If you call sky and cancel, they put a month notice of canx on your account. Then go into your TV, into your account after giving it 24 hrs and you'll find an offer there for either 50% or 30 % off if you stay. The xanx notice must go on though. You can always take it off as you have 30 days

My first car was a D reg Renault 5TL. I remember being over the moon at having FIVE gears in a little car. This was offset by the stereo having only AM and LW so I could only listen to Atlantic 252, which was great, but each electricity pylon would cause loss of signal every 30 secs. Great times!!!

She has to be dropping one soon, surely? At least one.

I sent it through the Rayo app and it was about 4 months ago. I'm guessing it's got lost or not delivered. I think the 4 I sent were propaganda, 1927, one2many and bourgeois tagg. Not to worry. I still love the show and have done for the last 5 years since I found it. Great tracks this week Mr Rudd

@matthewjrudd.bsky.social I also asked for 1927 and one2many on an email as well as propaganda. No shout out on Sunday? Poor that mind! (For context, I've just listened to the show today on catch up) #forgotten80s

I'd immediately bin all shit SUVs, and being back the hot hatch. Id also instantly end the "new" Capri & Mustang E and make a new ones based on the originals, a coupe and a muscle car.

@rjcity.bsky.social Great effort my friend. We all know they'll be back together, pushed and probably will win the belts in the next year or so. The angle will be "they won in spite of hating each other" which would make a great story for AEW. Good work RJ!! They are funny guys as well.

Looks not dissimilar to the original Pink Panther show car.

Google did the most blatant version of this with their pixel 4a "upgrade" where they cited battery issues on a perfectly usable phone. Forced an upgrade through which destroyed the battery life from over a day to 2 hrs. Knew what they'd one and offered small comp towards "new" pixel. Shocking
