Case in point, current hot pitcher for the Red Sox Peyton Tolle. Looks like he's gone full Ron Swanson in his older years. He's 23.

Burton-on-Trent station, I applaud your massive pile of wood chippings where something nice could be. Buck the trend, refuse the beauty of flowers, embrace the blandness of Burton.

Biya Reddit premium, you were good value at $29.99, but cancelling my plan to up the price is a bollocks move to pull.
Reddit will be retiring PayPal as a payment option for Premium users. Since your current subscription is paid through PayPal, it will be canceled in the next 30 days. We are also eliminating legacy pricing ($3.99/month or $29.99/year) for Reddit Premium. All users will now be on the current pricing structure if you'd like to re-subscribe. We will send another message confirming when it is canceled.

This is the good bit, £300 normal trade in for my handset, plus another £300 from Google. So the overall contract now drops from £954.76 to £354.76 If you have anything 2/2.5ish years old you'll get a decent price. www.mobiles.co.uk/sell-my-phone
Upto £600 trade in (£300 normal trade in + £300 more from Google)

So this deal here - Mobiles.co.uk Pixel XL Pro 11 ID Mobile - total cost of contract £954.76 £199 upfront is steep, but lowers the overall price 24 months, 110gb data.

This was my literally my best friend at college and university. I used it to record a fuckton of audio bits and bobs for projects with it and it never really left my side. I made Sony repair it multiple times over 4ish years, and I think I cried the day it finally gave up. Loved that clickwheel.

I would, but you cancelled it before I got to the third episode, so what was the point in continuing if I know the story doesn't get finished?
