A year ago my friend’s mother had a really bad day. She got home from work one day to find the whole family house turned upside down. They’d been burgled. The burglars had been rather smart too. They managed to find and expertly extract all the valuables — from watches to televisions to PlayStations. The [...]

My monthly question: How shit is T-Mobile UK’s online billing system?

By on September 2, 2008 in News

Here we go again. Broken record time. 1145pm and I have just remembered about my T-Mobile account. The other one. The poor black sheep account.
