    Buck Up, Admin - Important Octopus News Here!

    The forum just went AWOL for a while; I assume they were hot-swapping the drives on the database server again

    Anyway, now we're back, I know you'll all be eager to learn the latest octopus news - I know I was highly enthused by evidence of coconut shell use by invertebrate cephalopods, even if they haven't yet got so far as making horse-hoof sounds with them

      I think you need to split a coconut, throw the two halves into the sea, and then put your faith in the octopus.

      Not much different to investing in a hedge fund really

        An octopus will never discover fire.

          They might once they've been chopped up and put in a frypan...

              I hate octopus, have a phobia of them..

              I always try and order it if it's on the menu, that way the population is reduced by 1 as the chef will have to get another to replace it..

                    Think I know what the problem is. Is not the hard drives, just a lot of data being routed through the server. Will sort this over Xmas when the servers are a bit quieter.

                    Loved the Octopus vid on the BBC
