      Forgot the batphone this morning.

      It's currently sat in the only place it works at home, in the back bedroom of my house on top of a 15" vga monitor. (Don't ask ).
      I had that problem at my house in blighty, mobiles only worked upstairs, though mine is permanently on silent as I rarely get calls.

        I think that Lorne Malvo is my new role model.

          It used to work, sommat must have happened to the orange tower at the top of the hill.

          I should complain.

          Naturally enough, there'll be some hideous crisis & I'll be unreachable.

            It won't work. To cover a larger section of the A1M they moved the local mask slightly.

            It created a gap over part of one of the local new build housing estates. Which doesn't matter to orange, regardless of the fact orange's senior support engineer lives in the gap so for the past three years hasn't had any on call requests*

            * There is a workaround recorded to get hold of him. As its not on the standard procedure people don't however use the workaround.

              mudskipper manor is a mobile phone blackspot.

              Mr ms got a signal booster thingy from vodafone that plugs into the broadband and seems to work well. Unfortunately I'm on orange or whatever they are these days. Really should change...

                Orange/EE offer signal boosters. However it would be a bit daft having two boosters in the same house.

                  They do indeed, however it requires the phone to have wifi.

                  Guess wot all mine don't have.

                    According to the Orange coverage map, it should work fine & dandy.

                    Odd that 3 phones don't.

                      Just looked on the ofcom coverage map that shows where the base stations are.

                      The most likely one is in the middle of a fecking wood.

                      And at this time of year, woods are full of trees.

                      And trees are full of leaves.

                      Just the right size to reduce my fecking signal.

                      Now where did I put that chainsaw?
