Aren't you going to blame tpd as per usual?

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..

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

Excellent - thanks for bringing that my attention I shall show Pogle Jr

BTW my fave octopus is the mimic octopus - fascinating creature

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

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
