It's made me hungry. Is it wrong to covet a donner kebab for lunch?

(

I see no reason why not.

Then again, I've ended up in pubs at about 10am, so...

I'm probably gonna pop out to Tesco in a bit, see what's available.

I'll most likely end up with a Ginster's or something.

Out of the three things in your pic, it's the kebab for me too

Although I've only once had a donner sober and regretted it...

We used to live near a really really good kebab shop. Proper tasty even when sober.

Donner kebab with chilli sauce or mayo...

Says a lot about me when I can have that sober or pissed.

It's important that I know.

(arseboon dilbaro arseboon dilbaro, Tue 28 Feb 2012, 12:42, archived)

never get a decent signal at all, it's like talking to a brick

(Claude Speed was a Roman called Claudius Speedicus, Tue 28 Feb 2012, 12:45, archived)

have you enabled roaming onto T-Mobile?

(arseboon dilbaro arseboon dilbaro, Tue 28 Feb 2012, 12:46, archived)

yes and i've never even had a signal from that either

(Claude Speed was a Roman called Claudius Speedicus, Tue 28 Feb 2012, 12:49, archived)

what phone have you got, and where are you?

(arseboon dilbaro arseboon dilbaro, Tue 28 Feb 2012, 12:51, archived)

samsung tocco and im in swansea

(Claude Speed was a Roman called Claudius Speedicus, Tue 28 Feb 2012, 12:54, archived)

dodgy phone in a patchy coverage area

the problem with Orange is that they insist on putting their own modified software on handsets, and the Tocco wasn't reliable to start with.

Swansea seems to have very patchy coverage, with the most consistant signal coverage over the sea.

i'll have to rent a boat and hang around in the bristol channel then?

(Claude Speed was a Roman called Claudius Speedicus, Tue 28 Feb 2012, 13:08, archived)

I actually get pretty good signal with them...

...are you ACTUALLY talking to a brick, by any chance?

^ this with fucking bells on

the T-mobile shared signal is loads better, but it doesnt always become available.

Samsung galaxy S2, living in islington, london

Good signal outside most of the time, but it pretty much dies as soon as i touch my phone in my flat. There's supposed to be an app on the included orange firmware that enables you to use your wifi connection to get a perfect connection, but orange havent made it available for the SG S2 yet.

poor service

there's no excuse for Orange to be weak anywhere in London.

But try this:

(arseboon dilbaro arseboon dilbaro, Tue 28 Feb 2012, 13:06, archived)

That's the app i was talking about. Not got that kies thing installed. Suppose ill have to sccumb and install it if i want to try this out...

Im guessing the lead coated bunker i live in is to blame for the signal drop, perhaps. According to some website thing, orange reception is excellent in all of london.

Ah right - sandwich.

I tend to follow the Homer Simpson rule in Greggs and only consume products that turn the paper wrapping transparent.
