Bell invents the telephone. Invention still needs work in Germany.

It's amazing that a simple yet powerful communications medium, such as the telephone still doesn't work in Germany. I implore those of you thinking of travelling here not to get a T-Mobile cellphone and try and stay on roaming as much as you can - trying to make a telephone call still perplexes these folk. When dialing a number in New Zealand and occasionally in Australia, calls just seem to hang - no ringing. Other times a beep, then drops the call.

Never mind, I feel better now it's off my chest, and I have preached to my small readership - some Radiohead should now soothe the soul further.
