S'easy. Daxx is the one who is unable to choose which sort of sandwich he likes, and ends up with a tower, with layers of all flavours

If you have any strength in your thumb: like the bolt,
And the breech, and the cocking-piece, and the point of balance,

Silent in all of the gardens and the bees going backwards and forwards,
For today we have naming of parts.

Forgive me for being a bit thick, I pre-ordered by email back last week when it all started. Does that still stand or do I need to go through the proper shopping cart process now or risk missing out on my copies?
It's just that after the drunken debauchery of the last weekends valiant victory my bank balance is feeling rather less than happy at the moment so I'd not be up for paying for them just yetDeath may be certain, but comms aren't.

Your preorder made sure you get a copy - but yes you have to go through the final prov=cess - but we won't charge you until at earliest 11 June.

Thankee kindly sir, I'll sort that out later and make sure I remember to use the same email I reserved the copies with
Death may be certain, but comms aren't.

I bade my ferrets do this thing for me earlier, as they are more technically minded than I. I hope they got it right, or it's ferret stew tomorrow.
Brothers in Arms, eh? Sacred bond, isn't it? killing other young men. One might even call it poetic. If poetry wasn't the last refuge of the bearded, cricket hating sodomite...
