 10 of standby) — and adds enough out-there newfangled features to keep things interesting.
It can be filled with 3.5ml of methanol, which is enough for 320 hours of standby.
Oil investors worldwide see that theres enough excess supply held on standby (5 million barrels per day is likely) to guard against potential disruptions from terrorists or rogue politicians.
Sure enough, there it was, that old standby of worthy, exaggerated concern, the scary public information advert.

Farming is the main standby, but there is never enough employment to go around.
Even turning off appliances instead of leaving them on standby will save 173kg - easily enough to allow a return flight from London to Paris or Amsterdam with a clear conscience.
UK armed forces have been put on standby because G4S has not trained enough staff in time.
