you could always square the wall up properly mate before you begin to tile , failing that you could build the wall out using a powdered adhesive,
whats the size and thickness of the tiles you are using ? you may possibly be able to get away with just a bit more adhesive on the wall or even back butter your tile
I had a similar issue - to resolve it I mixed up some tile adhesive using a slightly thicker consistancy, then applied the tiles to the wall with a thicker skim of adhesive on the wall so as to bring out the tile. You might need some tape to hold the tile to the tile above it (assuming the tile above was set a day before) to stop the tile sliding down the wall.

there is a problem doing it that way, plaster skim actually takes LESS weight than plasterboard, adding more adhesive to the tiles adds more weight, therefore there is a better chance of the tiles coming down or ya plaster and tiles coming away
