Wasn't it proven that he didn't have it?

Asolutely, Chuck the Terrible had a turned on mobile phone in his pocket throughout the court hearing. Proving that the condition was fully in his own mind, had he known there was a mobile phone in his pocket, he'd have crumbled like a child. But he didn't know, and carried on without any trouble or interruptions whatsoever.

Also, he was a total cockjugglingthundercunt, so his demise was long overdue but very enjoyable. The worst part about the show by a country mile and honestly prevents me from going back and watching the series again. In my opinion, Better Call Saul has been a huge mis-step in the Breaking Bad universe and I'm concerned that the film coming out will be another. Breaking Bad is one of the best written TV shows of all time, Better Call Saul hasn't paid off at all so far and it's 4 series in! Taking too long to get somewhere, and threatens to go absolutely nowhere at all.

Maybe a placebo thing, but I definitely feel I have slept better and wake more refreshed since turning off my wi-fi router and turning on airplane mode on my mobile at night. A few people I've mentioned it to have said the same. The (perhaps cod)-science goes along the lines of the frequencies of such signals interfering with the brain's electromagnetism when entering sleep phases in particular. Some hardcore believers have 'insulated' their bedrooms from other's wi-fi penetration by using aluminium in their walls, floors and ceilings. I too tested what other wi-fi signals were pumping through my bedroom and at least 5 full signals came up, so I am self-skeptical, but maybe just having one less, the nearest one, has made a difference (along with the mobile phone thing).

Since I can remember if I walk past certain street lights in my current neighbourhood [and going back to when I lived in Brighton] they go out. When I move away from them they turn back on.
.

Almost as surreal as me experiencing an inexplicable crushing feeling of depression when cycling up Dyke Rd Drive, Brighton that comes on briefly and out of the blue half way up it and is gone by the time I'm over the railway bridge. I don't otherwise experience depression, and it's nothing to do with the effort of climbing the uphill gradient either :) although I never experience it cycling back down DRD.

No idea about mobile signals but if taking the word at its truest then I do but not in a way you might expect.

Provided it's not affecting your day to day life that sounds bloody cool. Like the beginnings of a super hero. Or at the very least an impressive party piece.

Yep, you’d think wouldn’t you? Maybe a sort of minor magneto type situation.

Genuinely to this day there are three lampposts I can do it to on demand, two in Brighton and one locally. The local one was changed from sodium to LED and I thought that would stop it but it doesn’t.

That's amazing. Do they go completely out? How close do you need to be?

It's essentially magic what you're doing.

I know H, I also know a couple of people who are selling up and moving to the sticks as a result of this (unproven) condition. Hmmm

Did they inform their estate agent for honest disclosure....or did it slip their electrosentisised memory, and end up described as 'great phone signal'?

They've uprooted from Thornton Heath to downtown Mogadishu. They say it's been an upgrade in every single way. The only they miss is UK Tasty Chicken on Whitehorse Lane, South Norwood.

I'm going to disappoint you.....that did make me laugh because I truly do enjoy stuffing them. I have to state baldly though, that I never stand 'because I hate Palace'.......I don't have enough regard for them to be ar*ed.

Sounds a bit like my thing, whereby people who cross me come to a sticky end without my lifting a finger.

Weird stuff happens.

My wife has a electrosensitive device under the bed.
I would never put THAT to my ear and turn it on.

I know someone who cannot be near electricity as it makes them ill. They have no electricity and manage without.

It's certainly very real if you are sensitive to it, though obviously not everyone is.

Same reason why you might not be able to sleep well with lots of power cables running around/near the bed.

I'm no physics boffin but I'm pretty sure that the wiring loom carries a lot of electro magnetic energy around my bed. Any "sensitivity" I have to it is negated by my need for things like lighting and phones. If I wear a tin foil hat perhaps I can sleep soundly at last.
