People have told me that they have had emails from Amazon saying it has shipped but Waterstones and Tesco's are still saying the 26th July.
I thought it was out on the fifth of July BF, mind you I thought mine was out on the 8th and apparently it is the 22nd! So hey.

She's not my cup of cha. Besides, she brought up her embedded sprog. Not me.

I can't. I'm a gentleman in real life. Not here, obviously. But real life.

Making an effort to have it appear that you're NOT just staring at her tits does not make you a gentleman.

It makes you a Super Gentleman.

Please don't apply your own standards to everybody else. But no matter, I forgive you your frequent transgressions against me. 
Quote: EllieJP @ July 7 2010, 12:58 PM BSTThat's amazing.
And it's not my boyfriend who's having the fits about his bike. It's our other housemate.
Why thank you for your compliment. Bad puns are my speciality but when I am in the mood I write bad poems too. I have ammended below, based on the new information.
Ellie JP, Ellie JP
Has got herself into a mess, so I see
Eighteen days left with a roof overhead
Couldn't go house hunting, or so she said
Due to a longstanding plan she was havin' a..
Well deserved rest in the old town of Havana
Watching the days tick away while she holidayed
Coming home sun tanned but more than a bit dismayed
Out on the hunt for a suitable property
One with two bedrooms would do very nice-ly
Finding a house she described as 'just great'
Settled her fears, now she just couldn't wait
To move in with boyfriend on whom she depended
But wait! He had news that completely upended..
Her dreams, as their housemate, the selfish old git,
Said I'm not moving there cos my bike will get wet.
Now the moral, if ever there was one to find
Is that sometimes it pays to be selfish, not kind
If your housemate's put off by the property shown
He could always f**k off to a house of his own
great new ending.
Excellent!
