			Cheers, I'm still stunned that they decided to put me in the final squad. Only been to two training sessions. But it's 7 asides with 7 subs that are in a rolling format. 40 minutes games too as everyone on the teams have a transplant of an organ. 
 Scotland, England, Wales, Ireland, Spain and Italy are all taking part to. Taking place at Radley College and organised by Transplant Active.

 |  I went through it but it is a uswitch deal so unlikely to track. This is with iD only £9 up front too

The reason I'm asking is you could then get £40 Topcashback too.

			Welcome to the Pixel family    I love mine. Because it's pure and manufactured android, updates are frequent which gives the whole user experience that feeling of being valued as a user.
 
The device doesn't heat up too while browsing and tethering at the same time    |

			Have to agree - my last 3 phones were OnePlus (which I really liked), but I find my Pixel 8 Pro a better user experience (and as you state, more frequent/timely updates - that was an issue I had with the OnePlus, that the OS and Security updates were tardy, and the older your phone, the tardier they were in supplying them).

Android with some mods could dual boot off a micro SD card. Later on they got it on the nand. Really enjoyed phones back then haha
