Went out for a meal. There was a couple sat next to us. When their food arrived both of them got their phones out, took a picture and spent 5 mins in silence typing on their phones before even trying the food! Wtf!!!!!

Witnessed something similar - family sit down at table, dad asks for wifi code and all four take out their phones and proceed to surf until food arrives and not one bit of conversation between them all night. Rolling Eyes
Another I've seen is a couple of ladies at a table moaning to each other about the surroundings and the food - next thing the phones are out for pouting, smiling selfies. Don't get it Exclamation

Toner cartridges never run out equally on my printer. Every time i think i have them all ok and calibrated, run a print and another warning pops up.

My local pub has no signal Beddgelert village is a mobile black spot, it’s great. The local building stone is irony so signals don't get indoors very well.
It is quite amusing to watch visitors to the village pub ferreting about with their arm outstretched high in the air grasping their mobiles trying to find a signal. The poor things do not realise what the pub is built with, plus there is a whacking great mountain in the way and on days when the mist comes in no chance of a signal at all. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

Loosely speaking. Little or none in our place (metre thick stone walls), some in town (not so great people will chatter beside you in a restaurant), limited up in the hills. Just about bearable. Hate the bloody things. Evil or Very Mad Monsieur Le Grenadier

We have a very strong signal here thankfully and great 3G pretty much everywhere, just a few black spots. I rely on that for my BBC Radio 2 or Heart radio in my car. In town there is 4G although in certain parts its a bit flaky. Considering its a rural area its quite impressive really, but go ten minutes up into the mountains and there's nothing, which is a pain and a worry when riding up there.

Young mechanic wants to have a go but started yesterday, and when i mean started yesterday thats as a mechanic not with the company! I declined his kind offer after watching him start to jack up a car on its sill until i stopped him.

Reception is pretty poor in all three, though if you include a fourth and walk out of the village to the Cwellyn Arms it is possible to get a weak signal.
Out of the three pubs in the village though bad signals in them all, Saracens Head, The Prince Llewelyn, my preferred local is the Tanronnen Inn For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

Sounds like heaven. Very Happy
When we stay at the Forestry Commission camp site the only signal is out on the road by the main entrance.

Just read a piece in the paper written by that cross dressing pinkie Eddie Izzard the piece was about migrants and it was full of bol*ocks. And telling me if I have a spare bedroom I should invite one of those Calais jungle migrants to stay in it.

What does Eddie Izzard have? He has a mental disorder common to many celebrity members of the Labour party. It’s called ‘Left Wing Retard Completely Bigoted and Intolerant Too Stupid To Be Taken Seriously Syndrome’ or LWRCBITSTBTS.

Sufferers usually display a hyperactive sense of entitlement, a vastly overblown sense of their own importance, an entirely unjustified belief in their own intelligence and moral and ethical superiority, and an arrogance that defies all logic. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..
