Out November 14, announced on Twitter of all places.
OK clearly no clue how to include the image even though I tried...
EDIT: finally managed.

Oh well, still quite a while to wait but I'm looking forward to it. Odd title choice. Might be the kind of thing that gets him on The Graham Norton Show on his promotional stint. 😁

Just saw that on Twitter myself and yes, that was my thought. Odd choice. I don't get it. Unless it refers to his fondness for swearing, as documented here:

I'd rather read Alex' memoirs anyway. Nonetheless this is very welcome.

Odd choice of cover photo as well...don't think there'll be many gussets soaked with that one...

Whatever he looks like on the cover* or what the book is called, I'm really looking forward to getting this.  ;D

*I may store it face down though.

I think it would have been wiser to choose a dramatic live pic with a bit more energy, to appeal to the casual rock fan book shop browser.

I wondered if it should be "My Elfin Life" referencing back to the Tolkein days of Rivendell

The Picnic Wasp

That release date is starting to get quite close all of a sudden.

Seems a bit steep at £15 for the Kindle edition but I expect I'll fork out.

I'm hoping Santa will get me this...

I've never owned a Kindle but might invest in one before this release. I don't have a clue which are good or bad. Any suggestions welcome.

The hard cover will be on my Christmas wish list.

There are no bad ones .. I have the old non-touchscreen version from about 2011 and a newer touchscreen model (about 2018 I think) and I honestly don't prefer either over the other. Would look for a second hand one on eBay. Can't go wrong really.

Here's an effin' review. Because the forum constrains the size of images as displayed you may wish to right-click and do 'open image in new tab' or similar.
