My girlfriend has been a long time customer of T-Mobile Netherlands. We pay our bills on time and we purchased insurance for the iPhone 3Gs to make sure that when and if the phone breaks down, we will always be able to replace it and get back onto the T-Mobile network. Now, a bit lost for words, well… polite words, I would like to make T-Mobile’s hard working employees aware of the fact that their 3G coverage is horrible (polite phrase). In some cases, while at home or in stores, phone calls are dropped and my girlfriend is left performing, what looks like, ballet in our livingroom or in the store trying to get some kind of signal on her phone. On the 3G level, I will admit, Vodafone needs to sort out its business, too. In the center of Delft even I can’t get a 3G signal on my phone.
I am a huge fan of stand up comedy. One of my favorite American stand up comedians, along with Mitch Hedberg and Lewis Black, is Bill Burr. In this sketch I love his comparison on marriage and parachutes…

DISCLAIMER It’s just comedy, if you can’t take a joke, don’t watch it 
Clarke and Dawe, two Australian comedians, perform the sketch “Lending merry-go-round”. This great piece of satire, even though (sadly enough) much of it is true, tries to explain that if Greece is up the economic downfall river without a paddle, the rest of the European Union is too.
“Why are people selling the European currency and buying the US Dollar?”“Because the US economy is so much stronger than the European economy.”
“Why is that Roger?”
“Because it’s owned by China!”
Aussie humor is brilliant! Also make sure to check out Ronnie Johns’ spoof of former Australian mafia henchman Chopper Reid presenting the weather [
