Thanks for the feedback!

Do you reckon the A53 would please a 16yo who is upgrading from a (busted) Oppo A52, currently using an iPhone 7 while she waits for her…

Even if they are in the house - catch and release (which is what I do so the cats don’t torment and kill them), or leave them be because…

They’re definitely linked these days. I believe they weren’t always. I’m a dual citizen and used to leave Aus on my Aus passport, no…
